Initially we were going to go with a mirrored front so that the garage was on the left, but after realising that this blocked the flow from the entry, and gave us a smaller WIP and Storage cupboard, we've decided to go with the regular layout (garage to the right), and put a request through council to move the kurb drop for the driveway!
So, our list of variations are:
- Change media room window to highlight window (this is always in the display homes but isn't standard apparently)
- Provide tiles to hallway between bedrooms 3 & 4 in lieu of carpet
- Deadlock to entry door
- Privacy locks to all bedrooms and bathrooms
- Corner bath in lieu of basic
- Extend wardrobes in beds 2, 3 & 4 to 1.8m - still keeping just two doors to reduce costs
- Relocate bedroom 3 window to rear
- Provide flyscreens to all windows and doors
- Reposition fridge position to media room creating a 1.2m wide x 750mm fridge space with wine rack and bulk heads over
- Provide additional 900mm underbench and overhead cupboards to original fridge space (centering cooktop to suit)
- Provide one Hume LIN 1 720mm side hung door with translucent glazing to pantry in lieu of two laminated doors
- Reduce linen cupboard to width of just one door so that it doesn't take out space from the laundry
- Provision for LPG gas
- Cavity sliding door to Master WIR
- Provide toughened glass to bedroom 1 windows with acoustic seals (the road is quite busy so this should help reduce traffic noise)
- Provide microwave provision with pot drawer underneath including trim kit to breakfast bar / island
- Change laundry door to cavity door to free up space
- Change windows in the family room to those in the Winton (two tall long windows)
- Request manhole to be placed in garage (this is usually the norm anyway apparently)
- Deadlock to internal garage door
- Waterfall edges to kitchen island / breakfast bar
- Add cavity door to family room into bedroom hallway
