What does it really cost to make your home a designer home?
What you receive in the standard Eden Brae home build package is more than enough. It is not necessary to upgrade anything, however, when speaking with Kevin, he mentioned 95% of customers will make at least one modification to their new home.
If you ask him about us on the other hand, I’m sure he would say we were borderline 11/10 as to being painful about every minute detail.
In terms of Eden Brae upgrades, the following is an indicative guide of costs which you could consider. For example, if there’s promotions on offer where its only an extra AU$1 or $1,000 to upgrade abc, or if you want to consider modifying an existing inclusion.
Depending on your chosen home, the cost will vary. The following is estimated on a Eden Brae Cremorne 35, Balmain facade. These were provided as indicative prices only and of course, subject to change.
Make sure you’re aware of what is in your standard inclusions. If you don’t know what these are, do ask as you may make assumptions that what you see in the display homes is what you get – unfortunately, you don’t get everything as some would be displayed as upgrades and optional extras.
