SDA Home | Two Independent Homes on One Title | Northcote 206 & 206 A Darebin Road is a purpose-designed SDA property made up of two completely self-contained homes on one title. The layout has been carefully planned to support participants who need accessible, functional housing while still providing privacy, comfort, and a home that feels welcoming rather than clinical. The architectural drawings confirm two separate dwellings positioned side-by-side, each with its own entrance, kitchen, living area, bedrooms, bathroom spaces, and outdoor areas. This means each participant household can live independently while still benefiting from a purpose-built design and a support-friendly layout. This property is Two Independent Homes on One Title, which is one of the key benefits of the home. It allows participants to live in a smaller, more private household setting while still having a design that supports accessibility, support delivery, and long-term comfort.

Built Around How You Actually Live Both 206 and 206 A are single-level homes designed around spacious open-plan living. Each dwelling includes a large kitchen, meals, and living area that connects naturally to the bedrooms and the outdoor alfresco space. The layout keeps everyday living simple. There are no unnecessary level changes, and each home flows logically from the entry through to the living area and outdoor space. This makes the home easier to navigate and more comfortable for both participants and support workers. The open-plan design also allows participants to stay connected to the rest of the home while still having enough room to move freely and safely.

Quiet Spaces That Feel Personal Each home includes well-sized participant bedrooms positioned away from the main living areas to create a quieter and more private environment. The plans show two main bedrooms plus an additional room that can be used as an OOA room or a third bedroom depending on the participant’s needs. This flexible layout gives participants more choice in how they use their space. The additional room can be used for: Overnight onsite support A quiet retreat or therapy room A study or personal space A third bedroom if required Each bedroom is positioned close to the bathroom spaces while still maintaining separation from shared living areas, helping support both privacy and daily routines.

Comfortable, Open, and Practical The kitchen in both homes sits at the centre of the open-plan layout and connects directly to the meals and living area. The floor plan shows generous space around the kitchen and island bench, making daily tasks easier and more comfortable. The open-plan design allows participants to: Prepare meals more independently Stay connected to the rest of the home Move easily between kitchen, dining, and living areas Enjoy a space that feels like a normal home rather than a clinical environment Natural light and the connection to the outdoor alfresco space also help make the main living area feel open and relaxed.

Simple to Use, Easy to Support Each home includes multiple bathroom spaces positioned close to the participant bedrooms. The layout makes it easier for participants to follow daily routines while also allowing support workers to assist safely when needed. The positioning of the bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry areas has been planned to make everyday living simpler and more practical. It also helps reduce unnecessary movement across the home, which is especially important for participants who require ongoing support.

Fresh Air Without Leaving Home Both 206 and 206 A include a covered alfresco area connected directly to the main living space. This gives participants a private outdoor area that can be used comfortably throughout the year. The outdoor space is ideal for: Relaxing in a quieter environment Spending time with family or support workers Enjoying fresh air without leaving home Creating a calm space separate from the main living area Each home also includes its own courtyard or private outdoor section, helping maintain privacy between the two dwellings.

Straightforward and Stress-Free Access Each dwelling includes its own garage with direct access to the home. This makes arrivals and departures easier and provides a safe, weather-protected way to enter the house. The single-level layout and direct access from the garage also make the home more practical for everyday use, especially for participants who require additional support.

Independence for Participants, Practicality for Support The biggest advantage of 206 & 206 A Darebin Road is the balance between independence and support. Because it is Two Independent Homes on One Title, participants can live in a smaller, more private household rather than a large shared home. At the same time, the layout still supports the practical needs of SIL providers through: Clear and easy-to-navigate floor plans Separate bedrooms and shared areas Space for an OOA room or flexible support use Simple movement between bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas Private outdoor areas for each household This combination makes the property easier to support while still feeling comfortable and personal for the people who live there.
