This post is a LOOOOOOONG time coming. I don’t even know how to put into words how thankful I am to write this post. You know how I’ve said flipping isn’t easy?? Or really just real estate investment in general. Well, this one right here proves it!
This was our first spec house…but this isn’t a “builder grade” house. This is a custom home with so many excellent qualities and design features. But man was it a pain in the butt. Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our control, this house took almost a year to complete. This was definitely the most frustrating experience we’ve had in real estate investment. We didn’t think we would ever see the end, but it’s finally here! It turned out amazing and that is because some of our most trusted, loyal contractors pulled through for us in the end! We truly appreciate everyone that stepped up and worked their butts off to get this finished. And thank you to the awesome couple who bought this home. They waited patiently as we finished things up and they love it as much as we do!! I hope they enjoy it for many years to come.
To my surprise closing day was actually bittersweet. I am so thankful to have it completed and sold, but I will kind of miss it… especially when I look at all these beautiful pictures. We’ve got a huge open floor plan. You walk in the front door and can see it all- the living room with vaulted ceilings, dining space, gorgeous kitchen and breakfast nook…that is if you can take your eyes off the whole back wall of windows overlooking the backyard. The living room features a floor to ceiling custom built ethanol burning fireplace. The kitchen offers a huge island, stainless steel appliances and elegant quartz countertops. The master suite is a peaceful retreat including an en suite bathroom with luxurious features from the custom tile shower to the inviting jetted tub. All bedrooms have walk-in closets and the laundry room is HUGE with plenty of room for folding and organizing. An extra storage room off the 2 car garage is ideal. The covered front and back porches are perfect for enjoying the summer evenings! Oh, man, I am getting a bit homesick (ha!). I better stop there as I could go on and on about this awesome house. I’ll let you enjoy the pictures now!
Even with this less than perfect experience, this won’t be our last spec house. Stay tuned…
