[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same here. I loved my charming older home, until we had kids. 
We are relocating to a less expensive city, and I want a new home. I want double sinks, walk in closets, laundry located off the master, open concept family/kitchen, a mudroom off an attached garage...
Sign me up.[/quote]

Yup. Not huge, but not small, I love my 5BR 3.5BA home with a closet the size of a small bedroom with floor to cieling built ins.i too had a small shit shack and almost suffocated with baby #2 came along and couldn't move fast enough.

Just set up the deck and patio today and will enjoy my additional 1,000 sq feet of deck and patio.[/quote]

I'm thinking of  something like this.
Anyone care to guess what it's gonna cost to build? I'm wondering if I can do it under 400k....

OMG, all those kits look exactly like what's being built in Bethesda and Arlington right now: craftsman on steroids.[/quote]

Well that's all relative. On a 10,000 sq ft lot- sure, it looks huge. It will look very nice on 3-4 acres..[/quote]

That's a good starter home. Large lots are anti environmental[/quote]

That is still a large house.  Once you add the basement, which is not shown on the plans, you are talking about 5,500-6,000 sq ft or so.  That is about the same size as most of the new build craftsmen houses in this area.  If you bought this in McLean as a new build it was cost you $1.5-$1.8 million (including lot, permits, teardown, and new house) or so depending on how much you could get the lot for.  [/quote]

We are looking at a 2-3 acre lot for approx 100k[/quote]

Shouldn't you be posting in the WVSM (West Virginia Suburban Moms) forum then?  [/quote]

Silly rabbit, it's not WVA. Don't be a hater, now go sit quietly in traffic while the grown ups chat. [/quote]
