And the process begins

Well what was a spur of the moment conversation just over 3 weeks ago is now a reality.  We are building a new home!

We have what we consider an ideal lot in Windsor Estates. It is literally less than 5 minutes from our current location, which we love.  It keeps us in Lakota schools.  We get a cul-de-sac lot, which we've become spoiled with where we are now.  And we get some big trees!  All in all, pretty perfect. The lot is .6 of an acre, so more room for all the boys to run and get dirty.

We anticipate a lot of the woods will be cleared for building, but not all of it!

We've decided to build Ryan's Palermo home.  Included in this community are 9' ceilings, morning room, 3 car garage with openers, granite in the kitchen, 2 ceiling fan rough ins, recessed lighting and brick front.  We have decided to add the bonus room, side entrance garage, hardwood first floor, upgraded kitchen faucet and a few light rough ins.

This isn't our elevation.  Our bonus room extension isn't quite as long but it is wider.

This is our elevation except we will have the side car garage.  So imagine 2 windows instead of the garage door.  Can't wait to have a big front porch!!!

So far we have met with Rite Rug (flooring), NVR (mortgage) and Guardian  (cable, data, security).

1st floor hardwood, kitchen cabinets & granite

2nd floor carpet(and office), upstairs bathroom cabinets and vinyl

We go next week to meet with our Sales Rep and finish selections.  Super excited to choose exterior colors!
