Brian and Amanda, both esteemed professionals—one a corporate leader, the other an Olympic champion—recognized the potential of this ideally situated townhouse in Sorrento despite its outdated layout and lack of functionality.
Engaging Niven Builders from the outset, they embarked on a transformation to maximize both elegance and practicality. Niven Builders crafted thoughtful designs featuring bespoke joinery, strategic lighting, and the indulgence of a bathtub for post-beach relaxation with their grandchildren. Ingenious engineering transformed an under-stairs area into a compact yet fully equipped laundry.
With careful coordination with neighbours and the corporate body, Niven Builders oversaw a seamless renovation, turning this once-tired property into a refined retreat. Inspired by Tuscan charm, the home now enjoys serene views over a Tuscan-like vegetable garden one way and extending down to Sorrento’s back beach the other. Two alfresco spaces invite gatherings of family and friends , while a versatile multipurpose room offers both a cozy home theatre or optional bedroom, perfect for sports fans and family alike.
Amanda reports Brian, and I know that Niven Builders put their hearts and soul into MV, and what an outstanding end finish! Quality of workmanship is superb and you Lauren and your tradies and now your son are absolute gems👍👍.
