welp, i'm probably going to make an offer on one of these 2 tomorrow or thursday.
both are 2100-ish sq ft colonials
i've seen the yellow one already.
it's almost done being built... which means i probably get to pick my colors for carpeting and counter tops and appliance allowances and such.
upstairs is dope. 4 bedrooms, all "Real size" not that stupid 8x8 3rd bedroom crap you usually find.
master suite is bad ass and is outright huge. i don't know the official dimensions, but its the entire area over the garage, plus about half way to the front door... so its basically the whole upper left side of the house and over the garage.
full master bath suite with stand up shower, separate jacuzzi tub, dual sinks, shitter, his and her closets.
2nd bedroom is equally bad ass on the other side of the house, pretty big, tray ceilings, walk in closet.
full bath upstairs hall, dual sinks, regular tub/shower combo, shitter, linen closet, etc...
there's a 3rd bedroom in the front that will be my office, and a 4th bedroom that i have no idea what to do with, but i'm sure i'll do something with it.... guest bedroom/ or some shit.
main level is kinda weird... there's really no living room or dining room.... 2 kinda tiny rooms in the front of the house. the stairs come down the middle and break it in half. its rather strange, but E and i talked about what we can do with it, and i think it will work out ok.... because the basement is finish-able, and will support a nice family room for the tv/entertaining and has a full slider walk out.
it also sits on 1.8 acres of land. we're not sure where to put the frige, or wtf they have in mind for the breakfast bar. i'm awaiting to see some official plans, and i won't make an offer without seeing them or the choices, etc, as i have no idea what they have in mind for the kitchen. its just sheetrock at this point.
the drawbacks are a stupid long crushed stone "driveway" (literally, its 1/5th of a mile long), rear lot so i have a 'front' neighbor... but its fenced, and its in kinda-walking distance to my parents house but thats not that big of a deal...
Remarks: new construction on rear lot, over 1 acre with privacy abounding, walk out basement lends itself well to finished rec room above grade.
no inside pics available... its all just sheetrock anyway... not much to see.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
the tan one, i'm going to look at tomorrow at high noon.
less land at .55 acres, and not in as good an area as the yellow one, but good enough IMO. it's also closer to the g/f
couple years old... built in 04
Remarks: Like new 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath colonial with a very open floor plan great for entertaining.Formal Living and Dinning room and a Great room from front to back w/a wood fireplace. Fenced in yard and good size deck. Game room with full bar in LL. owner/agent
both have central air, thermal windows, oil warm air heat, 2 bay garage, 2 1/2 baths
tan one is 15 grand cheaper, but really, it makes no difference to me at this price point... 15 grand is negotiating money, really.
i'll know more about the tan one tomorrow after i visit it.
but i think its going to be a toss up between these 2.
which do you like better?
