The home has been presented to market by Michael and Susan Brock of Exp Realty.

“This is a truly unique property and it has generated strong interest among buyers,” Mr Brock said.

“In my 50 years in real estate, it is the first time I have listed a home with a squash court. It is certainly a unique feature of the home.

“The vendors have lived here for 22 years. The buyer who built the house, also built a squash court elsewhere and had leftover material that he used in this home.”

Dream homes topping buyers' searches

The home, which is close to shops, cafes and restaurants, is set to go under the hammer on December 10 at 10.30am.

Price: $1.95 million.

Agent: EXP Real Estate, Michael and Susan Brock 0418 820 395.
