A Wheatbelt Couple's Modular Home Beginning
For Caitlin and Caleb, life has always been about connection. As a dedicated teacher and a passionate farmer, their roots were firmly planted in the Wheatbelt. However, a deep love for community and a desire for a more integrated lifestyle led this adventurous couple to embark on a new adventure: building their dream home in the heart of Mukinbudin.
Their journey began at the Dowerin Field Days, where they first connected with TR Homes. Drawn to TR Homes’ reputation as a trusted country modular builder with over 50 years of experience serving regional Western Australia, Caitlin and Caleb felt confident they had found the right partner to bring their modular home vision to life.
Reasons for Building Over Renovating
The decision to build a new modular home, rather than renovate their existing farmhouse, was a considered one. “Good quality family homes retain their value in Mukinbudin,” Caitlin explained, highlighting their belief in this new home as a valuable asset for their future. The convenience of town living was also a significant draw. For Caitlin, a teacher at Merredin College, the daily commute would be eased, and for Caleb, a keen player for the Mukinbudin Rams Football Club, being in town meant greater involvement in the local sporting scene they both cherish.
Caitlin and Caleb’s experience with TR Homes was marked by exceptional support and communication throughout the entire process. The team at TR Homes ensured they felt informed and supported every step of the way, guiding them smoothly towards the delivery of their beautiful new Hamelin Bay modular home in October 2024.
Modern Appeal of Their Modular Design: Favourite Features
Stepping inside their TR Homes build, it’s easy to see why Caitlin exclaimed,
“It feels like we are living in a beautiful Airbnb!”
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home exudes a modern and stylish aesthetic, defying any preconceived notions about modular construction. TR Homes consistently surprises clients with their contemporary designs and meticulous attention to detail, proving that modular homes can be both practical and incredibly chic.
Several features stand out as particular favourites for Caitlin and Caleb. Reflecting TR Homes‘ commitment to tailoring homes to individual needs, the couple were able to select features that perfectly suited their lifestyle. The S-Fold curtains, supplied by Perth Blinds, create a serene ambience, offering privacy and a soft, diffused light that fills the rooms beautifully. Underfoot, the polished concrete with a minimal grind provides a sleek and durable surface with a subtle shine. The upgraded induction stove-top in the kitchen is a dream for the home chef, offering both style and efficiency. And in the master ensuite, the huge shower with a large Alder Tapware Lynx Eco rain showerhead promises a relaxing escape after a long day.
True Quality: Premium Inclusions for this Modular Home
Beyond these highlights, the home boasts a range of premium features that speak to TR Homes’ commitment to quality. The durable TRUECORE steel frames ensure longevity, while the James Hardie Linea weatherboard provides a modern and appealing facade. Inside, the round matte white basin and the brushed nickel tapware in the bathrooms add a touch of contemporary elegance. The kitchen is a showstopper with its stunning Caesarstone benchtops in the subdued Osprey colour, paired with sleek white gloss and polytec Tasmanian oak matt cabinetry. The classy Alder Tapware Wish2 sink mixer adds a touch of pizzazz, while the 900mm wide Westinghouse appliances, a standard inclusion, offer functionality and style.
An Investment in Community
Caitlin and Caleb’s move to Mukinbudin is more than just a change of address; it’s an investment in community, convenience, and a beautiful future built with TR Homes. Their story is a testament to the fact that you don’t have to compromise on style or quality when choosing a modular home, especially when you partner with a modular builder who understands the unique needs of regional Western Australians. And with their beloved furbaby, Bella, joining them on this adventure, their new house truly feels like home to love.
