After years of renting, hubby and I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a home. We looked for months at everything from condos to townhomes to old homes with lots of land and some homes that had no land and could not decide on a house that we both liked. Then one day it just happened. We heard of this new development and decided to check it out. We weren't really thinking about buying a new-build but we heard some good things about this new builder and decided to check it out. They had some model homes so we took a walk through them. Then it happened. There was this one model that, when we stepped in, we just new it was the one. It just felt right. It was as if this house was built just for us. Within an hour of seeing that model, we rushed over to the Sales Center to choose a lot and purchase our very first home!!!! I am so excited. We have a beautiful porch and facing a park and pond. There are lots of windows so lots of light coming through. The house will not be ready till June 2009 so we still have lots of waiting to do but it will be worth the wait when it is ready.
Here is a picture of the model home. We chose the same exterior options (brick, siding, shingles etc.) as what you see in the picture but have chosen a different look inside. The model home is beautifully decorated in a traditional-modern style that looks fantastic but our style is more on the contemporary side so that will be the look/feel that we will try to achieve.
On Friday, Hubby went and took some photos of our house and it is amazing how quickly it is coming along! Our second floor and roof are already in and they were working on laying the shingles for the roof. Most of the windows are in as well. Here is a picture of the side of the house. This is the garage, side view of the dining room and the bedroom on top. Below is a picture of the front of the house (love the port-a-potty in the picture!). All of the windows, except for the one in the great room (it is blocked by the potty) are in and the support beams for the porch are in as well. As of today, there 11 weeks and 3 days left to go!!!
