Karen built a Granny Flat in Corrimal to be closer to her parents - and its the best thing she ever did
The pandemic helped Karen's family realise they wanted to stick close to her parents, who became isolated and needed the help of family of around. It was her dad's idea to build a Granny Flat in their backyard for Karen and her two kids to move into - and she says its the best thing they've ever done!
They looked at a number of Granny Flat builders, but when they found Cubitt's they knew they found 'the one'. The best format, the best fit, the best deal. Karen says, "(Cubitt's) knew that I wanted to move into it as soon as possible to help my parents, and they basically got it done in under four months, they knew I wanted to get in quick so they pushed it as hard as they could".
The Granny Flat design they chose to build in Corrimal? The Banksia 2. This classic Granny Flat design is just like its namesake, designed to adapt to any backyard. The skillion roof and gorgeous front porch provide a welcoming façade, adorned with classic tones drawn directly from the Australian bush. It’s stylish enough to appeal as a stand-alone dwelling while still appearing neutral enough to complement your existing home.
If you want to help look after your parents later in life, or just be closer to family - a Granny Flat could provide just the thing.
Karen says... "We actually came to the showroom and we had a look at a couple of different Granny Flats that they had to offer and trust me all of them were beautiful but this one was perfect for me and my two kids, it was just what we needed."
"The trades were really lovely, they were so respectful to my parents property, they were so good, never had a problem whatsoever."
