Dual Living – A Home that Grows with you

Our Dual Living Specialist, Carl, shares how dual living homes are helping families achieve what once seemed out of reach. Whether you're a first home buyer looking to increase your borrowing capacity, an investor seeking multiple income streams, or a family planning for parents or adult children to live close by, dual living offers a solution that adapts as life changes.

Great dual living isn't about squeezing two dwellings onto one block. It's about creating spaces that work together seamlessly, look intentional, and deliver genuine long-term value. With flexible designs you can tailor to your needs and build quality that performs for decades, not just years, you can create a home that works for your family today and remains relevant for whatever comes next.

The benefits of dual living house plans

Many Australian homeowners are switching to dual occupancy homes, given the abundance of financial and lifestyle benefits. First-home buyers may be attracted to the additional rental income or the possibilities for setting up a home office/business. 

Those looking to build a bigger house while their family grows may take advantage of the increased property value and market appeal, or maybe they are planning for older relatives moving in down the track.

If you’re intrigued about building a dual property on the same property, contact Montgomery Homes.

The timeframe for building a new home varies according to a number of factors including, but not limited to - the home design selected (single-storey vs double-storey or split-level), the individual specifications of the block of land (including site accessibility and condition), and external approvals (such as local council and BASIX). Behind every Montgomery Homes build is a team who are passionate about seeing your dream home come to life. Please get in touch with our team to enquire about the build timeline for your new home.

Yes! Montgomery Homes has a strong reputation for being the go-to builder for sloping blocks and difficult sites. When approaching a sloping site, our team of experts work with the natural gradient of the land to maximise potential views, breezes, and natural light. Explore the benefits of a split level home.

Of course! With block sizes on the decline, we have expanded our range of home designs to suit narrow blocks. We have home designs ranging from 5.7 metres all the way to 29.27 metres. Explore our range of narrow home designs.

The right home design will depend on the size and slope of the land. For example, if you have a narrow block, our team will recommend designs from our narrow home design collection. Likewise, if land has a challenging slope, we might recommend a split-level home design to make the most of the land. We’ll help you choose the right home design for the unique challenges of your property. You can choose the facade theme, the internal and external colours, and more! We’ll be with you through the entire process, so you can rest assured knowing you’ll receive the brand new home you’ve been dreaming of.

"Montgomery Homes were very professional and helpful throughout the whole sales and then build process. The digital client portal was a great way to have us see updates as the building was underway. They kept us informed throughout and had our house completed earlier than expected. The end result is an amazing looking house that is super comfortable to live in."
