Located in Villawood\u2019s Armstrong Estate is the Marcoola 245, which was recognised as the 2017 Display Home of the Year at the Hotondo Homes National Conference in September.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The beautiful home was recognised for its quality craftsmanship and contemporary interior design creating an impeccable display that inspires all those who enter.<\/p>\n

Local Hotondo Homes builder Andrew Hopper is the man behind the home and was thrilled to have his new display recognised as Australia\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so proud of this home, it\u2019s a fantastic design and has come up beautifully, it\u2019s the perfect solution for so many client\u2019s needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a real credit to the team who made it all happen, the house has such a welcoming feel as soon as you walk through the door and is extremely versatile making it the ideal family home.<\/p>\n

Hotondo Homes managing director Michael Renwick believes Andrew\u2019s Marcoola 245 is the perfect representation of the Hotondo Homes brand and will help the business deliver a greater experience to their clients.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were over 15 Hotondo display homes opened around Australia in the past 12 months and Andrew\u2019s Marcoola was definitely a standout,\u201d Mr Renwick said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the amazing fa\u00e7ade through to the interior layout and design, this home captures your eye and your heart as soon as you see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Display Home of the Year, Mr Hopper was a finalist for the Victorian Professional Builder of the Year award which recognises excellence across a variety of fields including business performance, profitability and overall customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve worked very hard on ensuring everything we deliver will suit our market\u2019s needs, focusing heavily on creating a really positive experience for our customers from sales through to completing their new home and it\u2019s helped the business grow significantly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe entire team is dedicated to ensuring our clients walk away with the home they\u2019ve always dreamed of and it\u2019s an honour to be recognised for our hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Hopper said display homes play a vital role for new home buyers when searching for their perfect home.<\/p>\n

He suggested visiting as many as possible to determine what kind of home would suit you and your family\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n
