A solid family home, standing the test of time
Terrigal builder portfolio – 3 Storey home
This three-story, brick home features a traditional design with a functional layout. The ground floor includes a large, three-door garage with a secure, roller-door entry.
An external staircase with a metal railing leads to the main entrance on the second level. The second floor also has a veranda with a matching metal railing that wraps around the side of the house, offering additional outdoor living space. Two sets of sliding glass doors on this level provide access and natural light.
The third story has multiple windows on the front and side, and a balcony with a peaked roof, which adds to the home’s classic aesthetic. The tiled, gabled roof provides a clean finish to the overall structure.
