An old Brooklyn Chatsworth design?

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!

Where is the soaker tub?

Family Room:

No stairs in the hallway, so can't be a Waldorf / Marriot

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.

Austral Hawthorn Bricks

Here's some photos of our Hawthorn bricks. These were category 4 upgrade and costs ~$5k. The off white mortar was another $1k on top. We chose to have the rolled joints instead of a flush finish. I think the off white mortar together with the rolled joints make the bricks stand out better and have been well worth the money.

External Elevation Drawings

These are the elevation drawings on how our house will look like. Wish they did a 3D model but this will suffice. This is our version of the Chatsworth facade. Notice the archway has been straightened to be more contemporary looking. One of our windows needs to be obscured. We've selected SatinLite finish instead of Spotswood glazing. The top of the balcony should be brick too so I've asked them to update it as a Post Contract Variation (even though I've picked it up before contract signing). There's our extra laundry window and extended alfresco at the back Alfresco spanning the width of the house. Extra roller door to the back of the garage so we can drive straight through. There's the big 3.6m feature window. The maximum height they could do was 1.5m which is why it looks so short. Slight fall to the block so our house is cut in a bit more than we like it but that's how it's going to be done. At least we've increased the he...
