Building the dream
Ryan and Ally’s Journey to a Spacious Family Home
For Ryan and Ally, upgrading their home was about one thing: creating a comfortable, spacious environment for their growing family. Nestled in the suburb of Elermore Vale, their new single-story home is not just a structure but a place where countless family memories will unfold.
We caught up with Ryan and Ally to learn more about their journey with Hunter Homes, their design choices, and what it means to finally settle into their dream home.
A Home Designed for Growth
When planning their new build, Ryan and Ally wanted a layout that balanced shared family spaces with room for individual privacy. The Kenneth 263 design ticked all the boxes:
Four Bedrooms: Perfect for their three children, with the potential to convert a room into a guest or hobby space in the future.
Two and a Half Bathrooms: A practical choice to keep mornings running smoothly.
Three Living Areas: A mix of open-plan and private spaces ensures there’s always a spot to relax or entertain.
“Having three living areas was a game-changer,” Ally explains. “It gives the kids their own space while letting us enjoy quiet evenings in the main living area.”
Coastal Styling for a Calm Retreat
Drawing inspiration from beachside living, Ryan and Ally chose a simple coastal theme for their interiors. From soft, neutral tones to light wood accents, every element contributes to a tranquil, airy feel. The Bowman Alt façade complements this aesthetic perfectly, blending elegance with a touch of coastal charm.
The Build Experience
Hunter Homes began construction in August 2023, and by November 29th, Ryan and Ally were handed the keys to their completed home—a build that took just over 15 weeks. This efficiency highlights Hunter Homes’ commitment to quality and timeliness, even surpassing our 24 Week Build Guarantee.
Reflecting on the process, Ryan highlights the value of clear communication and expert guidance:
“The team at Hunter Homes were fantastic. They kept us informed every step of the way, which made the whole experience stress-free.”
With a strong focus on efficiency and attention to detail, the build progressed smoothly, ensuring the family could move in well before the holiday season.
Making It Your Own
Now settled in, Ryan and Ally are enjoying the personal touches that make their house feel like home. From a cosy reading nook in the front living room to a bright, open kitchen that serves as the heart of the home, every corner reflects their style and priorities.
“The kitchen is my favourite spot,” Ally shares. “It’s where we gather for meals, homework, and conversations at the end of the day.”
