Upgrades

As mentioned previously, we only upgraded the things we felt we couldn't live without. At first the process was a little hard to part ways with somethings but as a wise person told me..."honey you only get what you need now and put what you want in later. Remember, everything you add is going to be included in the mortgage payments for 30 years. If you wait a year or two and do it yourself, your only paying for  that upgrade once."  When we looked at it that way it made it much easier to part with somethings.


Exterior
Elevation C with all siding: we chose this option only because  it provides a little more room in the loft and two bedrooms due to the extension.

Interior
Kitchen
The morning room ...reason I bought the house.
The gourmet island...a must have
Slightly upgrades cabinets

We kept the basic flooring because we plan to lay our own tile within a year or two.

Family room
Fireplace with slate surrounding.

Master bathroom
Upgraded master suite with double sinks, glass enclosed shower and garden tub.
We upgraded the bath to include a stone border around our shower and tub.

We received the appliance package including a refrigerator, washer, and dryer.

We added prewiring in both of the kids bedrooms for ceiling fans.

Guardian

I was very surprised with their fees and the fact that they wanted to lock us into a 60 month contract at practically $60 dollars a month. We got them to come down to 36 months but then decided the next day even that was too long and cancelled. We  decided to have a wireless system installed before we move in.

We did add prewire for my husbands stereo system in the family room an additional cable line for the loft area.
