Hi all, this is my first post so apologies if it sounds green!
We recently bought a dated semi detached single storey 2 bed 1 bath in Melbourne on a narrow block but with lane access.
We’re wanting to extend to 3 bed 2 bath, still all on one level, and are wanting to understand roughly how much this will cost before going out to an architect or builder designer.
The renovation would include:
Full paint and new built ins in the first two rooms
Double glaze the windows add a skylight to the second bedroom
Update bathroom (6 sq m), same location
Move laundry to a hallway cupboard euro-style
Add a small study - 6sq m
Add a bedroom 16sq m with built ins
New en-suite (3 sq m)
New kitchen (different location)
Combined dining living
Extend total house footprint 12 sq m, building our to the boundary (where neighbours have also done so), and a few m into the back yard (would this mean pouring more concrete slab)?
In general we want lots of light so are keen on big windows, a large skylight in the kitchen and a 2 in the long dark hall.
Thanks in advance, LizBiz.
