Looks like a really nice size alfresco area. We are going to be building next year, fairhaven is a front runner so far.

Looking at the Newport 361 Thanks yeah most people don't know about the 309, we started looking at FH a couple of years ago when we just had our land & at the time they had 245,275.309 & 361. By the time we were ready to build they had taken it out of their books but agreed to still build it same with our balcony facade they have it in previous books but not in the new ones where the prices have doubled on all the others. Hope you do build with them would be great to watch your build. We've had hiccups during the build but am very happy we stayed with them. The 361 is nice & great for the price, lucky they have a display for it as well as we only got to inspect someone else's 275 during their build before we went ahead with choosing to build with FH. Where will you be building ? Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 10Oct 21, 2014 5:21 pm Oh and the alfresco area is great not too big & not too small little area outside the doors & then bigger area for bbq & nice size table, will be great for summer. Definitely go the brick piers if they have them on the 361, as I was set on timber & my partner talked me out of it & I love the brick it looks great Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 11Oct 22, 2014 8:40 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Some more house pictures painting looks like it's done apart from the bulkhead. We actually were able to get inside today, don't ask how let's just say it wasn't easy haha. Our wall paint colour is gemini silver, bench tops are luna white, bricks are chestnut & cabinets are strata grey matt. So excited to see some progress again yay! Oh & the door in our master ensuite shower is for the balcony which I'm so happy about as my hubby thought it was going to be just a solid door like what the inside doors in the house.

And those stairs are so grand-love them. Aww thanks it is quite big but just the right size when we fill it up with kids later hehe. We were told a couple of months ago that November we would be moving in. So fingers crossed maybe a couple of weeks eeeeeee! So happy it'll be before Christmas! Your building in Berwick right? Just down the road Re: Newport 309 - First home :) 20Nov 01, 2014 11:33 pm evec am in circa Clyde North, where about are you? for us I think we will be in in Jan- Fingers crossed Nice area we are in cranbourne west. Oh that's so close, this year has flown by, it'll be Jan before you know it. Who did you build with? If the eaves are fixed first, the eaves line is about 250 mm below the top plate of wall frame. If the cladding ie hebel stops just under the eave line, then that means… 2 43999 Thanks so much! The cladding is Nuline plus by BGC. I added this in as the options at Summit didn't have a classic weatherboard look. Glad I did, it looks really nice! 28 124273 |
