A local business success story, Mincove homes has been building homes in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions for over 18 years.
Mincove General Manager Mr. David King said “The reason people choose to build with Mincove Homes, is the quality of the finishes. Mincove employ all their major trades such as Bricklayers and Carpenters and this ensures a high-quality finish on every home that we build” King also said, “Shayne and John are very proud to win this award and they believe the quality of our tradies are a key to the success of this business”.
The Award-winning 4 Bedroom Display Home “Oakwood”
The “Oakwood” delivers the ultimate in spacious family living for anyone looking to build a single storey home on a standard building site. This clever design even has a spit built into it, so it will also suit a sloping site. This design has come about through listening to what Mincove Homes’ clients are looking for in an affordable home.
The official judges’ comments on the Oakwood were clear about the superior design and build of this home.
Judges’ Comments:
This was a well-constructed display home with different materials and textures utilized to give a pleasing effect. Face brick to outside faces with part portal frame construction to include a built in gas barbeque with its wood supply was a nice touch. The rear fence incorporated vertical sleepers to give a rugged warm feel which offset the neat merbau decking.
The Mincove team have chosen a number of key elements to create a home with some great character that is also an affordable family home.
The Oakwood features a generous master suite complete with his and hers walk-in robes and ensuite, three additional double bedrooms, and an open plan kitchen, dining and living area flowing onto an alfresco area that is sure to inspire a year-round indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
The whole family will relish the notion of a dedicated home theatre room, while the children’s activity area ensures that kids have their own space for games, crafts, reading and more.
The “Oakwood” display home is only one of the two homes that are on display at the Calderwood Valley Display Village. The second home is a double storey called the “Ridgewood” and was designed specifically for narrow blocks.
Mincove homes has built its business by specialising in custom and sloping site builds and with the opening of these two homes at Calderwood, it now has a range of affordable housing to suit anyone who is looking to enter the market. Mincove homes also have a range of narrow block designs and double storey designs specifically suited to the Calderwood valley precinct.
