A family of six in a three bedroom brick veneer home in Sydney's north west need more space. After a frustrating three year journey looking at a renovation, we have come to the conclusion that a knock down rebuild is our best option.

Home Options: Meeting 1

Our first Home Options appointment was today which included:

  • Exterior colour selection and finishes
  • Interior colour selection
  • Door furniture
  • Kitchen design
  • Ensuite, bathroom and powder room cabinetry
  • Vanity and tapware selection
  • Kitchen appliance selection
  • Air conditioning

At times we felt like we were being pushed through a factory – it was a lot to get through in one day. We had visited PGH, the Home Options gallery and had also been to Di Lorenzo twice to look at flooring and tile selection prior to today, so we had done our homework and were well prepared. From what we can gather around 70% of Eden Brae's clients are investors and a lot of them are not that concerned with selecting colours and finishes. I guess if it is not your home your main priority is getting a valuation of your list of inclusions so that you can give it to your accountant to calculate your tax deductions! Most investors are also unlikely to spend a lot on upgrades. We on the other had, do care and want to be happy with the home we are building and intending to live in.
