Home extension makes the most of a narrow block in Moonee Ponds

Building a large family home on a narrow sloping Melbourne block is not without challenge; but the result of this Moonee Ponds home extension by BLJ Building speaks for itself.

The owners saw the potential in this aged heritage home. Originally the single storey house consisted of three bedrooms, separate lounge room, separate dining room and a dated kitchen with laundry and toilet out the back.

The home now boasts four generous bedrooms with built-in robes, two living areas, a modern open-plan kitchen living and dining, laundry, study, two luxe bathrooms and a powder room.

The house is energy-smart with quality insulation, double-glazed windows, hydronic heating and an under-house rainwater tank.
