We went back and forth from m******* to henley and in the end, realised we got so much more for our $$$ with henley. I'll forgive you Trudy... , Thank you, We always loved the Cottesloe plan right from the start but hesitated in deciding as there were no displays, leap of faith and being able to visualise was the decider..l The Talise was another fave.. but a bit too long for our block Made a few changes, - our sales consultant called it Clendonvaled !! Bricks above the windows , high ceilings.. u know.. widened the garage, added an entry from the garage through the Study ( were using this part as a Mud room, you know for the Golf sticks, coats, shoes etc.. ) We also sacrificed space from the study to put in a much bigger Pantry Couple of extra wall to the living room, a doorway from the entrance to Kitchen / family Big ticket item was the Grand alfresco which was a structural change.. Same thoughts as us we laid down a deposit with the Big M, but changed to Henley.. more for the dollar + all the staff we have dealt with have been Great. 3 weeks isn't too far away, very exited for you.
