A property in Melbourne’s outer south-east, located at 61 Kelvin Grove, Langwarrin, has garnered attention for featuring one of Australia’s top sheds, as recognized by renowned TV personality and builder Scott Cam. The property, spanning 1.08 hectares, not only includes a five-bedroom house but also boasts a 331-square meter shed constructed from bricks and reclaimed materials.
The shed itself is a remarkable space, complete with a saloon-style bar, two open fireplaces, a sitting area, and a full bathroom. It was notably featured in Scott Cam’s book, “Scotty’s Top Aussie Sheds,” as one of the nation’s premier man caves. The shed has been a venue for various events, from family celebrations to weddings, accommodating up to 150 guests, with a capacity for up to 400.
The property owners, Daryl Baxter, along with his wife Sally and their sons Jamie and Jason, have decided to part ways with the acreage at 61 Kelvin Grove, intending to downsize to a smaller property. The shed, a focal point of the estate, is described by Baxter as one of the finest in the Peninsula, offering ample space for storage, vehicle parking, or even a dance floor.
Aside from the shed, the property features a range of amenities, including wraparound verandas, a main bedroom with an ensuite and fireplace, renovated kitchen and bathrooms, a guest room with its own ensuite, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, a double garage, 48 solar panels, and remote-controlled automatic front gates.
As the proprietor of Treeman Melbourne, an arborist company based in Somerville, Mr. Baxter has invested in creating a lush garden surrounding the property, enhancing the serene ambiance of the acreage. The garden is adorned with trees that Baxter planted himself, and rock work in the garden walls stands as a testament to the family’s care and dedication to the property.
The property, with its north-facing kitchen and living space, offers abundant natural light and picturesque views. A deck provides a vantage point to appreciate the greenery and the shed, while the residence itself boasts a total of four bathrooms, including one within the shed.
Recently listed for auction with an asking range of $2.2m-$2.4m, the property attracted interest from bidders, with the McGrath Langwarrin sales manager, Darren Eichenberger, highlighting the unique appeal of the property and its shed. While the auction resulted in a bid of $2.085m, negotiations are ongoing with potential buyers, and the property may also be available for private sale.
Eichenberger emphasized the property’s privacy, tranquility, and scenic views, underscoring the opportunity presented by the current market conditions. He noted that the property offers a realistic price point for interested buyers, anticipating potential price increases as market dynamics evolve.
With its distinctive shed, lush surroundings, and array of features, the Langwarrin property at 61 Kelvin Grove stands out as a unique and appealing real estate offering in Melbourne’s competitive market.
