The impressive basement garage and man cave at 7 Ruxton Rise, Beaumaris.
A Melbourne bayside house featuring a jaw-dropping man cave that could rival many commercial vehicle showrooms is revving up buyers.
The home at 7 Ruxton Rise, Beaumaris, with a 200sq m, six-car basement garage is on the market with a $4m-$4.4m range.
Nick Johnstone Real Estate’s Bert Geraerts said the basement was fitted with a kitchenette, heat strips, television area and vehicle turntable boasting a 6m radius.

“It’s big and spacious and you probably only need a turning circle if you wanted to park six or seven cars in there,” Mr Geraerts said.
“Or you could put three or four cars there and you can still use it as a theatre.”
One of the residence’s owners, an ex-dealer principal of a Brighton luxury car dealership, has kitted the basement out with an array of car and sports memorabilia.
The house has a concrete and charcoal-trimmed facade.
The basement garage also serves as a home theatre.
The self-cleaning pool is set in a garden which is equipped with an automated watering system.
Mr Geraerts said the four-bedroom house was built for the owners and their daughter about four years ago.
However, the project was delayed during the Covid pandemic which meant their daughter had moved out, gotten married and had a child by the time it was finished.
As a result, the owners have now decided to downsize after living there for some time.
The 5m-long kitchen bench is accompanied by sliding timber black-painted doors which can be pulled across to hide the basin and dishwasher.
The house was designed to showcase art.
Apart from housing an impressive car collection, the abode with polished concrete floors and battened walls was designed for entertaining and low-maintenance living – in addition to displaying the owners’ art collection to its best advantage.
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac, the house’s concrete and charcoal-trimmed facade welcomes visitors.
Behind a 3m-high timber front door, the main entertaining space includes a sunken lounge room showcasing a 3.5m-high exposed concrete ceiling and gas fireplace.
The basement turntable has a 6m radius.
The wine room can hold 750 bottles.
A separate dining area and family room features a gas log fireplace, retractable floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, and a view of the gas and solar heated, self-cleaning pool.
“The 750-bottle wine storage area can be seen from the kitchen and dining and living area,” Mr Geraerts added.
The kitchen is equipped with a 5m-long Dekton island and Miele appliances which can be concealed behind sliding doors.
Mr Geraerts likened the main bedroom suite, walk-in wardrobe, dressing room ensuite complete with freestanding stone bath, underfloor heating and heated towel rails to a luxury hotel.
One of three bathrooms in the home, including two ensuites.
Polished concrete floors feature throughout the house.
There’s also a laundry, powder room, study area, outdoor gas barbecue and automated garden watering system.
The house is zoned for Beaumaris Secondary College and is close to Black Rock village, golf courses, parks and beaches.
Mr Geraerts said most buyer inquiries had come from families and car collectors who have been bowled over by the basement.
