Discerni Group Information

The Discerni Group is a boutique property development firm dedicated to the artful restoration and modernisation of Perth’s Federation and character homes. Founded by husband and wife team Anthony and Steph Discerni, the company specialises in bridging the gap between historical charm and contemporary family living. We acquire tired, early 20th-century properties in Perth’s desirable inner-ring suburbs and transform them into premium, turn-key residences. Our philosophy is simple: respect the past, but build for the future. We meticulously restore heritage features such as tuck-pointed brickwork, leadlight windows, and jarrah floorboards while executing extensive internal renovations to deliver the open plan living, luxury bathrooms, and functional 4x2 layouts that modern buyers demand. Our Approach, we focus on high-impact transformations. Our projects center on: Internal Construction: Reconfiguring floor plans to create state-of-the-art kitchens, laundries, and master suites. External Overhaul: Complete landscape redesigns and the addition of custom-built carports or garages that enhance street appeal and functionality.

She masters the balance of "old meets new," leading all design direction from spatial planning to material selection and final styling. Her ability to marry ornate Federation details with clean, modern lines creates homes that feel both timeless and fresh, ensuring a strong emotional connection with prospective buyers.
