With a growing family comes the need for a growing house. Knockdown and Rebuild clients, Bianca and Leon Guthrie found that their old home could no longer sustain their family of five, and decided to look for something more suitable. They spent quite some time looking at established homes with little success.

“We had renovated our last home since we bought it fourteen years prior, so in the end we decided to demolish and build. We bought an old home in Kensington and renovated it enough to rent it out, with the aim of demolishing and rebuilding down the track,” said Bianca.

The benefit of building is being able to create your dream home, with everything exactly as you want it.

The result is a sensational classic coastal home with a stunning backyard area, perfect for family gatherings. Bianca and Leon love the space they now have, particularly after living in an old home that was quite dark. “Everything about our home seems to work as we envisaged.”

Situated right on the canals in Halls Head, this 6 bedroom 4 bathroom holiday home has been designed for pure indulgence canal side. Complete with boatshed, designed to provide direct access into the canal, the downstairs of the home has an expansive kitchen, dining and alfresco to support entertaining and leisure activities while the master bedroom takes full advantage of the canal views, situated at the back of the home with large windows.

The front entry of the home features a double void to grant light into the entry. Large upstairs bedrooms with a large sitting room and balcony at the rear of the home have been provided to take advantage of the canal views and support holiday activities.
