Discover the longevity and flexibility of the new Montreal home design

The first of Boutique Homes’ double-storey designs to feature the main bedroom and ensuite on the ground floor, the new Montreal floorplan provides as much functionality as it does longevity.

‘We wanted to create a floorplan that would appeal to mature and multi-generational families and knockdown rebuild customers looking to build their long-term family home,’ explains Boutique Homes’ Senior Designer, Rob Nguyen.

‘We began the design process by thinking about our customers’ wants and needs over a lifetime. We then included the design features that would ensure they’re comfortable in their home both now and later in life.’

 

Say no to the daily trek up and down the stairs – in the Montreal, you can enjoy all the key spaces of your home on the ground level. Fall in love with the generous bedroom suite, complete with a luxurious double vanity ensuite and a spacious three-sided walk-in-robe with dressing table space.

‘The large study at the front of the house is the perfect space to work from home, while also providing privacy and noise protection for the main bedroom located behind it,’ says Rob.

‘At the rear of the home is a full-width open-plan main living area, with the kitchen, dining and living spaces running along the back wall. This area opens onto the covered outdoor living, enjoying plenty of natural light and creating a beautiful aspect overlooking the rear garden.’

A two-sided laundry and powder room just off the garage are easily accessible to family members and guests alike. You’ll also find a mudroom next door, designed for dropping off dirty shoes, coats and uniforms.

Upstairs, you are treated to a wealth of additional space. The stairs open on to the retreat which includes a dedicated area for a secondary desk. Two of the minor bedrooms share a large main bathroom and powder room, while the third bedroom includes a walk-in-robe and its own private ensuite – perfect for accommodating guests or older children.

‘At the front of the first floor is the other key design feature of this home – a huge multi-purpose space. This room’s large dimensions and ability to be closed off means it’s very adaptable to your family’s needs over time,’ says Rob.

‘It can be used as a Pilates room, music studio, library, theatre room or entertaining space – the possibilities are endless. Overlooking the street, this room also provides a beautiful outlook over any views at the front of the house.’

The Montreal is available in four different versions and fits on 14m and 15m wide lots. Three of the homes suit standard side setbacks at 37sq, 40sq and 43sq. ‘We’ve also designed another 43sq version of the Montreal to suit the wider side setbacks required within Bayside City Council,’ adds Rob.

 

This versatile floorplan provides you with a suite of design options, so you can truly make your house your own:

Create the feeling of space with an overhead double-height void

The Montreal is the first design since the ever-popular Pasadena to offer an open void above the main living area.

‘With the Montreal design incorporating numerous living spaces, customers may choose to replace the upstairs retreat with a double-height void,’ says Rob.

‘This unique architectural feature provides a feeling of lofty open space to the downstairs living spaces.’

Highlight your views with a balcony

Match the Montreal home design with one of Boutique Homes’ balcony facades such as the Bayview, Grande or Vista.

This will provide a lovely little sitting or entertaining space in front of your multi-purpose room. If your views are situated at the back of your block, you can add a balcony to the rear upstairs bedroom or to the retreat space.

Design a home fit for entertaining

Make use of light by adding an outdoor living space to the back of your home or upgrade your kitchen to include a butler’s pantry for discrete storage, prep and clean up.

You can even rejig your kitchen layout into an L-shape, allowing you to add a servery window to the rear

‘You can also entertain family and friends by adding a bespoke bar to the upstairs multi-purpose room. This design option includes a benchtop, sink, overhead cupboards and space for a bar or wine fridge,’ says Rob.

Add an additional bedroom: Swap the upstairs multi-purpose room for a fifth bedroom and ensuite.

Put a shower near your mudroom: For families who love the great outdoors or who plan to include a backyard pool, consider adding a shower to the ground floor powder room.
