Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 11, 2009 6:24 pm Hi,
I am finding it extremely difficult to find a house, our block has a frontage of 16.47m and a length of approx 42. And the thing that is making everything difficult is that we require access to our backyard for trailers ect so require a garage extension. However dont want the garage to be on the blind side of the house as i feel it is a waste of space. I am also stressed that I have left my run to late for the FHOG as i still dont even know what house i would like to build! About a month ago i was convinced the satorini 29 by metricon was the one, but once i then purchased my block realised the house isnt going to fit once we had the garage extension. The santorini with a total price including site costs downlights, driveway, upraded kitchen, garage extension upgraded facade, air con it came in at $215000 (within our budget). After desperately searching for another house came along the Flinders 270 by DFH. With a base price of $180000 we thought we would get in around the same cost as they have a promo for $5000 you get upgraded kitchen floor coverings higher ceilings ect. We recieved a price today of $214000 and this doesnt include anything we have chosen like downlights air con extra doors which would push well over our budget. Please help me find a floor flan that will come in around $215000!! We arent too fussy but would like a rumpus and alfresco. Thank you Re: Please help me find a house!! 2Mar 11, 2009 6:45 pm On the Alfresco part you can add it to most plans. we saw it added to the display home model of the version we liked and added it ourselves.
On the garage side, not all require an extension, aslong as there is decent space on one side you could fit a single roller door there, which should suite? http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rs ... nh-nav&cu= Have a look at the 'new home designs' in there, should help! Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7158 i had the my concreters concrete right up to the fence. I have pits all along my path, so the water tends to drain away from the house and into the pits.
