Derrick and I were able to visit 9 homes in 3 hours on Sunday and these were big homes, so each one took a lot of poking around to get through them. We chose the ones closest to our apartment and I think the farthest from our apartment we got was about 5 miles and we didn't even hit them all. The new communities are usually nice and close and it made for a really fun date day! I see a lot of homes in my career, but Derrick and I haven't started any serious house hunting together so it's fun to walk through and daydream about what we like and what we don't like and what we'll only dream about affording one day.....i.e. million dollar house!
Here's a quick tour for you through the homes we got a chance to check out! The first one we checked out was completely adorable but of course I forgot pictures of the inside. It's in Kitt's Creek in Morrisville. It has a cool floorplan with two staircases. The back staircase led to a perfect guest room getaway! I loved the curb appeal of this one and it felt a lot larger inside then it looks from the outside. It's built by Lennar.
Next we hopped down further into Kitt's Creek and found this one literally less then a minute down the road. Built by Revolution Homes, this baby had six bedrooms and two bonus rooms!! I don't think Derrick and I will ever need that many rooms, but it would be perfect for a large family! The neighborhood has a pool and a playground too!
Check out the stone detail in the kitchen. White kitchens are so popular right now that I thought it was nice to see a gorgeous darker toned kitchen.
This one had my favorite closet, hands down! It was a total surprise and I'm pretty sure I screamed a little bit.
Derrick doesn't even know what to think about it. I think this was his face when I told him I'd have to buy more clothes to fill it up once we bought this house :)
Ooooo....here is one of my favorites of the tour. It's the Miracle home built by Terramor Homes. They came to our office and told us about it and I was excited to see it in person. They got donations for items throughout the house and when it sold, they donated money to the Duke Children's Hospital. If I remember correctly, they had raised $100,000.00 for the children's hospital.
Another little desk nook! It's only as wide as you see here. I think it's perfect!
Next, we headed up the road to a home built by Baker Residential of the Carolinas. The most stand out feature of this home was the eat in kitchen. The kitchen itself was very grand, but the eat-in portion of it could have fit a table that seats 20. It was huge!
Next it was on to the million dollar home. It was built by Wardson Construction and was as spectacular as you would expect at that price point! Look at this gorgeous ceiling! It had the best yard that we saw. I wish I had gotten a picture of it!
It had an adorable office. You can opt out of the built-ins and this can be a formal dining room if you prefer that, though there is a great eating area right next to the kitchen. I think this tour made me realize my over-the-top love of cute offices. Like mine would ever look that clean...
Last, but not least! we stopped by a townhouse built by M/I homes. This one felt detached, and actually Derrick and I didn't know it was attached until we took another look at it outside. It's only attached by the storage unit in the back. No living walls are connected to the neighboring house.
Can't get enough of these gorgeous kitchens!
