Walkthrough with Kevin Huynh from Eden Brae Homes at Homeworld Kellyviile

Today we did a walk through of the Waldorf 49 with Kevin Huynh from Eden Brae Homes at Homeworld Kellyville.

We were given the Display Home Options List - As you know you don't get everything in the display home, but if you do want them you have to pay to upgrade it.

Currently Eden Brae Homes has a $1 Sale for multiple upgrades so we definitely took full advantage of those.  These included the:
  1. Stone benchtops to kitchen, bath & ensuite;
  2. Premium roof upgrade;
  3. Higher ceilings; and
  4. Smeg Kitchen Appliances Package (90mm Cooktop, oven, rangehood and dishwasher).
In addition to this was the Prestige Series Luxury Inclusions.

The original Home & Land Package was $1,349,900 and by the way this is a fixed price which includes landscaping, turf to both back and front, fencing, retaining walls and a clothes line.

We decided to upgrade from the Waldorf 48 to the Waldorf 50.  Primarily, we didn't like the Master Bedroom (BED 1) door to be facing directly towards the staircase.  Yes apparently it's an feng shui thing.

Many feng shui believers knows that it is bad feng shui if the door is facing staircase directly. This will cause Chi feng shui energy loss; it means loss wealth and health.

The Waldorf 50 plan was perfect for us!  It meant that no bedrooms would be facing directly in front of the staircase and turn the upper area once at the top of the stairs to a rumpus room.

The cost of the upgrade? $13,000.00

In addition, we also made several changes to the plans.  Total estimate $1,367,457

Thanks Kevin for all his hard work and enjoy your Long Service Leave!  See you in July!

Eden Brae Home - Day 2 Appointments

A Job Well Done! With James Treble (Left) and Amy Tanner (Right) It was a rather interesting day today at Eden Brae with our Interior Designer James Treble. We completed the following appointments today: Tiles and Carpet; Plumbing; and Electrical. We also revisited Kitchen Culture to take a look at our quotation and also took another look at the colours for our home. Tiles and Carpet - Dilorenzo Tiles We completed our tiles and carpet at Dilorenzo Tiles in Castle Hill and we were looked after by Anna.  James helped us greatly with our tile selection and carpet.  For once we were able to keep within the allowance with the carpet, except we paid $8 per m2 for the best underlay available.  After working a long day, I'm sure everyone would agree that coming home to lovely and comfortable carpet is important. For the entry, mud, kitchen, dining and family rooms we decided to go for the porcelain tiles.  This is of course over and above our allowance.  We were

Stamp Duty Paid

Another step in our journey towards our new home today as it's been almost three months since the exchange of contracts. Stamp duty is payable on vacant land even if it is off the plan within three months. If you bought a unit, you apparently have up to 15 months to pay. Based on our land value being $735,000 the amount of stamp duty payable was $28.585.00 At least it's now complete and we can continue to move forward.
