My Porter Davis Build Blog

Saw this Chatsworth facade the other day. Not sure what design this is as it is quite an 'old' house (Last sold in 2009). My guess is that this is a Brooklyn (?) or it could be a design that has been phased out.   The centre of the facade is a 3 panel awning and not a door like a Waldorf / Marriot. The front door is, instead, on the right (of this photo), next to the double garage. They have also added an extra garage so to the other side of the house - never knew you could do that!  This is a very wide house (on a 1000+ sqm block). The only house I can see from the Porter Davis site that this facade can match is the Brooklyn. I was able to find some old sale photos for the house but unfortunately it is missing the all important floorplan picture! The Kitchen:  One of the Master Bedrooms: Ensuite: Where is the soaker tub? Family Room:  No stairs in the hallway, so can't be a Waldorf / Marriot  Open living area: Grand

The contract wasn't ready to present to us yet (which meant they were still busy putting it together last minute), and we had to drive home, wait a bit, and drive back for the 12pm appointment.

Due to problems with the computers and a shortage of staff (possibly because some people would just be coming back from Christmas / New Year breaks), we found ourselves waiting for our revised contract up until 6.30pm. Now, being mindful of the fact that our BC also had a family and life outside of work, we agreed we would pay the 5% depos
