Our variations

I'm actually enjoying the process of being able to make variations to a property before we actually build it!  This is probably a once in a life time thing for us and I plan to make the most of it!

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

And to put all of that into a vision ... here is my mock up (I even measure our furniture to see how we'd go!
