You've seen the dirt, now here's the dream!

I guess we should probably post a few elevation drawings and the floor plan so you can see what we're working towards!

This plan only took our poor designer 54.5 hours to complete. The floor plan was pretty easy, it was the front elevation we struggled with. The initial drawings just didn't do it for us. It looked boring, and like something we've seen 1000 times in subdivisions in every city. 

See for yourself...
Boring! Plus we like a nice front entrance and this house just didn't have that. 

So we made some changes, added a front porch and are thrilled with how it looks on paper. Hopefully we'll be even more thrilled in real life!

Front Elevation

Left & Right Elevations


And our favourite part of the house...

Rear Elevation

Our house backs onto mature trees and the Little Ausauble River. I can imagine us sitting out on the back deck enjoying the view for hours and hours.

We are quite happy with the floor plan. We like the open concept with the kitchen, dining and great rooms. The great room has a cathedral ceiling that will one day have reclaimed beams and a rustic chandelier and cozy fireplace. Main floor laundry will be roughed-in, but it will actually be in the basement for now as mudroom space takes priority. The girls' bedrooms are the exact same size, so no fighting! A large walk-in shower and freestanding tub are also highlights for us! 

We know it's not the best quality... We'll work on it! :)
