I love it! And exactly where you wanted to live! Perfect for you! So the home is already built as in the photo? Fantastic!

 

[WinniWoman]

Gosh- so you are moving in Sept. and I was just thinking how last year at that time you were in the midst of selling your other house and trying to buy into what will now be your ex's house. Funny how so much has happened and it has been one year already.

Actually in a different post I let you all know July 5 of the change in my life but it actually happened earlier. It took me a little over 7 weeks to get here.

I admire decisiveness and you sure fit the mold....

Congratulations Panina!

Your new house looks so nice. We have lived in Central Florida over 30 years and love it. Except for the Covid restrictions but hoping will be over soon. I had guessed the Villages because it sounded like the place you were describing. Glad you sold your Timeshares, to invest in things for your house. It will feel like a vacation place anyhow!
Delray Beach looks nice, we haven’t been there, but know people who love it there. Good Luck on your move.
Welcome to Florida

Can I assume that the photo is the model home? If so, is the one you would purchase already under construction or completed? I like the floor plan a lot. I’d make a couple of changes per my own preferences like no carpet. Amazed at how organized you are and how fast and amicably you have been able to move along! Impressive. Congrats!

The picture of the outside of the house I posted is the actual one. The link of the interior is a model. The one I purchased is almost complete, cannot make any changes but most is what I like. I too prefer no carpet, already looking how much to change the carpet out in the bedrooms will cost. The rest of the house is tiled.

Congratulations! Best wishes for happiness in your new home.

Which color collection is the one you got? Tile is good in Florida. Unless you get a cold winter. I hope its big tile though for less grout. You could do it later but then the tile might be discontinued by then. Inland is good too and new homes should have better building regulations for storms and flooding. Did you set out to find a community with homes built by Lennar?

Grey collection. I am going to change the carpet in the bedrooms before I move in. Have to decide on same tile, laminate or wood.

Lennar my last thought. I love my current Lennar home but it took me all these weeks to go look at their Website. I was looking on multiple listings.

Will you have the option to change out the floors before you move? Some friends moved into a new build in Maryland recently. Although the floors had not been installed they had to have the carpets installed. Then they had to pay to have the carpets removed and the hardwood floors they wanted installed. Seemed like a huge waste.

Personally, I would like all the same rather than have that break at the doors that might make the rooms look smaller. I’m not familiar with Lennar so wondered if you had lived in one before. I’ve been looking the last few days at homes in non touristy areas of Italy. Bored or what?

I love wood or laminate in bedrooms although ours are carpeted.

 

[WinniWoman]

We stayed with the carpet in the bedrooms because the builder wanted outrageous money to carry the wood into them. We figured we will keep it for now and then replace it down the road depending on how it wears. The carpet was included so we figured we paid for it so might as well use it. Same with the cream color wall paint. (And the same with our furniture from our other house which does not really go in this house. But again, making it work as not to waste money.)

It does grow on you after a while. Lol!

But we live in a cold climate so carpet can be nice under the feet. Much different than in Florida. I don’t think I’d want it there.

Congratulations and best wishes. Inland sound good - less worry about storms/hurricanes. I will take a view of the pond .

 

[Sugarcubesea]

@Panina, I’m so excited and happy for you. I’m glad you got exactly what you wanted.

I also believe that life takes you where you need to go.
So happy and excited for yu

I love this floor plan. It’s beautiful and I’m so very happy for you.

Which community in Delray? Our daughter-in-law's parents had a home in Delray. They invited us several times. We should have gone to visit.

 

[rickandcindy23]

Oh, well I just saw which community. I didn't look at every post yet.

With moving forward I initially asked myself why I stayed so long and how such a smart person like myself didn’t see what was right in front of me? Just a bit of my thoughts.


Sometimes to move forward it has to be more painful to stay then to go.



My poetic side came out....


A shiny package

I had found

Elated, my age, handsome

He seemed so sound



As time went on

I saw it all

The inner workings

Were rusty, shirking and stalled



What did I take

Why did I not look

He was so shiny

He just overtook



Forget the glimmer

Forget the old

I will find good inner workings

As it is what is gold.

I've always been drawn to the haunting lyrics of The Eagles' signature song "Desperado". One particular phrase echoes your sentiments:

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able

You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet.

When we're young, we look at what sparkles and shines, so the diamonds can mean someone with money, someone with good looks, someone who has it all going on--on the outside. The Eagles advise us to look within, to the heart. That's where the real person is--and the heart must sparkle and shine to make for the real and lasting life's companion.

I was lucky to have the lasting life’s companion who had a huge heart and always was emotionally with me. The Lord took him unexpectedly from me.

That’s one of my favorite songs.
