19 Kearney Drive Aspendale Gardens

19 Kearney Drive, Aspendale Gardens. This remarkable corner site in Aspendale Gardens became the perfect canvas for MJS Construction Group to demonstrate our comprehensive design and construct expertise. Over 45 weeks, we transformed this advantageous location into two distinctive four-bedroom residences that capitalise on every aspect of the site's potential.

The strategic corner position opened up design possibilities rarely available in standard developments. By managing everything from initial town planning through to construction completion, we created two homes that feel entirely independent while making intelligent use of the available land. Both residences enjoy their own street presence and identity—a crucial factor for privacy and future market appeal.

Rather than creating mirror-image homes, each townhouse expresses its own personality. The material palette brings together traditional and contemporary elements: solid brick and render ground floors provide a grounded, substantial feel, while lightweight cladding on upper levels adds modern sophistication. One of the most striking differences lies in the internal staircases. Townhouse 1 features a spectacular open stair design with steel spline detailing—a genuine architectural sculpture. In contrast, Townhouse 2's enclosed timber staircase creates a more intimate feel, perfect for families seeking acoustic separation between levels.

Throughout both homes, 2.7-metre high ceilings create an immediate sense of luxury rarely found in dual occupancy developments. Premium timber flooring extends across living areas, while each four-bedroom layout includes a ground floor guest suite. The kitchens showcase Smeg appliances integrated within quality laminate cabinetry and stone benchtops. In the bathrooms, full-height tiling throughout all wet areas creates spaces that feel more like luxury hotel suites.

Understanding how Australians live, we've created seamless connections to outdoor spaces. Timber decking extends entertainment areas, with Townhouse 1 benefiting from an integrated spa. Professional landscaping and quality driveways complete the picture. Double-glazed windows throughout both residences deliver superior insulation against Melbourne's temperature extremes and excellent acoustic privacy.

Managing both design and construction phases allowed us to anticipate and resolve potential challenges before they impacted the build. This integrated approach contributed to the efficient 45-week completion timeframe while maintaining our exacting quality standards.
