Smart 4 Bedroom Home Design for Narrow Lots

The 209.3LH Narrow Lot House Plan is a modern 4-bedroom family home specifically designed to make excellent use of a narrower building block without sacrificing the features families want.

At approximately 11 metres wide × 21 metres long, this clever design incorporates 4 bedrooms, open-plan family living, a central galley-style kitchen, covered alfresco and double garage within an efficient footprint.

The main living and entertaining areas are positioned toward the rear of the home, creating a spacious family zone with an easy connection between the kitchen, dining, living and outdoor alfresco areas.

All four bedrooms include robes, while the separate laundry, practical circulation and generous garage make the 209.3LH particularly well suited to new suburban estates, narrow residential blocks, investment properties and family homes.

With a total area of approximately 209.3 m² / 2,250 sq ft, this design demonstrates that a narrow lot doesn't have to mean compromising on space or lifestyle.

Designed for Narrow Blocks

The 11 metre wide footprint makes the 209.3LH particularly attractive for narrower residential sites where efficient use of available land is important.

Rather than simply reducing room sizes, the design concentrates the main family living areas toward the rear of the home, creating a more open and spacious feel.

The covered alfresco further extends the living area outdoors, while the double garage and four bedrooms provide the features expected from a full-sized modern family home.

Perfect For

• Narrow Residential Lots
• New Housing Estates
• Modern Family Homes
• Growing Families
• Suburban Properties
• Investment Properties
• Estate Developments
• Owner-Builders
• Buyers Comparing Builder Prices
• Compact Blocks Requiring a Double Garage

Important Information

The Build Cost Planning Pack is a preliminary/concept plan package intended for builder quotations, budgeting, design planning and preliminary project discussions.

It is not a permit-ready construction drawing package.

Site plans, surveying, structural engineering, energy assessments, certification, local authority requirements and approvals may be required separately depending on the site and location.

Plans include metric and imperial measurements, making the design useful for Australian and international customers.
