Interior Choices ...

We have made the following choices for the interior of the home ...

Kitchen:

We have chosen the Scottsdale Maple Square Espresso cabinets with the Crema Mascarello laminate countertops.  We considered the granite counter upgrade, but for the difference in price, we simply weren't "over the moon" about any of the choices and figured it would be an easy change to make later if we were no longer happy with the counters.

Bathrooms:  


All of the bathrooms, except the Master Bath, will have the Fairfield Square Wheat cabinets and included white counters. The Master Bath will have the Maple Square Espresso cabinets (same as the kitchen).  All bathrooms will have the Dal Tile Stratford Place Willow Branch tiles.  

Carpet Selection:


We have chosen the upgraded "Shell Island" carpeting throughout the second floor and the basement.

Main Level Flooring:

We decided to forego all of the hardwood and laminate choices presented to us by Ryan Homes.  They will be installing the base level carpet and resilient flooring on the main level and we will change that out in the very near future :)

Site Location and Bateman Floor Plan

Following an exciting new job opportunity and with a long enough move schedule to allow for a new home build, we settled on the Bateman floor plan with Ryan Homes.  We chose this model due to its adaptability for 5 bedrooms and its open floor plan on the first floor.

We were lucky enough to pick our lot at the opening of a new section within our community.  We chose Lot #45, which will have a great backyard and borders a wooded section and adjoining farmland.



The shape of our lot dictates that the original Bateman floor plan needs to be flipped to the other side, meaning that our garage will be on the left side of the home when viewing it from the street.  We have chosen to upgrade some of the features of the standard Bateman floor plan (including adding a 5th bedroom with adjoining bath, a finished basement with full bath, and a morning room off the kitchen).
