Charlottesville New Construction: Ken and Dawn's Dream Home is finished!

Despite my good intentions, I have fallen way behind in keeping you up on the progress on Ken and Dawn's dream home. The house is now DONE and they moved in Mother's Day weekend.  It was a great project and a great process.  I am excited for their family.  

Here is a slideshow of the home build from sheetrock to settlement.   I know Ken and Dawn have added some personal touches in the meantime - custom paint and the backsplash in their fabulous kitchen - for example.  Can't wait to see the house again.

Charlottesville New Construction: the frame rises!

The first floor of this Northern Albemarle home is framed and the second floor is going up today.  

My clients, Dawn and Ken, visit the site daily: it's exciting to see the house rise out of the ground.  We're all espcially delighted with the siting of the house on the lot and the final grading/shape of the yard: it is even better than imagined!

Charlottesville New Construction: digging a hole!

Dawn and Ken's dream home is moving apace: the lot has been graded, a few trees removed and the foundation was dug when I was up there at 8am this morning.  I heard a rumor concrete was going to be poured today, so I'll check back in on the site soon.  

In the meantime, Dawn and Ken were making Kitchen selections today: surely one of the most fun parts of building a house!  I cannot wait to see what they chose.

Charlottesville New Construction: Ken and Dawn's Dream Home is underway!

I am really excited to be helping Ken and Dawn and their 3 boys build their dream home.  

I started working with this sweet couple in early fall and we looked at quite a few resale homes over the course of several months, even making an offer on one older home, before deciding to build.  

Like all first time home buyers, Ken and Dawn are on a budget, but we were lucky to find a great lot, very well priced, for sale just a few miles from where Ken works and in one of their target school districts!  

The final piece of the puzzle was selecting Piedmont Realty and Construction to build the home.  Dawn and Ken had heard about Piedmont, had seen their homes online and were very impressed with their product.  Drew Holzwarth, Piedmont's principal, was able to offer us the floor plan they wanted, with some great standard features and even quite a few desired upgrades, at a surprisingly affordable price.

The lot is a beautiful 2 acre parcel in a quiet Northern Albemarle subdivision.  The home building process so far has been extremely smooth, efficient and enjoyable.  Drew and his team - Greg Slater of Real Estate III,  and Jodi and Brandon of Piedmont - have been super. Ground breaking tomorrow or early next week!  

Here are some photos from the contract signing, our pre-build meetings and of the lot we will be building on!

As an aside, these two young parents, both military veterans, have really impressed all us older folks with their parenting skills: I have never met 3 more well behaved, polite and cheerful children !
