Semi-retired couple, Gavin and Lynda, were determined to create a forever home fit to entertain their six beautiful grandkids and ever-growing family. And that’s exactly what they managed to find in the Marseille 32 with the Southampton façade.
‘We were lucky enough to secure an expansive property in Bayswater five years ago. While we loved the peaceful location, with its treelined streets and close proximity to the Eastlink, we were determined to start afresh and build our dream home,’ explains Gavin.
Gavin is a qualified plumber turned semi-retired sales professional and, together with Lynda, has previously built four family homes. No stranger to the build process and the pitfalls of clever marketing, the married couple visited hundreds of display homes before deciding to knockdown and rebuild their home in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
‘We weren’t looking for a plain build – we were looking for quality homes with a unique aspect. As soon as I walked into the Boutique Homes display, I said to Lynda ‘this is our home,” recalls Gavin.
‘You just know. Every room ticked boxes.’
‘We’ve got plenty of room to grow within the home. The grandchildren have picked their own rooms and it’s really made us closer as a family. The home has brought them to us,’ says Gavin.
