Forest Hill Waldorf

Found this Waldorf on Realestate.com.au (address deliberately withheld in respect of the new owners privacy). They did a great job on all the selections!

Love how the greys all flow and complement each other in the facade, steps and driveway! I hope my greys turn out ok cos I didn't do a full render like this one. I am surprised they were able to put a light next to the downpipe on the garage. Was told this couldn't be done. 

They've kept the Blanco appliances and chose the glass canopy rangehood - so have we :)

That's the standard promo staircase but the floorboards are definitely a post handover job. You can tell because there's no sign of any quads anywhere!

Just want to say.. what a funky coffee table!

We've allowed for a pendant light over the dining room too. Just need to choose a nice one.

That's a huge stacker door!

Theatre with no bulkheads.  The picture must be from a projector. It is huge. 

Upstairs rumpus. 

Terrace and Alfresco

Plantation shutters in the bedrooms

Master ensuite. I thought having two big bowels would look funny but actually it looks pretty good. 

Master. I like having the WIR behind the wall but unfortunately the Marriot doesn't have that and I didn't think to ask PD to redesign it for me. Never mind. Think it should still look okay. 

Floorplan. Shared Bathroom option and they've also changed the store room into an extended butlers kitchen. Not sure about the placement of that laundry...

Update: This house was sold for $1.42 million last week. Considering land there is about $700k, stamp duty $30k, the waldorf would be ~$500k, curtains $20k, floorboards and carpet $20k, demolition $15k, power pit $2k, loan interest during construction $50k, selling agent fees & marketing $20k, that's not a lot of spare change for profit! Not to mention, the headaches and time spent managing this whole build and construction process! 

Good buy for whoever has managed to negotiate that. Apparently it was sold pre-auction. Me thinks they should have gone through to auction!

  1. Hi Jerry,

    Can you give me the link to that property? Would like to have a look at the details.

  2. They bought the land at $450,000 a few years ago. So they definitely got a profit!!

Interior Paint - Wattyl Winter Mushroom

Painting is complete. We've gone for the grey finish to the walls. Here's how the Winter Mushroom looks. Originally we thought of doing white for the architraves and doors but got convinced by the colour consultant to use the same paint all round. Was a bit worried at first but it has come off nicely. 

Cedar Plank Palandri Carpets Laid

Carpets were laid just before Christmas except for the master bedroom which was getting its squeaks fixed .  We picked the Palandri Category 2 carpets in Cedar Plank colour. Nothing too fancy as Category 2 was the included freebie and we didn't want to pay the Porter Davis premium for upgrades. Figured when it's better to let the kids wear out this one and replace it in a few years time at a much cheaper cost per square metre. Here's a roll of carpet. The most excited I've ever been to see a roll of carpet :)
