What is a Front House Extension?
A front house extension is an effective way to expand the living space and improve the exterior appearance of your home. Unlike traditional rear extensions, front extensions focus on enhancing the house’s facade and creating a more welcoming entrance. Whether you’re adding a porch, entrance hall, or an extended living area, a front extension can significantly boost both the functionality and curb appeal of your property.
For homeowners in Melbourne, front extensions are an ideal solution for improving the aesthetic charm of their home while creating more usable space. Capital Building specialises in front house extensions, offering custom designs that blend seamlessly with your home’s architectural style.
Benefits of Front House Extensions
- Enhanced Curb Appeal: A front extension can dramatically improve the appearance of your home, adding a fresh, modern look to the facade. It helps create a more inviting entrance, setting the tone for the rest of the property.
- Increased Living Space: By extending the front of your house, you can gain additional rooms, such as a porch, foyer, or even a larger living area. This is particularly beneficial for homes with limited space in the rear.
- Boost Property Value: Investing in a front extension can significantly increase your home’s market value, as potential buyers are drawn to properties with enhanced aesthetics and functionality.
- Customization for Various Styles: Whether your home has a traditional or contemporary design, front extensions can be tailored to fit your architectural style. From elegant bay windows to sleek modern entrances, the possibilities are endless.
