3 Stunning Knock Down Rebuilds By Montgomery Homes
Three stunning knock down rebuilds by Montgomery Homes
Love where you live but need a fresh start? You have a few options:
- Sell up, pack up and move away.
- Commit to an expensive renovation project where a budget blowout is a big risk.
- Knock down your existing house and build a place to call home!
At Montgomery Homes, we believe a knockdown rebuild project is the most cost-effective and convenient way to give your home a refresh.
Rather than dealing with real estate fees or expensive, complicated renovations, a knockdown rebuild allows you to build a brand new home on your existing block — plus, there are no stamp duty fees on a knockdown rebuild, so you can spend that extra budget on luxurious upgrades!
We have completed hundreds of knockdown rebuild projects over the last 30 years, giving Australian homeowners a fresh start in a stunning new home. Here, we share three of our favourite knockdown rebuild stories, so you can get an idea of the building process and the possibilities for your future.
Knock down rebuild in Sydney
One of our favourite knockdown rebuilds in Sydney was this stunning transformation from a dated metropolitan house into a gorgeous architectural home. The client chose the double-storey San Tropez 273 design with our Executive facade — crafted for sideways sloping sites, the San Tropez 273 fit the block like a dream and added a grand staircase to the front yard.
What a welcoming sight to come home to!
The San Tropez 273 is the perfect design for growing families or families with big plans. With four spacious bedrooms and three different living rooms, every family member will have their own space to relax and unwind. The kitchen and main entertaining areas are located on the mid-floor, offering privacy for the bedrooms and master suite on the top floor.
Plus, the master suite has an extra-large walk-in-robe and the spare rooms have built-in-robes, so storage will never be an issue.
Knock down rebuild on the Central Coast
On the Central Coast, we completed a knockdown rebuild on a unique block: a very steep uphill sloping site. The Riviera 2 293 was the perfect solution — this is one of our stand-out split-level designs and rather than cutting into the site, we were able to work with the site and maximise the natural airflow and drainage possibilities. No excessive retaining walls — this design works wonderfully with sloping sites.
The client chose the Retro facade with its raked ceiling, neutral colour scheme and extra-large timber door with double-glazed glass panels. Oozing elegance, this design truly enhanced the street appeal.
The central living area opens up to a large, enchanting deck that overlooks the neighbourhood, giving our client the perfect place to sit back and relax at the end of the day, sipping drinks and enjoying the view.
Knock down rebuild in Newcastle
In Newcastle, we knocked down a dated, flat-roofed house and rebuilt something spectacular. The client chose the Coolum 266 in our Metro facade to suit their exceptionally narrow block — this design suits blocks with 10.7m wide frontage or larger or a 10.1m wide with zero lot on one side.
The Coolum 266 has all the space a family needs to live and grow. This two storey home can have five spacious bedrooms or four bedrooms and a study, ideal for those who work from home or simply need a quiet space to focus.
Storage is also never a problem in the Coolum 266. With a walk-in pantry, a walk-in robe in the master suite and convenient built-in robes in all spare bedrooms, you’ll never run out of storage space and the house will never be cluttered!
Why you should consider a knock down rebuild project
If you love where you live but need more space to grow, a knockdown rebuild project could be the perfect solution. There’s no need to move out of your suburb and away from the area you know best — you can simply knock down your existing home and rebuild something spectacular.
There’s a huge range of benefits to knocking down a house and rebuilding a home.
- Stay where you love. You can stay in your current location where you and your family have created precious memories.
