Hi everyone,
I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread on our build too. We have a 14 X 32 m block and have decided to build a double storey, 5 bedroom home. We really started this process 2 years ago. We bought the land in 2016 and it was titled in July 2017. But now we are full steam ahead. We considered Marbella by Porter Davis, Vantage by Metricon, Hampshire by Metricon, Sovereign by Metricon, Glendale by Metricon and Granada by Carlisle but eventually decided and signed on with the Zanzibar (45) by Metricon.
We loved the floorplan as there were no structural changes to be made. Every requirement we had was met with this floorplan. This will be our first build and are anxious and excited about the future.
We absolutely love the floorplan with the master suite on the bottom floor as this not only provides easy access to a bedroom in case of an injury or sickness. We decided to put a normal flush panel door from the pantry to the laundry to allow for extra space and storage. The positioning of the powder room is excellent as it is right in the middle of the sitting and family/dining/kitchen spaces (which are going to be used majority of the time).
The WIR's of the top floor bedrooms was also a plus as it is a fantastic storage unit. The alcoves of each bedroom except bedroom 2 was also a major incentive as it allows for everything to be packed away neatly and for there to be no intrusions on the bedroom space. Bedroom 2 will be left as a study/spare bedroom as there is no alcove.
Overall, we found this plan to include many storage places and also allowed for items to be put away nice and neatly. This was such a necessity for us as it gets rid of a clustered look.
