The homesites were released and they were terrible, backyards small and looked at a berm. Just too close. My other half didn’t like any of them and neither did I.
We ended up getting a home that was already built by the builder and was just released a few days prior. Only a 2 car garage but had a full walk out basement that is level when you walk out facing beautiful private woods never to be built on. Price was great so even though my other half didn’t want to move he ultimately decided it was priced too good not to get it. Basement like the one we got is like finding a needle in a haystack where we live, most homes are on slabs. This basement had 9 foot ceilings and a sliding door and 5 windows.
The down side was I didn’t get to pick any of my colors. Even though not one selection was in the house I would have picked surprisingly it was done beautifully and We both liked the look.
I also had to agree if he wasn’t happy a year from now we would move again. The only problem is that two car garage. I just read about a garage condo that is in my area. I know they are big in Florida. It just might be my answer to happiness for both of us. Another option would be a car lift as the garage ceilings are high.
I should be in by November. Just finished getting my house ready for sale, did it in record time about a week. Lots of work, more to come but I am extremely happy that I am moving to a great place. It is a hidden gem.
Now I have to figure out what to do with all my vacations I had planned this year. Next week will call the resorts to see if they can rent them. If not I will just deposit for future trades. We both agree we shouldn’t go. Sad as I was going for 4 week to Key West and 2 in Marco Island.
