Location: Sheppard Street, Moorabbin, VIC 3189
Project Type: Knock-Down Rebuild / Dual-Occupancy Development
Status: Completed Q3 2024
1. The Brief
The project at 8 Sheppard Street presented a classic opportunity within a rapidly evolving Moorabbin streetscape. The site was occupied by an original, post-war weatherboard home that had reached the end of its economic life. The brief was to realise the full potential of the generous suburban allotment by undertaking a complete knock-down rebuild. The primary objective was to deliver a high-quality, architecturally designed development that would maximise the site’s value and appeal to the discerning modern buyer.
2. The Outcome
Following a meticulous design and approvals process with Kingston City Council, the original dwelling was demolished to create a clean slate. In its place, we have successfully delivered a stunning dual-occupancy development, comprising two contemporary, street-facing townhouses.
Each residence was crafted to the highest standards, offering a sophisticated yet functional floorplan designed for modern family living. The development has completely transformed the site, replacing an aged property with two high-value, aesthetically pleasing homes that significantly enhance the local streetscape and set a new benchmark for quality in the immediate area.
3. Key Features
- Architectural Design: Two unique, double-storey townhouses, each featuring a modern façade with a refined palette of materials including feature brickwork, lightweight cladding, and extensive glazing.
- Spacious Accommodation: Each residence offers four generously sized bedrooms and three designer bathrooms, including the highly sought-after convenience of both ground-floor and first-floor master suites to cater to a range of lifestyles.
- Luxury Interiors: The interiors are defined by expansive, open-plan living and dining areas, state-of-the-art kitchens with stone waterfall benchtops and Bosch appliances, and engineered oak flooring.
- Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living: Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors connect the main living zones to private, landscaped alfresco courtyards, creating perfect spaces for entertaining and relaxation.
- Premium Appointments: No detail was overlooked, with features including zoned ducted heating and cooling, security systems, ample storage, and single-car garages with internal access.
4. Project Success
The Sheppard Street project was a resounding success, delivered on schedule and to an exceptional standard of quality. It stands as a prime example of how a strategic knock-down rebuild can unlock the latent potential of a suburban block, converting an under-utilised property into two highly desirable and valuable family homes.
