Hey everyone,
My girlfriend and I have purchased a block of land in Point Cook in the Featherbrook Estate. Settlement is not until October this year, so thankfully we have plenty of time to figure out what we're going to put on it. Problem is, we're having trouble deciding on a design & home builder (hence this post!)
Ok, details of the block: 400 square meters, 12.5m frontage
What we're looking for in a home:
Price range around $200k
4 bedrooms (or 3 bedrooms and a study)
Media/theater room (more on this in a sec)
Walk in robe and ensuite for the master bedroom
Master bedroom on the other side of the house in comparison to the other bedrooms
Built in robes for the other bedrooms
Large(ish) kitchen
Double garage
Ok, so I know a 12.5m frontage doesn't give us much to work with, out of all those requirements, the most important (for me, not sure about the girlfriend ) is the Media/theater room. I really want a theater room with 4 walls and a door(good for the sound acoustics!) however the limited number of plans I have seen don't have this.
The closest design I have been able to find is this:

However I don't like the theater room set up because the walk way through the middle of the house is part of the room.
So now to my question, does anyone know of any home builders that have a design that could cater to what I have described? Being new to all this we don't know of many builders (other than the ones at the display village in Featherbrook) and none of those builders seem to have a design that comes with a suitable media/theater room.
Also any recommendations as to a design/builder based on their own experience, I would love to hear about.
Thanks!!
