I cant speak about the Iris, but I will say if you are thinking about needing more space now(!!!!), make sure you get a lot that will allow you to expand as much as possible. Rather than bumping the garage out 4feet, why not just get a golf cart garage and make certain you have extra room (depth wise) in the golf cart. Some lots even allow for a 3 car garage!!

You are correct in thinking about storage space now before you build, but the best advice you can receive is to get rid of questionable items now rather than waiting until you get here in TV. One of the BIGGEST issues people have (even if they like their house) is No Golf Cart Garage or lack of storage. Other issues can be location, back to back lanais or they forget to include a needed option such as a bump out.

All is not lost if you dont include everything when you build but the most important thing (if you can afford it) is to buy a lot that will allow you options after you build. If you have the space you can always enclose or expand the lanai, birdcage area, add a bathroom or sitting room off the master bedroom, or even add a golf cart garage if not in the front of the house, in the rear with just a driveway leading to the new GC garage.

Options are unlimited as long as you have space time and money!!
