Narrow Block House Designs
We offer narrow block home designs Melbourne homeowners love
Narrow block home designs are the perfect solution to the shrinking availability of land space in Melbourne’s more popular suburbs.
With Carlisle Homes, you don’t have to sacrifice either space or style. Even with a condensed design that usually sacrifices width for privacy, our narrow block home designs can still incorporate open plan living, facade options, additional living areas and more.
If you can dream it, we can build it. Lot widths can be interesting to play with as narrow block home designs require specialised dimensions. Still, they can also be a great, affordable option without sacrificing the function and comfort of your home.
With thousands of happy families living in the home of their dreams, we are confident you’ll love our narrow block home design options just as much. Our narrow block home designs allow you to enjoy your new home without sacrificing space or style.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build one of Carlisle Homes' narrow house designs in Melbourne?
It’s hard to give this question a precise answer, as our detailed home pricing varies depending on the inclusions you choose, your choice of fixtures, exact square footage, and more. When fully built, you can expect that our narrow house designs will range between $277,400 and $447,900. Carlisle Homes will explain what goes into this cost and answer any questions you may have at this stage to ensure you fully understand what you are paying for.
What sort of inclusions does Carlisle Homes offer?
Our Inspire and Affinity Collection homes come with an extensive range of premium and luxury inclusions that can make your home uniquely yours. Inclusions enable growing families to customise their homes how they choose, splurge on European appliances, enjoy designer tapware, elegant kitchens, expansive island benches, and so much more.
Where does Carlisle Homes offer its narrow house plans?
Carlisle Homes can build homes through the Geelong and Melbourne area. Check out our build zone and input your postal code to determine your eligibility for our specialised services, such as our knockdown rebuild (limited to specific suburbs in the Melbourne area).
How long does building a double-storey home on a narrow block take?
While the average length of time to build a Carlisle Homes’ double-storey home ranges between 7-10 months, the actual length of time may vary depending on the inclusions you choose. Homes with generously sized bedrooms, and extra requests may take longer due to their intricate features and additions. We can break down the process into three phases: pre-site, construction, and warranty.
Pre-site lasts 10-12 weeks. Carlisle Homes will help you acquire any necessary building permits during this time and finalise loan approvals.
Construction lasts between 16-24 weeks on average and can be monitored stage-by-stage through our own Carlisle Connect app, which lets you follow the entire building journey.
Finally, the warranty phase begins.
As you move into this final stage of home ownership, we put you in charge of the warranty process with the introduction of our new Home Care App.
Our Home Care app enables you to raise any warranty requests you may have, at a time and place that suits you. Use your computer or your smart device to submit items with photos so we can guide you through the warranty process.
There’s no need to make an appointment. No pressure to remember all your questions at once. Use the portal at any time you wish, from 14 days after handover of your new home.
Which range of narrow block house designs are best for my family?
It depends. Do you need more space? Three bedrooms, or four?
At Carlisle Homes, we have three main ranges for new home designs, including:
Affinity Collection: Our luxury range is an increasingly common option for homeowners who want a property designed specifically for extravagant living.
Inspire: Designed to maximise space for growing families.
EasyLiving: Best suited for smaller blocks.
All our house designs for narrow blocks include a wide range of options. We are confident that you will find something you are sure to love within our diverse collection of over 100 floor plans.
What is Carlisle Homes' knockdown rebuild service?
Suppose your entire family has outgrown its old home, but you don’t want to undergo the hassle of moving or taking on any risky renovations. In that case, you can opt to demolish your old property and replace it with a brand new home. Want to optimise your living space? Include a new media room? Add a master suite? The knockdown rebuild service that we offer gives you a choice to customise.
