Back to the Golf Course

We met Chris and looked through a couple of houses at Eagle Glen over my lunch break today. One of them was the house we drove by the other day, which backs up to woods. The other one overlooks the first hole of the golf course.



The second one had a rather significant error in the listing, which indicated the master bedroom was on the main floor. It turns out it was on the upstairs floor with all the rest. Not a complete show-stopper; just not what we want. Then we discovered that the washer and dryer are in the basement. No deal. There was very little about it we liked actually, though the view out the back isn't bad.

The first one could contend. It would require a lot of work to get it where we'd be comfortable, and even then it would definitely be a compromise. We'd have to turn the office/bedroom into a closet to have the space we'd need. The screened in porch looks like it was supposed to be a three season room that was aborted, ultimately making it a terrible screened porch. Of course virtually all of the decor in every house we look at would have to go. Yuck! This one is no exception.

So....at the end of the day today we're still thinking build, depending on how much it's really going to cost, which we can't determine until we have plans from Nicole that are close. She supposedly has a rough draft ready for us. So we need to get that and go over it. Hopefully we'll soon be talking to the builder about it.
