The 2008 Home Builders Association is Hosting the Parade of Homes in Ridge Water this weekend and next. They had a Realtor preview nite On Thursday the 16th. Now here's the thing, my life is BUSY! I worked Thursday 9-6 took a ten minute drive to the school to see my son play a soccer game which ran long then drove 30 minutes to get to Ridge Water. I arrived at 9pm. It was pitch black in the parking area and walking to the homes. I bypassed the homes and headed straight for the food (since I had nothing to eat so far). The food was by Cazbah's (forgive me if I misspelled it) and it was Wonderful!! Just a few things they had were Lobster Cigars, Lobster Ravioli, Bree with Raspberry Sauce, and Meatballs. The best part was the desert however....Homemade Chocolate Covered Cherries! They had other stuff too but to me these where the highlights :-)
The Tour that I took was a whirlwind. I had 30 minutes to see 4 Custom Homes, HUH! The first house had this....
NEXT TO THIS....
NOW that's outdoor living!!! WOW, the sounds of the water feature, the tile floor, the Fireplace. It is beautiful!!! The water feature was compact and would fit in some places that you may not think you had room. The rest of the house was beautiful but remember we are on a time schedule, 7.5 minutes per house. No time for dilly dallying!!
The next house had a great kitchen too but the one thing I want in this house is...
I have to have a TV in my bathroom and here is the perfect solution. Put it in a built in!! You can see it from the Shower and Garden Tub, turn it to see it in the Water Closet and Walk-in Closet. the other Nice Feature they had in this house was the Garage Entry Way....
Next! House #3 had the Best Bathroom and I am not sure if the pictures will do justice and the moldings/trim work throughout was phenomenal!!
Met the builder of this one. Nice guy!! Wish I had more time but one more house....
9:50 pm. The show ends at 10:00 pm and I am walking up to the last house. By the way, the houses are NOT very close together! It's a hike to get from one to another! The last house is dark! What?!? It's dark inside, the garage is open and lite, whoopee!! But the house is dark and no one is home. I missed the last house, how can this be? How can they be closed? I timed it, I worked the plan and I missed it.
Note to Realtors: I.E. if you say you will have your Open House 2-6 don't leave before 6! You may miss that one buyer that you needed to sell this one.
4 Houses, worth the drive to see them. Not sure of the prices but I think they are nice and have some great features! Thanks to the HBA for putting on this event for us! Visit me and my Crazy life anytime www.activerain.com/miacovelli04
