Designed & built by Latitude 37 Homes, the winner of the 2009 Master Builders' Winning Homes Award in the Best Custom Home $300 - $400K category will reveal its unique attributes at the Master Builders' Building & Home Improvement Expo.
Located in the Melbourne suburb of Sandhurst, it's easy to see how this property earned the accolade of best custom house. The property was created with spatial and visual delight in mind, holding true to the owners' brief for a custom designed four bedroom home that would maximise vistas of the nearby golf course and lake.
Situated on a 12 metre wide block of land and measuring just over 299 square metres, this year's best custom house features a single storey at the front and double storey at the rear; a considered design intended to keep the size of the home to a minimum while making the most of the views from the rear of the building.
Stepping through the main entrance, the benefits of the single storey frontage are immediately apparent in the form of the home's lofted three metre high entrance. Solid timber floors expand throughout, unifying living, dining and large kitchen areas. These create a generous open plan living and entertaining zone, opening onto a huge six metre sliding door and rear deck.
The 2010 best custom house also provides for three large bedrooms upstairs, a guest bedroom downstairs and a separate study or living room. Topping the bill upstairs, the master bedroom features a large walk in ward robe and ensuite bathroom overlooking the rear deck and views.
Delivering on the brief and completed within budget, this home represents exceptional design, value for money and quality.
Latitude 37, which not only created this year's best custom house but also took out the 2009 Master Builders' Winning Homes award for Best Integrated Housing Development, was founded in March 2006 and originally targeted the multi unit residential sector. However the company has since grown a strong profile as a leader in delivering individual custom homes.
Latitude 37's best custom house and best integrated housing development will be showcased at the Master Builders' Building & Home Improvement Expo from 9-11 July at Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
