New Build

It's been an expensive week here in the Sprague house-hold...between the electrical repairs and the new furnace, we also decided to put a significant deposit down on a new home to be built next year! Here she is!
About 10 days ago Dave and I drove through a small development of new builds in Adams Township (which is in Butler County near Cranberry Township & Seven Fields). We pulled over on the street to admire the great fall view - farms and rolling hills with trees of changing colors. We wandered into the S&A builder's community model and really liked what we saw. The sales agent Monica was really wonderful to talk to and gave us all kinds of pricing and print outs to look over.

Views from our lot

Later in the day we just couldn't contain our excitement and wanted to get some concrete pricing. We met with Monica again and walked away thrilled! We went home over the next week or so and talked about options and came to an agreement on price with the builders.

We chose a delayed delivery option where we don't have to start building until Halloween next year; we can choose to build sooner too. It takes between 4-5 months to build the house and close on it. This is the perfect option for us since we're aiming to sell our current home in the late winter / early spring and we have no idea who soon it will sell. We'll be living with family while the new house is being built so we can save up money.

The house is about 2300 sq. ft and a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath two story home. It's on an unbacked lot that's 1.33 acres. We're lot number 23 below (my lucky number!!)
The community is probably about 75% full with only half a dozen lots left. There are lots of families and it's part of the Mars school district which is an excellent district. To say we are excited is an understatement! Now we just need to pick out paint and cabinets and hardwood flooring and carpet and countertops and doors and lighting fixtures- yikes!
