Re: Anyone build a house with Homebuyers Centre??? 20Mar 25, 2011 10:19 pm amandaander Good choice! we were looking at Piara Waters - but decided we wanted to be closer to the city. Our land was $210k for 313sqm - so smaller than your block! Changes we made to the design were: - Got rid of the Walk in robe and did a built in for the main so that we could extend the ensuit, so there is a separate toilet and double shower. - We made the kitchen bigger so there is a decent pantry! - Added another 'linen' cupboard off the main bedroom. - took out the study. We didn't need or want it so got rid of it. made the front door bigger - got rid of that half wall between the family and dining so that it is one big space. - put a door inbetween the theatre and kitchen and dining and hall to make that living area cheaper to heat and cool. - extended the built ins in the 2nd and 3rd bedroom - added a storeroom off the back of the garage. I too am a little scared about the overall living size but given its only me and my hubby and hopefully 1 child I think it will be fine. Especially as a first home. Have you made many changes to the design. I can send you my design if you want to see what we did. It works for us on our size block. The original design had me really concerned about storage!
