We didn't even see the house and the "ole boy" said "I'll take it" after viewing the courtyard....Why did you buy your house?

[SALYBOW]

We bought the home because we had a a longer lot on which we could extend the lanai, the lanai faced east, and it was on a cul de sac.

bought ours because it was a corner lot, near my parents home...however, the sign we got when we made our decision was the flag pole erected on the property (sign from my Dad who recently passed away) and the bottle of St Brendans liquor in the refrigerator (the favorite libation of a family member) haha...and no regrets since!

Oh Jeanie. It is just beautiful. Elegant and warm and that riot of flowers and beautiful fountain!!!!

[pooh]

Large back yard with no houses behind ours, the model we wanted and actually, it was the only house we looked at. Only things it didn't have from our wish list was a golf cart garage....however it does have a larger garage than was standard for that model at the time.

We came down to "just look" and bought the 3rd house we saw! Large back yard, no neighbors in the back, hardwood floors, enclosed Lanai and a pool & hot tub w/ a birdcage. It's perfect and we close Thursday!

and you know the BEST is yet to come....Welcome to Paradise!

it was what we could afford

Visiting old friends. Bought same model as they had. Never even looked at the model homes.

I just loved the kitchen. I didn't see enough kitchen space in the CYV until I saw this one. I was hooked. Had to have a fence (I know, I've said it before). If there was a larger home with a fence we would have bought that one for sure but fencing is a top priority for us. So be it. Everyone has priorities and we're happy.

Same with us. Plus the house had the split floor plan, the wall behind which we wanted, stainless appliances and not too far from Sumter Landing. Do wish we had a golf cart garage.

Bought an expanded 3 car garage with a nice house attached.:MOJE_whot:

[Happinow]

To the OP.....your house has a wonderfully warm look to it. It is just lovely. We built our house and we love it! Golf course, no rear neighbors and a large pool.

[Barefoot]

We were powerless to resist buying a home. It was probably the chip they implanted in my neck when we visited the Sales Office. We bought our first home in TV because it backed on a golf course. Three years later we sold and bought something larger in the same Village, backing on the same golf course.

I needed a place to live and I didn't want to be homeless.

[TheCollierCpl]

It was an "offset" lot, so would take a house with many stretches and give a fair degree of privacy for not too large a lot premium. We joke and say we got a 48 cent postage stamp instead of a 41 cent stamp. We have the price of an interior lot with most of the benefits of a court lot. We love it and built a very very nice Begonia for a very reasonable price. Over 3,000 SF under roof!

I bought because of my Dad. We found ours riding around neighborhoods in the cart. The gentleman was just putting the sign in the window, our good luck. It was perfect for the family. 2 screen porches, great room w/ bedrooms on each side of the home for privacy from the parents! We wrote a contract on a paper bag, always wanted to do this (I have in the RE business for 37 years). The rest is history.
Now all we need is fall and we are back.

bought the lot for the eastern rear view of lake...

[ttown]

In 1988 met with a super salesman. Drove home asking each other , "What did we just do?". Turned out to be a good decision .

[RETIREDSFW]

Looked at houses online. Found the one with no neighbors behind it with open florida room overlooking a rear fence, pine trees & live oaks. Called the realtor & made appointment to come down to see it. Saw it twice the same day & called him that afternoon & put in an offer which was accepted. I downsized but it is perfect for me.

[Futurevillager2013]

The model we wanted, on a cul de sac backing to a villa wall. We wanted the privacy.

[patfla06]

It was the model we wanted with an eastern view of the lake.

[keithwand]

I like having neighbors behind us but then we do have a fairly deep lot and its staggered between the houses.

[Blessed2BNTV]

Barefoot we had the same chip placed inside of us.

Second trip to TV "just to look". Looked at new then found a resale and my husband saw a picture of Jesus in the garage and we both took it as a sign.

Love, love, love our home. Corner lot with an expanded 2 car garage plus golf cart garage.

Accepted an offer on home in Massachusetts - time is money. Massachusetts Closing Feb 22,2012, drive down, look at houses, put offer in on unbelievable deal and move in March 5, 2012? So instead of a 3 BR CV - we ended up with a 2BR/den ranch in Caroline (turnkey with cart) in a great neighborhood! And I no longer need to text my husband when he is on an upper floor!
