The House Plans

John and I fell in love with a model home in Washington Twp. And it's perfect because John really wanted a ranch. We spoke with the architect and he said he would sell us the house plans! We will be adding 2 feet to the width of the house and making the garage a 4-car garage but it is basically the same.

Here are some pictures to get an idea of our house...

Oh, and this following picture is one of the many reasons we fell in love with this house...

That will be our future dining room!!

The Lot

So John and I have been looking for a lot for well over a year. We have exhausted listings on the internet, finding a realtor and had no luck. We then we started using GoogleEarth (and short car rides) to scout out local vacant pieces of land that were not for sale. We spent our Christmas break writing letters to owners of local vacant lots in hopes of buying. Eventually we were able to convince one sweet old man to sell to us and we finally got a vacant lot!!

So now John and I will be closing on our lot this week!

About our lot...

• Located in Troy
• Just under and acre 
• 100 X 350 (yeah, that is a huge backyard!)
• No homeowner's association
• Perfect place to store our camper, jetski trailer, car trailer and various vehicles we own!!
