New Build

Yesterday Britt and I signed a contract for a new build in the Ranches. Tyler and Aids can relate to that area. We had put an offer (with a condition to withdraw) on a house in Herriman but after walking through again we discovered it reminded us of a fish bowl. We needed to buy a new kitchen table due to the room being so freakin’ small. We needed to finish a large part of the basement in order to have a place for Emma’s toys. The yard wasn’t even big enough for Emma to play.

After telling Britt of my concerns we took a drive to Eagle Mountain and contacted the realtors of Prestige Homes. We talked to them a couple months back but we were unsure of whether we wanted to buy or just stay with renting. He took us through a house that had a great floor plan, spacious and was cheaper (before some upgrades) than the house in Herriman. We realize this new house is a little further away which necessitates a longer commute for school. It’s still worth it. Britt LOVES the house and I feel a lot better about the situation.

The neighborhood is loaded with kids and our house will be built between two larger homes. The house will have 4 bedrooms (all upstairs) and 2.5 (we are adding a half-bath next to the laundry room) baths. Britt will have her office and she decided to give each girl their own room. The unfinished basement has a rough-in for a full bath and room for a couple bedrooms in the future. My office will be finished after we move in. The approximate build time is 4 months.

Britt is giddy. Life is good. End of story.
