The Airlie 30 - easy family living on a single level

There was a time when single storey designs ran a poor second to their double storey counterparts. Not anymore. The Airlie 30, on display at Clarendon’s Warnervale Display Centre in Hamlyn Terrace, is part of a new generation of single level designs offering the convenience of having everything within easy reach without compromising on the comforts, privacy and sophisticated style modern families have come to expect.

In fact, it’s hard to imagine how you could possibly pack anything more into this four-bedroom home, while still providing the same sense of space and amenity evident in the Airlie 30. Carefully balancing the need for privacy with the desire to entertain, this design literally places the kitchen at the heart of the home, right in the middle of the floorplan. This creates a natural dissection of the spaces, with a private corridor leading onto the bedrooms behind the kitchen. The result is that even when you have guests drop by, there is still an easy separation between public and private spaces.

Then again, if four bedrooms are more than you require, this front bedroom would also make an excellent home office, positioned near the main entrance and away from the distractions of the central living hub.

Whatever you decide, these bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom, with bath, shower and separate loo. The laundry is just a couple of steps away, so that family members will have no excuse for leaving dirty clothes on the floor.

With the sleeping arrangements taken care of, there’s room to consider the shared spaces. Central to this is the generous open plan kitchen, living and dining area, which faces onto the alfresco area and rear garden. Although it is perfect as it is, you can customise it further with the optional Grand Alfresco, extending the outdoor entertaining space into the garden. Inside, the well-appointed kitchen is packed with storage and includes an island bench with double sink as well as appliances by trusted Australian brand, Westinghouse.

The Airlie 30 also has a double garage with internal entry and is available with a choice of six facades, ranging from the classic lines of the Traditional facade through to the contemporary look of the Edge facade.

Even with so much flexibility and space on offer in this floorplan, the Airlie 30 is just 13 metres wide and 22 metres deep, making it suitable for a variety of block sizes. Indeed, this house would be the perfect fit in almost any neighbourhood, easily keeping within council regulations for height and setback requirements.

The Airlie 30 is part of the Aspire Collection, Clarendon’s range of beautiful, affordable homes. There are 14 single storey and 16 double storey homes in the collection, which quietly entered the market at the end of 2020. Given building a home and selecting materials can be such an intense process, even overwhelming at times, the homes in this collection offer a limited range of stylish packs to make choosing the right finishes, fitting and fixtures just a little bit easier. With more than 40 years’ experience creating beautiful family homes, the available options are based on brands, styles and colour combinations we know we can trust to exude relaxed elegance and offer a high level of functionality for years to come. That means less time stressing about the choice of tiles and tapware and more time to get on with the business of building, to get into your beautiful new family home sooner.
