New House News...





I have been dying to share our news but we had to wait until the stars were aligned so to speak. We are building a house! We are all so excited. It will be so nice to have the extra space and a little more privacy. Lots of closet space and a play room for the kids and a guest bedroom, until we separate the twins anyway. It is right at 2500 sq. ft. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, a huge familyroom, a kitchen and dining room that is open to the familyroom, a playroom on another level and a full basement and separate garage. The house is multi-leveled and hard to explain without seeing it. I have never seen another floorplan like it. The master bedroom and bath are on it's own level as is the playroom(they call it a bonus room). I am posting a few pics of the progress so far. We hope to be moving in by the end of September or first of October. The only downside that I can see is keeping it clean!!! That is alot more house than I am used to and all those bathrooms!! I can't keep 1800 sq. feet clean right now!!

The house sounds wonderful!! It will likely be easier to keep things clean when you have more room. I think the biggest challenge in any house is having a place to put everything and keeping it organized. I am so excited for you guys, can't wait to watch things progress too!

What wonderful news! The house sounds fabulous. We had a 1200 aq ft duplex in MA, then moved to 3600 sq feet here, and I've decided that my next house will be right around 2500 sq ft. It seems like the perfect amount of space for a family.....room to move around, but not so much room that there is a lot of unused space. And storage....one of the best aspects of a home. Hope you have many happy memories to come in your new home.

I LOVE your home. I agree with the pp's. We moved from a 1400 sq ft house to a home with 2700 sq ft. It is MUCH easier to keep clean (except there are more bathrooms, lol)

The only thing you have to watch out for is not buying more stuff to fill in the bigger space that you will have. Our rule is one thing in, one thing out.

CONGRATS!!
