NEW HOUSE PLAN: 236.6 Narrow Lot – 4 Bedroom Family Home with Double Garage
Big Family Living on a Narrower Block
Finding a home design that offers four bedrooms, multiple living spaces and a double garage without requiring an exceptionally wide block can be a challenge.
That is why we have added the 236.6 Narrow Lot House Plan to our latest collection.
Designed for modern family living, this single-level home combines 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, two separate living areas, a double garage and covered outdoor entertaining area in a practical 236.6 m² / 2,547 sq ft design.
Whether you're building in a new residential estate, on an infill block or simply want to make better use of a narrower property, this design is worth considering.
Designed for the Modern Family
One of the biggest advantages of the 236.6 design is that it doesn't feel like a typical narrow home.
Rather than sacrificing living space, the floor plan provides two separate living zones.
The main living and dining area creates a comfortable everyday family space, while the separate family room gives you another area for relaxing, watching television or giving children and teenagers their own space.
This separation can make a considerable difference in a busy family home.
The design includes:
4 Bedrooms
2 Bathrooms
Master Bedroom with Ensuite
2 Separate Living Areas
Open-Plan Living & Dining
Modern Kitchen
Large Pantry
Double Garage
Covered Outdoor Patio
Front Porch
Built-In Storage
Single-Level Floor Plan
Narrow Lot Design
A Kitchen at the Heart of the Home
The kitchen has been positioned centrally within the home, allowing it to connect naturally with the main family areas.
A generous island provides additional preparation space and casual seating, while the adjoining pantry offers valuable extra storage.
This arrangement also allows whoever is preparing meals to remain connected with the family rather than being isolated in a separate kitchen.
For families who enjoy entertaining, the nearby covered patio adds another useful living zone.
Two Living Areas – Is It Worth It?
For a four-bedroom family home, I generally consider a second living area a very worthwhile feature.
It doesn't necessarily need to be enormous.
What matters is having somewhere separate from the main lounge where children can watch television, visitors can sit, or family members can simply have some privacy.
The 236.6 Narrow Lot design provides both a living room and a family room without creating an unnecessarily complicated floor plan.
Indoor-Outdoor Living
The covered patio extends the home's usable living space outdoors.
It provides room for an outdoor table, BBQ and entertaining area while being directly connected to the family section of the home.
Depending on your building location and orientation, this area could also be adapted or enlarged to suit your climate and lifestyle.
Four Practical Bedrooms
The home includes four bedrooms, making it suitable for larger families as well as buyers wanting additional rooms for guests or a home office.
The main bedroom incorporates its own ensuite and storage, while the remaining bedrooms are positioned around the family bathroom.
Bedroom 1: 3.4 × 3.5 m / 11'6" × 11'3"
Bedroom 2: 3.0 × 3.4 m / 11'6" × 9'10"
Bedroom 3: 3.0 × 3.4 m / 11'6" × 9'10"
Bedroom 4: 3.0 × 3.4 m / 11'6" × 9'10"

Ask the Builder: Why Consider a Narrow Lot Design?
After many years in the building industry, one thing I have seen repeatedly is people concentrating on the size of the house rather than how efficiently the available space is being used.
A well-designed narrow home can still provide excellent family living.
The trick is to minimise wasted hallways, position the kitchen and living areas carefully, provide enough storage and make sure bedrooms remain practical sizes.
The 236.6 design is a good example of this approach. You still get four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, outdoor entertaining and a double garage without needing an excessively wide home.
For anyone comparing blocks of land, a good narrow-lot design may also open up properties you might otherwise have overlooked.
Start with Concept Plans Before Spending Thousands
One of the reasons we offer affordable Concept House Plans is to give homeowners an economical way to investigate a design before moving to expensive construction documentation.
The 236.6 Concept Plan Set can be used to help you:
Discuss the design with your builder
Obtain preliminary building quotations
Compare potential building costs
Work out whether the design suits your property
Consider changes before construction drawings begin
Develop your own ideas from an existing professional design
The plan package includes the builder's concept floor plan, concept elevations, 2D floor plan, 3D exterior render and copyright release to use the design for building.
Full construction plans and design modifications can also be requested.
Important: Concept plans are a starting point for planning, design development and pricing. Site-specific documentation, engineering and local approvals may be required before construction.
Can We Modify the 236.6 Design?
Yes.
Pre-drawn plans don't have to mean you are stuck with every part of the original design.
We can provide a quote to modify the home to better suit your land, family or preferred style.
For example, you may want to change the façade, enlarge the patio, adjust bedroom sizes, modify the kitchen, change windows and doors or alter the internal layout.
You can then decide whether to proceed to a more detailed Full Construction Plan Set.
A New Design Worth Considering
If you've been searching for a 4 bedroom narrow lot house plan with a double garage, the new 236.6 design offers a lot of home within a carefully planned footprint.
With 2,547 sq ft / 236.6 m² of total area, four bedrooms, two separate living areas and a generous covered patio, it has been designed around something that matters more than simply creating an impressive floor plan:
making the house practical to live in every day.
