The Search Is Over!!!!!

WE FOUND IT!!!!!!!  At least I am 99.99% sure we found it!  Now if we can just make the timing work out to get the piece of property we want!!!

We have decided that we are going to go with the Harvard at Raspberry Hill.  (See previous posts).

It is beautiful.  I have already started making plans for how we are going to decorate it!  I am so excited!  They have a roughly 5 month build time, so it looks like we could be moving as early as August!

So, here is how it went.  Keith and I got up on Saturday and we went to see the DR Horton's behind our house.  They have a model of the Maroon there.  It was OK, not exactly it, but certainly do-able.  Then we went to the Lennar at Monarch Estates, and Keith wasn't really wild about that.  After going through it again, I realized that there was a lot that I wanted in a house that the Castle Peak just didn't have.  So then we drove down to Raspberry Hill.

The Harvard is pretty much exactly what we are looking for.  After combining all of the lists, we had 32 things that we wanted in a house.  The Harvard has 30 of them.  The only 2 things that it is missing is we had wanted a 3 car garage and there is only a 2 and 2/3 car (but they are giving us a $5000 credit towards the base price) and we had wanted a sitting room in the master.  We decided that those two things were easy to give up in leiu of the other things that we were getting.   YAY!!!!!  =)

Good for you! I hope it works out and you can get into it.

Did you list shrink a little with the "change of dependant location" that is going on? i.e. do you need one less bedroom, and did this make the house easier to find, or did you just keep that as a "study"

Actually it just meant that we don't hae to pay the money to have the living room turned into a study. We are going to use the 1st bedroom as a study/guest room (I think) and then the "living room which is fairly small, is going to be my sewing room. Kyle gets the largest of the 2 bedrooms. We were able to take 2 things of the list thanks to the change! I don'tknow if the house was easier to find because of it or not. I think we would have loved this house either way. Out of all of the ones that we looked at this was the one that we liked the best.
