We met with Fischer to look at several house plans. We toured the Salem, Whitman, Columbia and Chase.
The Chase reminded me of a ranch where the living room, kitchen and dining room were all in one. The upstairs was HUGE. It’s a very nice 4 bedroom; we just didn’t care for the 1st floor layout. We toured a Columbia that is currently for sale. It’s a beautiful home, however we were told they have changed the floor plan to remove about 100 sq ft from the 2nd floor.
The Salem and Whitman are very comparable homes. The Salem has a formal living room and dining room right as enter the front door. In the Whitman you enter a foyer which leads you to the other rooms. Both houses are 4-bdrm and each has a nice size closet (walk-in’s!) The Salem did have a strange cabinet on the 2nd floor in the hallway in place of a hall closet.We decided to build a Whitman!!
We signed our contract a week ago. The process is going rather quick over the next few weeks. We will make three visits to the Fischer Homes Design Center. The first was to walk around and look at all of the available options (cabinets, flooring, etc). Our second trip will be next week and we will have a design associate dedicated to helping us pick out our options. The third and final trip will be to sign off on all of our choices.
On Saturday we made our first trip to the Design Center. It is very organized and Fischer makes this a fun and enjoyable experience (right down to fresh baked cookies!). The associates were knowledgeable and willing to help answer any questions. We were there for about two hours and have a pretty good idea of what all of our options will be. Of course, everything could change when we go back next week and actually walk around with a designer.
We also have our site walk this week, and our meeting with our mortgage company. I’ll have more updates after this week!
