Carlisle Opens 2 Knockdown-Rebuild Display Homes in Rowville

Knockdown-rebuilds are one of the most popular, affordable and efficient ways to achieve your dream home. Visit Carlisle’s two spectacular new knockdown-rebuild display homes at Bankside Estate in Rowville to see just what’s possible when you decide to unlock your property’s full potential.

A knockdown-rebuild is a great option if you love where you live, but not the house you’re in. Replacing a property that’s dated beyond repair or awkwardly laid out lets you start afresh in a brand-new contemporary and energy-efficient design that’s built to today’s standards, with all the features you want, such as flexible, light-filled living spaces, seamless indoor-outdoor connection, a designer kitchen, great storage and enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate your family as it grows.

It can also be more cost-efficient than moving or renovating, and lets you maximise the value of your current investment.

In response to the growing demand for quality knockdown-rebuild options in Melbourne, Carlisle Homes has just opened a dedicated knockdown-rebuild centre in Bankside Estate, Rowville. Here, you’ll find two stunning new Affinity Collection homes that have been specially designed to suit Melbourne’s common 14 x 32m block. And there are experts on hand to answer any questions you may have about the knockdown-rebuild process and whether it’s right for you.

So come on in!

Astoria Grand Master 54

The five-bedroom, five-bathroom Astoria Grand Master 54 exudes luxury, while giving large or multi-generational families all the space and functionality they need to thrive.

“The Astoria Grand has long been a customer favourite, and this new version is the first to include a full second master suite – perfect for multi-generational living or for families with older children. It’s also the first time our much-anticipated Manhattan facade is on display, which gives this home striking kerb appeal,” says Ricky D’Alesio, Senior Designer at Carlisle Homes.

The ultimate in classic new-home luxury, the Astoria Grand Master 54 also offers a host of deluxe features buyers have been asking for, including more formal entertaining space, with a combined lounge-dining area that can be used for hosting guests or as a prayer room, plus an ensuite with every bedroom, and a bigger laundry, butlers pantry and walk-in robes.

There are also two large studies spread across the ground and upper levels, and two separate balconies at the front and rear of the house, providing inviting extra spaces to relax and enjoy a morning coffee.

This gorgeous new display home has been decorated in Carlisle’s Luxe Noir colour theme, which evokes the look and feel of a five-star hotel with rich timber tones, shapely furniture and dramatic artwork.

Sorrento Grand Deluxe Theatre Atrium 54

“This new version of the Sorrento Grand Deluxe Theatre 54 at Bankside Estate brings buyers the same features they love in the 12.5-metre version – a breathtaking double-height atrium in the main living area featuring a statement staircase, an entertainer’s kitchen with a supersized butlers pantry, and a five-star master retreat – in a design to suit 14-metre-wide blocks,” says D’Alesio. “Our new

Provence facade, seen here for the first time, gives the display a classically elegant look, with its curved portico roofline and crisp trims.”

If it’s light, space and openness you’re after, the four-bedroom Sorrento Grand Deluxe Theatre Atrium 54 has it in spades. The atrium is a breathtaking feature that floods the entire lower level with natural light while providing an unobstructed view through to the alfresco. There are four sprawling living spaces so you can easily host an extended crowd of family and friends, including a theatre room that can be converted into a fifth bedroom.

Love cooking for your favourite people? Cook up a storm in the chic, designer kitchen, with its oversized central island, ample bench space and huge, two-way butler’s pantry.

Upstairs, the kids’ activity and study space overlook the atrium, creating a wonderful sense of openness and connection. Meanwhile, the vast master suite at the front of the house rivals a luxury resort, with a walk-in robe of dressing room-size proportions and a spectacular ensuite with a spa bath, double shower and double vanity.

Carlisle’s Light Meets Dark decorating theme gives this home an elegant yet highly liveable look, with marble-topped furniture, sculptural lighting and bold furniture shapes set against crisp white walls and reflective surfaces.
