Moved into my new house (pics inside)

OMG
Extreme Beautiful House...all the details..BTW how many cars fits in the garage..4?

 

Very nice Jeff, you may need to let me in on a few of your secrets of being a successful .com R

Some interior shots would be great. What year was the home built?

 

+1..I would also like to know that secrets

 

+1 on secret also. Beautiful house mate. Of course we need interior shots and lots of them. I hope the payment on this bad boy won't force you to sell the toys. Hopefully you have left some room for your bad boy needs.

 

Nice home, congrats! Not so big as to be intimidating, not so showy it's ostentatious, very nice balance.

 

A perfect house with a huge garage. 10 by 10! Congrats

 

Dude, fireplace in the bathroom...thats the sign of a serious player.

Great looking house Jeff. One of the few that the 430 dosen't look out of place sitting in front of.

Did you guys stay in th N-ville area? I know that they are building those sorta houses down there. I'd love to live down there but work (mine and the wifes) keeps me in Macomb County (well the additional million or so dollars in house prices are a factor too).

BTW I've got that same ceiling fan in my house. Minka aire, right?

 

I envy you: being finished. Heartfelt congrats.

I'm starting on our second "new" house in four years. The current one proved to be way too big, so it's "downsizing" now, but a full-blown major remodel anyway.

 

You should hire someone to design your house. That house's potentiality is huge. You'll end up loving your house 1000* more and your wife will probably love you for it.

 

Is that even a word??

 

I couldn't even imagine building two houses in 4 years. Been in mine for about 2 years now and I am still getting over the ulcers and that was only on a 2800 sft house. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Final landscaping is going in in a few weeks, patio is done, hiring painting contractors at the end of the summer (builders paint sucks) then I can move onto the basement and finish off the furniture purchases. It never ends.

 

Nice house - I also really like all your furniture and the light fitting over the dining table.

 

Jeff, what kind of wood did you use for your floors? I love it.

 

Wow - VERY nice. I wouldn't even know what to do with 6K sq feet.

 

MAN! Congrats!! Beautiful house.
Lifes good Jeff, enjoy.

 

Beautiful. Congrats on your success.

 

Beautiful place. That is alot of sq. ft.

 

Nice house!

P.S Since you use bounty paper towels, I know you'll be fine.

 

nice enjoy it

 

Mama Mia dats a nice house!

 

WOW that is one amazing house!!! Talk about a dream house!

 

I was architect and GC for the house we're in now; my old building team members have gone their separate ways, and I'm just doing the plans and have found a good GC for the new one. Still, it's going to be a lot of work but more on the front end; I'm relieved that I won't have to micro-manage everything from day one to finish like I did on the present house.

This was something I swore never to do again; less than 3 yrs after moving here, I'm doing it again!

It's not an an unheard of scenario, though. During my career I saw four or five so instances of couples spending 2 years start-to-finish planning and building a $$$ custom house, then living there less than a year and for whatever reason deciding they didn't want it after all...usually because it was too big.

That was the situation with us...my wife wanted to live in her parents' house but was miserable almost from day one here...she's not used to living in and caring for anything nearly this big, and yes, there are ghosts of the past in longtime family homes. We lived in 1600 feet for 21 years previously and moving to a place 2X that size was a change that didn't work.

It doesn't bother me to leave here...the work involved and some azhole neighbors at the new loc are my only probs with moving. I like the new smaller cottage and its location much better than this place.
