The house

This is what our new house will look like. It is 3200 sq.ft. with 4 bedrooms 2.5 baths. There is a downstairs office, front and rear staircases, upstairs laundry room, two story family room and two story foyer and the master bedroom has a sitting room, jaccuzi and his and her walk in closets.

The front will be stone on the tower and garage with stucco on the other two areas. We are also putting copper roofing above the two bay windows.

We are running into a bit of a problem with the realtor/builder on which lot in the development we will be building on. We originally had a lot picked out and the contract signed, only to find out now that the house is too big for the lot :( So we put in for another lot, bigger and of course therefor more $, but now they're saying they don't want to sell us that lot, they want us to buy the lot next to the one we originally wanted. There's nothing wrong with the lot they want us to take, now it's just a matter of why the heck can't we buy the other one? So we'll see.

The development is just what I was looking for, smaller and within a 40min commute to work. There are 90 houses in the community, each sitting on a 1/3 acre. I really would have liked 1 acre or more, but when I saw the prices for that.... I couldn't afford to pitch a tent on it :)

To the right is a picture of our development. It has two entrances. We are currently looking at a lot on the upper left (view out to the mountains) or the bottom left (no view but large lot).
