Bayview Heights home with ‘epic’ shed enters market after 50 years

66 Fairview St, Bayview Heights was one of the first houses built in the suburb and will auction on September 19.

66 Fairview St, Bayview Heights was one of the first houses built in the suburb and will auction on September 19.

OFFERED to the market for the first time since 1973, this double-storey family home includes an “epic” workshop, built like a three-bedroom house.

The additional shed at 66 Fairview St, Bayview Heights covers about 150sq m of the 800sq m property and was one of the standout features for Elite Real Estate Services agent Karl Latham.

“Absolute epic shed, probably one of the best residential sheds that I’ve seen in a residential property,” Mr Latham said.

“It’s built like a house, it’s got the roof of a house, the wall of a house but actually stronger. It’s got big steel purlins in there, so it’s a rock solid block workshop-shed with power.”

Mr Latham said the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home was one of the first built at Bayview Heights.

“It’s been in the same family since 1973, many kids have been brought up there. And the owner is elderly now and all the kids have grown up.

“It was one of the first houses in the area – there used just be all parkland around there and spare land.

“It’s the only double storey in that immediate location so you look over the top of all the lowset houses and out towards East Trinity and the mountains there. It’s got lovely views and catches a nice breeze.”

He said the fully fenced home would suit a number of buyers and the detached shed would be perfect for a home business.

“Downstairs was the rumpus and entertainment room where they used to hold lots of parties.

“It’s got a bathroom, a bar and a separate bedroom where all the boomerang kids used to come back and stay.

“It would make a great granny flat or teenage retreat.

“It’s still got some original features but it’s been maintained really well and quite a large, modern kitchen has recently been added.

“The owner isn’t testing the market, nobody lives there, it’s vacant. It is and will be sold.”

The property will go under the hammer on Saturday, September 19, 10am onsite.
