Memory LaneI remember when my wife and I purchased our first "new home". Way back in 2000. Wow - have we made some changes to the home and property over the years!
First of all, the home was about halfway done when we first saw it...and get this ~ we were NOT interested in new construction. Ah, but love has a funny way of changing your mind. We fell in love with the floor plan, the neighborhood and the potential we had to make this home really ours!
We were able to "move some walls" to make some floor plan changes. Specifically, a larger archway from the entry to the, "then" dining room. Next we added windows in the kitchen, had the builder punch another archway/bar area into the living room and re-arrange cabinets. Since we did all this before the wiring, and plumbing was done..it was easy and did not cost any extra money.
I want to share with you the benefits of buying new construction. I never thought I would be in the market for new construction...but here I am 8 years later. And I'm quite happy! Hopefully you will enjoy my journey in creating our home, and maybe, it will inspire you to dream about your new home too.
Since Then...
Where do I begin. Let's go inside first. I think my wife has painted 1,000,000 times. And please note, all these changes have taken place over the last 8 years. We finished the basement, affectionately referred to as the "Man Den". Although the laundry room is down there...so guess who gets to do the laundry in the "Man Den". READ MORE
