23 Susan Street
Sandringham

A private retreat in the heart of Sandringham, this is a superb home like no other thanks to world-class architecture and a brilliant interior. The spectacular renovation and extension is a collaboration between award-winning Techne Architecture (Prahran Hotel and Garden State Hotel) and Doherty Design Studio. It has featured in no less than nine interiors magazines, thanks to its state-of-the-art quality, finesse and form. Victorian origins are seamlessly merged with today's four-bedroom spaciousness, a large family room, study, sleek kitchen and butler's pantry with wine cave. Custom-designed architectural features are exceptional with a sense of calm filling every room and outdoor space. What could simply be a sliding door is now a work of art, lollipop mirrors add a sense of fun in the children's bathroom, and a metal divider screen doubles as a botanical display area. Indoor-outdoor flow is enhanced with bifold and stacking sliding doors on three sides of the family room, opening onto a garden by Annabelle Drew Landscape Architecture. The undercover outdoor room has appeared on the cover of Grand Designs Australia magazine, the main bedroom featured as one of House & Garden's Top 50 Rooms, and innovation shows in every room. Come and view the extraordinary fitout, with the Corian and Caesarstone kitchen showcasing a Siemens induction cooktop, warming drawer, combi-steam and self-cleaning ovens. Hi-spec inclusions are extensive, with Sonos sound system, hydronic heating and open fireplaces, hypoallergenic goat wool carpet, and clever outdoor and attic storage. Bespoke joinery, terrazzo bathroom floors, pendant lighting by artist Ross Gardam, and leather drawer pulls reflect a passion for perfection. A once-in-a-lifetime home near the beach, Village cafes, shops and Sandringham Primary School.
