Clearwater Home Design: A Practical Single Storey Family Home

Not every family home needs to be oversized or overdesigned to work well. Often, the best layouts are the ones that feel intuitive – spaces that support everyday routines, allow for privacy, and adapt as life changes.

That’s the thinking behind the Clearwater Home Design – a practical single storey layout created for real family living, with smart zoning and flexible spaces that work just as hard five or ten years down the track as they do on move-in day.

Clearwater 209 (DESIGNER)

Designed for Real Life, Not Just First Impressions

The Clearwater isn’t driven by trends or unnecessary features. Instead, it focuses on how households actually live.

A defined entry creates separation between the front of the home and the main living areas, improving privacy and reducing noise. At the front of the layout, a flexible multi-purpose room provides options – whether that’s a media room, home office, quiet retreat or second living space.

This flexibility is what allows the Clearwater to adapt over time, making it suitable for a wide range of households and life stages.

Smart Zoning That Makes Everyday Living Easier

One of the strongest features of the Clearwater Home Design is its zoning.

The master suite is positioned privately at the front of the home, creating a true parents’ retreat separated from the secondary bedrooms. This layout supports early mornings, late nights or quiet downtime without disrupting the rest of the household.

This level of separation is a hallmark of well-planned single storey home designs, where privacy and connection are carefully balanced within a single-level layout.

The Heart of the Home – Open and Connected

At the center of the Clearwater is an open-plan kitchen, dining and family zone – the space where everyday life naturally happens.

The kitchen is designed around a generous island bench, making it ideal for casual meals, entertaining or helping with homework. A walk-through butler’s pantry sits behind the kitchen, providing additional storage and preparation space while keeping clutter out of sight.

From here, the dining and family living areas connect seamlessly, creating a space that feels open without being undefined. The family living area opens directly to the alfresco, strengthening the indoor–outdoor connection and encouraging year-round use.

Indoor–Outdoor Living With Purpose

Rather than being added as an afterthought, the alfresco is integrated into the overall layout.

Positioned at the rear of the home for privacy, it visually extends the main living area and supports relaxed entertaining or everyday outdoor living. A central courtyard off the master suite creates a second outdoor zone, allowing natural light to flow into the center of the home and enhancing the overall sense of space.

These outdoor connections add genuine value to daily life, not just occasional use.

Family-Friendly Bedroom Layout

The secondary bedrooms are grouped together in a dedicated wing, creating a functional and family-friendly layout.

Bedroom 2 sits closer to the front of the home and works well as a guest room, teenager’s space or home office. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are positioned further along the hallway and are serviced by a central bathroom with a separate powder room – a practical inclusion for busy households and visiting guests.

This balance of shared and private spaces is a defining feature of thoughtful family home designs.

A Layout That Grows With You

Designed for 12.3m+ blocks, the Clearwater Home Design is available in three flexible sizes – 210, 226 and 245sqm.

Each option includes four bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, two living spaces and a double garage, making the design suitable for a wide range of buyers. This flexibility is especially valuable for first home buyers and families planning to stay in their home long term.
