Stanton Estates

There’s still nothing but dirt for our future home, but there is now a “sold” sign! Jones Homes USA had delayed showing this, because our lot is far away from their current construction zone and they hadn’t wanted to encourage other buyers to this part of the development.

We chose this particular lot because it’s 15′ longer than some other lots, and we need that extra length to fit a pool/patio. The new home is mostly on one level and so has a big footprint, very long front to back; the development also requires that construction be set back a long way from the road and so once we’ve also added a pool/patio at the back, we’ve used up almost every foot of the long lot!

 

So far, there’s nothing at our future home lot except dirt, a lone tree, and the fence at the back of the development! There’s only a few lots even begun, on the opposite side of the development – it’s all very sparse for now!

When we bought our current Lennar Independence home, our design choices were very limited: one of three exterior color styles, a couple of almost identical kitchen colors, and whether or not to pick the upgraded appliance/carpet/tile package. Even the “shape” (garage side, etc) had already been decided.

But for our next home, Jones Homes USA has provided us with a nearly unlimited amount of choice – quite overwhelming! Not only did we get to choose the home design, and the lot, but nearly everything within the home, even switching one bathroom from tub to walk-in shower. We’ve now spent a total of 15 hours at their design center in two visits, but we’re finally happy and pleased with all that we’ve picked!

Here’s a collage of some of our final choices – hints of a future some months away …
