South Yarra: Five-car garage home that’s an entertainer’s paradise revs up buyers

Fancy a five-car garage? The house at 61 Tivoli Rd, South Yarra, has one – and plenty of other features.

A South Yarra house with a five-car garage is on the road to a $6.4m-$6.9m sale.

The four-bedroom pad at 61 Tivoli Rd was built circa-1885 and renovated by its owners two years ago.

Period features including leadlight windows, high ornate ceilings and an arched entrance hall have been retained at the double-fronted home.

Marshall White Stonnington director Nicholas Brooks said one of the owners was an avid car collector and that other vehicle collectors have been attending inspections of the home, attracted by the amount of garage space that’s something of a rarity in South Yarra.

The abode’s kitchen is fitted with Gaggenau appliances including a steam oven, integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer, two dishwashers, a marble island bench and combined butler’s pantry and home office.

A marble bench takes centre stage in the kitchen.

Remote-operated sunshades can be used to cover the backyard during warm weather.

The five-car gym means you’ll never struggle to find parking.

The open-plan living and dining room leads to a paved outdoor terrace with a barbecue, solar-heated pool and large spa.

Mr Brooks described the impressive set-up as much like a resort.

“The rear outdoor entertaining space is a big space with a beautiful built-in barbecue and pool,” he said.

“The first time I walked in, I could tell it was an entertainer’s home and that all the guests would congregate there.”

The residence also features a library and study with a marble fireplace and a main bedroom with its own marble fireplace, ensuite and built-in wardrobes.

Other highlights include a video intercom, hydronic heating, underfloor heating, airconditioning, heated bathroom floors, indoor and outdoor speakers and a powder room.

Mr Brooks said that Tivoli Rd was one of South Yarra’s most sought-after streets.

“It’s quiet street but with easy access to Chapel St,” he added.

Expressions of interest close at 3pm on May 26.
