Show me(tricon) the money

With the block of land sourced and sorted, it was time to make a decision on what to build on our little patch of paradise. Looking through the estate covenants, it quickly became apparent that the developers weren't going to be too happy with my initial idea to pitch a tent and camp out. So, a proper building it was going to have to be.

Having looked through display homes of all varieties in suburbs such as Keysborough, Point Cook, Lyndbrook and Cranbourne North, we eventually settled on the design that first took our fancy.

The Hayman 29 by Metricon with the Classic facade was the final choice. It offered us four Bedrooms, two living areas, big kitchen, al fresco living, double garage and a whole host of other things we'd never have been able to get from the houses we were originally looking at. We're going to try and flip it so that the living area is north-facing on our block, but the below floorplan is essential what we'll get.

After plenty of consideration of what features we required and negotiating with the Metricon sales consultant, we placed our initial $1k deposit on the build on May 21. At this stage, we've gone with wooden floors, raised ceiling and door heights, colourbond roof, caesarstone benchtops, 900mm duel fuel cooker, and most importantly, soft close drawers and cupboards in the kitchen. There are going to be plenty more decisions to be made over the coming months, and we're looking forward to being able to designing our home to suit our requirements, rather than having to adjust our requirements to suit the house...
