Top 3 popular single-storey plans by Eden Brae Homes
Single-storey homes remain one of the most consistent choices for Australian buyers, particularly in growth corridors where wider lots allow for practical, family-friendly layouts. Builders often refine a handful of plans that buyers repeatedly return to, designs that balance footprint efficiency, open living areas and flexible spaces for modern households.
Eden Brae Homes, which has been building homes for more than 25 years, structures its designs across several series aimed at different budgets, land types and build timelines. These series range from the more personalised Advantage and Lifestyle collections through to EBXpress designs aimed at faster builds on registered land.
Within those collections, a few plans consistently stand out with buyers. Here are three of Eden Brae’s most popular single-storey home designs.
1. Midland – Advantage Series
4 bed | 2 bath | 2 car | 18-23 sq
The Midland is one of Eden Brae’s most established single-storey layouts, designed to maximise space while keeping the footprint relatively compact.
Part of the Advantage Series, the plan places all bedrooms toward the front of the home, creating a clear separation between private zones and the main living area. This configuration is popular with families who want quieter sleeping areas while keeping the kitchen and living space central to everyday activity.

At the rear of the home, the Midland opens into a large combined kitchen, dining and family zone, designed for casual living and entertaining. A separate formal lounge provides a second living area, something many buyers still prioritise for flexibility, whether as a media room, retreat or kids’ play space.
Key features include:
Enhanced master bedroom layout
Larger open-plan living zone
Increased bench space and storage in the kitchen
Optional alfresco extension for outdoor entertaining
The Advantage Series focuses on practical design decisions and curated inclusions, allowing buyers to personalise finishes while keeping the core layout efficient.
Why buyers choose it:
The Midland suits families looking for a well-balanced layout that separates bedrooms from living spaces while keeping the overall home size manageable.
2. Toorak – Lifestyle Series
4 bed | 2.5 bath | 2 car | 23- -31 sq
For buyers wanting a larger single-storey home with more flexibility, the Toorak is one of the standout plans in Eden Brae’s Lifestyle Series.
This design is noticeably more expansive, with a broader footprint that allows for additional living zones and entertaining areas. Toorak caters to families who need more room without stepping up to a double-storey design.

Dedicated home studio room or flexible workspace
Spacious kitchen with walk-in pantry (WIP)

Each of these designs reflects a different buyer priority.

For buyers exploring house and land packages or planning to build on their own block, these plans highlight how Eden Brae structures its range across different series, giving flexibility across budget, block size and build timeframe while keeping the core elements of practical single-storey living.
