We are going to drive down on the 20th, staying 10 days to narrow down which designer to build, and set a design date.
We don't want/need too big a home, nor go over $200K, so these are our current choices.
When we were there in April we never looked at anything but the Patio Villa, so we will now see these for first time, including the lot. By the way we will not have a home directly behind us so lanai should be kinda private.
Rear or lanai will face south
Bougainvilla, 2083' $184,700 or $132' like MBD in rear along with Kit.
Highest cost per ' ft.
Wisteria & Jasmine same just one is block built, 2228' 191,800/197,500 $122/$126 per sq. kit in front along with EIK but will be on the north side no morning sun??? W/D room takes a lot space.
Allamanda, 2227' 195,300 $126 per sq. the thing is it is poured concrete and it has a year round Fl room. Seeing so many enclosing their lanai with glass it makes us think this may be great feature.
Whispering Pine 2455', 198, 400 $116 per sq (the lowest) huge lanai, not sure of dining room location EIK nook and Kit look very open, the largest of these homes.
Anyone having gone through considering these or bought one of them your input would be appreciated.
