Aspendale: Beachfront house boasting 11-car garage grabs international buyer attention
A Bayside house featuring an 11-car garage and beachfront pool has is revving up buyers as far away as Asia. And its price tag is just as impressive as the garage.
An epic Aspendale house featuring an 11-car basement garage and beachfront pool is ready to rev up buyers with its $11m-$12.1m asking range.
The five-bedroom home at 20 Bowman St is set to become one of the suburb’s most expensive residences.
Public records show the area’s $13.1m house price record was set by 73 Nepean Highway in 2022, while another house at 10 Ideal Ave fetched $10m that same year.

Designed by the Brighton-based Moull Murray Architects, the Bowman St pad was built about four years ago.
Nick Johnstone Real Estate partner Joe Doyle said the owners were car enthusiasts – and that it was rare to find a garage that could hold so many vehicles within the Aspendale region.
“You don’t see that a lot, 11 is a lot of cars,” Mr Doyle said.
He added that a section of the garage where the owners stored go-carts could be converted to a gym, while there’s also an automated pump, workshop and plenty of storage space.
Buyers based in Sydney and Asia have inquired about the property that has an entrance with high ceilings, a staircase and polished concrete floors.
A lift takes visitors upstairs or downstairs, with the lower living area including an integrated fridge and dishwasher.
It opens up to an undercover outdoor patio with a barbecue, views across the heated pool and spa, plus a gate leading directly to the beach’s sand dunes and water.
The upper storey also has an entertaining space with a balcony showcasing views across Port Phillip Bay.
An island bench with a top crafted from Italian granite stands in the kitchen, where there’s also two Miele ovens and a dishwasher.
The butler’s pantry has another dishwasher, twin Vintec wine fridges and a Zip tap for automatic hot and cold water.
Three of the bedrooms have ensuites, while the main bedroom features a balcony, dressing room and ensuite with a bath and double vanity made out of Italian marble.
Guests can use the family bathroom with a black-coloured bathtub, the two powder rooms or the outdoor shower for rinsing off after a beach swim.
Mr Doyle said that Bowman St blocks did not come up for sale often, as they were tightly held.
“To have that beachfront position is very rare,” he added.
The home’s owners are downsizing now their children have grown up.
Expressions of interest close at 5pm on May 7.
