The entertaining zone including the lounge, dining and kitchen flow nicely in an open plan layout. Our clients often choose to add a breakfast bar to the kitchen as it provides a perfect way to separate the space and add additional storage and seating. ### Indoor/Outdoor Granny Flat Living The addition of an outdoor alfresco area has also been a very popular choice by our clients over the years. Apart from creating indoor / outdoor living, the alfresco area also adds character to the external façade of the granny flat. The Elanora design is further characterized by its windows and large glass doors which have been used throughout the home. Our architectural designer also custom designs each project to ensure that the windows are orientated to maximise natural light in the generous living spaces. ### Granny Flat Inclusions The Elanora, like all designs in our range, comes priced as a turnkey package and the inclusions are well appointed including all service connections, a complete kitchen including all appliances, built in robes to the bedrooms, all floor coverings and blinds for windows. It even comes with its own clothes line and letter box as all small homes should.
