Your extension in Essendon

In Essendon, the typical extension adds modern living space behind a period home, keeping the heritage frontage intact while opening the back of the house to the garden. Where controls allow, a well-designed second storey can add bedrooms without overwhelming the original home.

Essendon is known for substantial period homes, including Victorian, Edwardian, Federation and interwar, on established tree-lined streets, many within heritage overlays.

NMB Homes is a second-generation family builder based in Coburg North. We've been building in Melbourne's inner north and inner west since 1993, under fixed-price contracts, with Ninos personally involved in every job.
