Hi All,
So I've been lurking for a while, but have decided nows the time to start a post. We have come to a bit of a lull in our house building proceedings, currently waiting on contracts and our land to settle.
My boyfriend and I are first time buyers/builders. The decision to build was as a result of a number of failed open for inspections, we just couldnt find anything we liked.
We purchased our block at Arena @ Officer in late June, putting an initial deposit on the Roeberry by Clarendon just 2 days after after our first walk through. Mind you, I dont think there are many displays in metropolitan Melbourne that we didnt set foot in first!!
Here is an example of our facade that we stumbled upon after choosing our colours, we had no idea we had created a house identical to that envisioned by their drafts-people!!

Here is a pic of our floorplan, we have extended the garage slightly, but otherwise this is it, with no kids (for a while anyway) the house will seem big I'm sure, but when everything else about the house was so perfect we figured that shouldn't sway us from the design.

We aren't due to begin on site until late November, so I've got a bit of a wait until anything exciting happens. For now its just plans and pics of mud!
Anyway, I hope I can share this journey with you all, I can't wait for it to get started!
