For those of you who aren't aware, Andy, Carter and I are planning on building a home soon. We've always had ideas in mind (I refuse to move into a new home that doesn't have an island!), and always said, "some day." After patience (I know! Me? Patient?!?), our "some day" is quickly approaching.
We met with Chad Stutzman this afternoon (www.stutzmanbuilders.com). He used to work with Andy at Principal, but quit to do construction full time. He'd sent us some ideas and options, and we talked about options and our preferences. He quoted us a price, and told us to go home and think of colors (COLORS!!!), and come back next week to get things underway.
We're thinking of a two-story home with a three-car garage. It has one "open-aired" kitchen/dinette/cozy area that leads into a living room. And we're thinking of making the formal dining room Carter's playroom! Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a walk-in closet in our room.
I can barely stand myself! I can't wait for next week! Let's get this thing going!!!
Our lot, or the one we love. Note: it backs to a field and you can see no other house or existing building! And Target is 8 miles away!
Bring on the selling!!!
Know anyone interested in a "cute and cozy" 1974 split-level foyer on 9th street???
