So, we went to our local Home Show this past weekend and learned loads. We went last year and just kind of rinky dinked around, but it felt really great to go this year with legitimate questions and ideas of who we wanted to talk to and what we really truly wanted.
We spoke to 3 different builders to kind of get a feel for how much time it takes a home nowadays to go up, financing, and experience with the particular style we want. After looking at what seems like hundreds of home plans, we found one through David James Homes, a local builder here in the NRV, and we spent some time talking in detail to their representative about financing. Here it is in all it's glory... well the outside of it anyway, which will actually look NOTHING like this:
This plan may change 30,000 more times but currently we are smitten. :) Basically here is what we're looking at:
1st floor: 1401 sq ft, dining room, living room, kitchen which is open to brunch room and great room, full bath, 4th bedroom/study, garage
2nd floor: 1562 sq ft, master suite w/trey ceiling/walk in closet/separate shower and bath, two bedrooms w/walk in closets, full bath, laundry, and bonus room over garage
Unfinished basement: 1042 sq ft
They've actually just constructed this exact house (with some custom changes) here in The Burg in the craftsman style, and I literally could die. We went over and looked at the outside of it the other day... a family has just moved in, and I wish it had been us! :)
Here are some pictures from Facebook of that particular house. Bryan and I have literally already picked out the girls' room and where we want to put this and what we want to put there... heaven help up. There is so much to do before we even for sure choose this house and apply for permits... like get our current home ready to sell! MINOR DETAIL.
The weather, starting tomorrow through early part of next week, is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL... like 80 degrees on Friday BEAUTIFUL, so my plan is to get some much needed things done outside. There is tons to do, so hopefully Bryan is up to it! :)
