Noel and I made a BIG change in our new home this afternoon. It actually started a few days ago...
KB started building the home on lot 93, the only house between her parents house and ours. Its some massive two story home. There must've been some miscalculation, because they started building this mammoth house only 8 feet from the wall of our home. We weren't too happy about that.
Noel's father said something to our sales lady, Sabrina. She said that she had two other homes in the same community still available, but both were larger. Noel and I love the house we bought SO much, and were willing to stay, even though the neighbor was on top of us... but thought there would be no harm in looking at these other two homes.
The first we saw was awful. Ugly home with some poor design choices. The 2nd home hasn't been built yet. But much to our surprise, it is an amazing floor plan! We liked it... a lot.
But the home was much larger than ours. My father-in-law says if we want the house, he can negotiate KB to give it to us for only $10,000 more than what we agreed on for our home. Son of a gun... he was right.
Noel and I went in to Sabrina's office today to sign the paper work and switch our home to the new one. Kind of a whirl-wind weekend for us. But here are the details on the two homes:
Old 'new' home:
- 2,159 sq ft
- One story
- 4 bedroom
- 2 bath
- Expected Closing: Late August
New 'new' home:
- 2,855 sq ft
- Two stories
- 3 bedroom + Loft
- 2.5 bath
- Expected Closing: Late September
The new home also has a formal dining room! Something we didn't have in the other home. Oh... and the slab is laid out for the neighbor (one neighbor is already built), we are 20' from one neighbor and 3x further from the other. PLENTY of room.
I've switched the rendering on the left side of the blog to the new elevation. I'll try and post some images of the floor plan as well. And the name of the blog is new, too. Keep checking back to read more, and see more of our New 'new' home!
Everything you think you knew about our new home is wrong.
