Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 18, 2015 10:50 pm Has anyone looked at Sovereign by Metricon? i can see mostly Glendale on the forum but no one ever mentioned Sovereign so just curious why no one is building this house?
Sovereign Link here is the video Re: Sovereign by Metricon - Suggestions? 3May 23, 2015 2:20 pm Hey Skami, Just had a look at the Sovereign 40 floor plan and its very impressive. We are QLD and the Sovereign isn't offered up here, you might find it's a Victoria only design??? We are building with Metricon and haven't been able to visit a display of our house as one hasn't been built, the floor plan worked for us so we went with it and had to visualise a lot. Good luck with making a decision. Re: Sovereign by Metricon - Suggestions? 4May 23, 2015 5:59 pm Hey Tribe7, yes you are right it could be Vic only thats why i have not seen anyone building this one in this forum i have been to the display house and now thinking which size to go for most probably 50 i am thinking to combine sitting and study to make a guest room on the ground floor which will be very similar to your house floor plan. Good luck with your build Re: Sovereign by Metricon - Suggestions? 5May 23, 2015 8:55 pm I'm pretty sure Metricon will build any plan from any state, Adelaide have a huge 2 story selection. Very lucky you can visit the display home, I'll have to watch the YouTube video on it. Love the vantage 45 too. That will be a gigantic guest bedroom, if you combine the study and sitting you would have enough room to add a full two way bathroom for the guest room and the down stairs area, with the old powder room I would turn it into storage room like a walk in linen. I kind of wish we had more storage. Once you start fiddling with the plans you will figure out what works best for your family. Thanks we are very excited to see our home started.

We are planing a KDRB at Eastern Suburb of Vic and considering the Sovereign 50 with Provisional Facade. Love the floor plan and hopefully we can share some experience Re: Sovereign by Metricon - Suggestions? 7Aug 05, 2015 12:50 pm Scott2233 Hi Skami Just wondering how is everything going ?

Good to find some Sovereigner , I have been to the Cranbourne Display - love the floor plan , not a fan of the interior theme though .......... Regards the floor plan , we want to have a guest room downstairs as well , but do not want to sacrifice the lounge , so I think our option might be just "enclose the Study , put Wardrobe in and Add a Shower to Powder Room" Also , not sure what is your promotion pack? the 25K for 45K upgrade one ? I heard there was a 45K for 90K one couple months ago, but obviously I have missed out Re: Sovereign by Metricon - Suggestions? 9Aug 05, 2015 3:43 pm Scott2233 skami Scott2233 Hi Skami Just wondering how is everything going ?

Re: Sovereign by Metricon - Suggestions? 10Aug 05, 2015 4:19 pm skami if you try to put shower in powder room that will reduce your pantry area isint ? we put a deposit last year so we received -23 k from the base price or i can use it anywhere. what changes have you made apart from the guest room ? I am still waiting for the drawing regards the Shower to Powder option , so I do not know how it will look like . Once got it , will post here Cost wise , to do Shower to powder + enclose study + rob should be slightly cheaper than the full 5th Bedroom option (which I think will be 10K) Apart from that , we are quite happy with the floor plan and not planning to made any change (except may add couple windows etc) BTW , you put deposit last year but still not finalize your contract ? that is amazing Dare to ask what is the Sovereign 50 Base price last year ?

Re: Sovereign by Metricon - Suggestions? 17Aug 09, 2015 2:53 pm Subscribed there is a M new display centre in Denham court NSW and they have a Sovereign 40. In this house they've combined the living and study into a guest bedroom + ensuite/powder room. The powder room was converted into a small study with the suspended wall. It looked fabulous!! I loved the way the laundry and butlers panty are right behind the kitchen.....a smart idea.
