Brooklyn 32 - Narrow Lot House Plan

The Perfect Home Plan for a Narrow Lot

The sophisticated new kid on the block at Parklea in Sydney’s north-west is the Brooklyn 32, a spacious, light-filled oasis cleverly designed by Clarendon Homes for today’s standard block widths.

A four-bedroom home with a versatile floorplan and neutral palette inspired by industrial design, it’s ideal for families or couples wanting to create something truly special on a site as narrow as 10m.

Part of the Sapphire Home collection, the two-storey Brooklyn 32 is expertly designed with elegant features and generous spaces that maximise its 8m frontage.

At the centre of the ground floor, a hallway with built-in storage is flanked by a powder room and laundry with Miele appliances that opens to the exterior. The palette, fixtures and fittings of the home’s “industrial chic” design, inspired by New York City loft apartments, extend right through to these smaller, utilitarian zones: all wet areas feature white wall tiles in a brickbond layout, polished-concrete style flooring tiles and matte black tapware.

Family dinner in, or out? The generous open-plan living and dining space to the rear of the ground floor is defined by the ultimate tribute to the Aussie climate and lifestyle: two adjoining walls of sliding glass doors that open onto a stylish covered alfresco. Beyond is a modern fire pit, yet another option for the entertainer. The powder-coated black aluminium sliding doors have been engineered to eliminate the central corner post, creating seamless movement between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Versatile Double Storey Home Design

At the rear of the upper floor are three bedrooms of almost identical size, each with charcoal-hued wool carpet and built-in robes, plus a family bathroom with shower, bath and vanity, and an all-important separate powder room/WC. At the centre of this floor is a third living or leisure area with built-in joinery suitable for home theatre. Or maybe you’re thinking teenage retreat, yoga space or playroom? The choice, of course, is yours.

The Brooklyn 32 display home at Parklea showcases all the possibilities of this versatile floorplan - for couples making the step up from apartment to house, or families looking for the perfect layout for a city-sized block. Although designed for narrow lots, the floorplan allows for flexibility but also expansion, perhaps with an added rumpus room and larger alfresco area. And with the Sapphire range of inclusions and upgrade options, there’s scope to put your own stamp on the details.
