217NB Narrow Lot House Plan | 5 Bedroom Family Home | 217.2 m² / 2,337 Sq Ft
Modern 5 Bedroom House Design for Narrow Blocks
The 217NB Narrow Lot House Plan is a spacious, practical family home designed to make excellent use of a narrower residential block.
Featuring 5 bedrooms, multiple living areas, 2 bathrooms, a double garage and covered alfresco, this design provides plenty of room for a larger or growing family while maintaining an efficient single-storey layout.
The home includes separate family and lounge areas, allowing different members of the household to enjoy their own living spaces. A centrally positioned kitchen and pantry connect directly with the family area and outdoor alfresco, creating an excellent everyday living and entertaining zone.
With five bedrooms spread throughout the home, including a private main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe, the 217NB offers a flexible design suitable for families, investors and builders looking for a substantial home for a relatively narrow block.
Build Cost Planning Pack
Planning to build but not ready to purchase full construction drawings?
The 217NB is supplied as a practical Build Cost Planning Pack, designed to give you the information you need to start discussing your project with builders, obtain preliminary quotes and establish a realistic building budget.
Rather than paying for full construction documentation before knowing whether the home suits your budget, this package gives you an affordable starting point for design selection, builder discussions and preliminary costing.

A Better Way to Start Your Building Project
One of the biggest questions when choosing a new home design is:
“How much will it actually cost to build?”
Building prices can vary considerably depending on your location, site conditions, construction method, finishes, labour costs and builder.
Our Build Cost Planning Pack is designed to help you take the next step before committing to the expense of full construction plans.
Send the preliminary information to builders and suppliers, start gathering prices and determine whether the 217NB suits both your family and your building budget.

We can modify the plan to suit your requirements, including changes to bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen layouts, garages, windows, doors, living areas and external appearance.
The 217NB can also be used as the starting point for a customised home design.
Upgrade to Full Construction Plans
Once you have reviewed your preliminary building costs and are ready to proceed, you can contact us about upgrading the design to a Full Construction Plan Set.
Site-specific engineering, surveying, energy assessments, certification and local authority requirements may also be required depending on where you intend to build.

Engineering, site plans, surveys, certification, council/building approval and locally required professional stamps are not included and should be arranged as required for your building location.
