Welcome to Our Home Building Journey!
Thank you for visiting our blog! We have spent several weeks exploring the blogs of our fellow Ryan Homes families who built beautiful houses. So, we decided to begin our own blog, with the hope that our experience will be helpful for future families that are building. We are also hoping that others will also share advice that will help us along this journey. We have already had several questions in the first week since we signed our revised contract! Luckily we have an awesome realtor that has been extremely generous with her time and input.
This is a first floor master plan. We concluded that the layout was very unique and something fun for us to try for the next (hopefully) 10 years or so. We considered the Dorsey Hall and Jefferson Square plans for a LONG time, but the Lincolnshire had the BEST basement layout for our needs and had interesting nooks and build options that we thought would give us a type of creatively styled home we had never lived in before. Plus, the morning room is the largest of the plans and the ceilings are 10 feet tall, which we loved! I will post pictures from the model home soon.
As we are beginning the selections process, we realize there are some trade-offs for the aforementioned benefits. Nevertheless, as long as they don't compromise the "feel" of the living areas of the home where we will spend most of our time, I'm ok with them!
So, enjoy our journey with us! We are truly excited and blessed to be able to share this experience with you all. This is our first time blogging and it will be a work in progress.
Welcome! What a beautiful home! I really love the exterior porch look on some of the floor plans.
ReplyDeleteWe have a realtor as well and he has been great throughout the building process. We have made all of our selections on our Naples and are waiting to break ground now!
Stop by our blog and visit!
Didn't realize the wife was typing at the same time. Ha
DeleteAwesome! Thank you for coming to my blog! I can't wait to check your blog out. This process is so exciting - I think it will be a lot less stressful once our selections are done. Looking forward to sharing each other's journey!
DeleteHello there and congrats. We're just a little ahead of you. We have our interior options picked but won't break ground for a month. Feel free to follow our blog too. Good luck!

Just came across your blog. Congrats. It will look great when it is all said and done.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! This is the first time I have seen the Lincolnshire. It looks great from the outside - LOVE the front porch!
ReplyDeleteWe are close to the same point in the build process if you want to check out our blog too! Good luck with everything!!! http://dunkirkdream.blogspot.com/
So exciting to find you! Such a beautiful home! First time I have heard of the Lincolnshire, but I'm loving the porch! Cannot wait to see it when it's finished. We are building the Ernest Hemingway model which seems to be as equally difficult to find. In a way it's disappointing, but in another it's somewhat thrilling to be different. :) I love how you said you are looking for a creatively styled home. That was our deciding factor as well. We wanted something that was out of the norm from what you would traditionally find around our area. Anyway, can't wait to follow your journey!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comments! I will look up the Ernest Hemingway model - I'm sure it's lovely and unique too! Where are you in the build process?
DeleteCongrats! We are looking at the Lincolnshire as well. In fact we have a pricing meeting set up tomorrow with the SR. There are no models close to us so we actually toured a new homeowner's house
