The house plan was perfect! …Great for entertainment and to enjoy after a long day at work…

In this week’s dream home success story, we hear from one of our previous clients, Ray from Statesville, North Carolinawho was kind enough to share his story about building our popular HPG-2755-1 – The Dogwood Lane house plan.

This home design fit Ray’s home needs as it includes 2,755 sq. ft of living space and features 4 large bedrooms, and 3.5 baths, all inside the attractive European/Southern architectural style.

Let’s hear what Ray M. has to say:

The house plan was perfect… Its really hard to just name a few features that I like about this home design, but my favorites are: the tray ceiling in the Dining and Master Bedroom; the porch in the back; the bedrooms being completely on the other side of the house from the master bedroom; and the large oversized garage with the workshop area.

When we purchased the plans, we wanted to find a contractor that would actually build the plans “to the letter” of the actual working drawings, so we asked the local building inspector for recommendations. We found a contractor from that recommendation, and the ball started rolling from there.

We made a few modifications to home, onsite, including moving the fireplace to better allow for the placement of a full video/audio center cabinet. We also screened-in the porch and made the fourth bedroom a little larger so as to serve as my wife’s scrap room. However, the largest modification was made on the bonus room, where we stick-built the roof to add an additional 1,500 sq ft which will include a full bath with a ~ 500 sq ft game room, 300 sq ft computer/media room, and a 700 sq ft home theater. This upper level is under construction as we speak and I can’t wait to get in there!

The porch was screen-in and the 4th bedroom was made larger to the wife’s scrap room. Bathroom was removed to add space. Also window was added to wall where no window appeared in plan to add sunlight. However the largest modification was done to the Bonus Room. The roof was was stick built to add an additional 1500 sq ft. that will include a full bath with a 500 s/f game room, 300 s/f computer/media room and a 700 sq ft Home theater. This upper level is a home project under construction as I write.

The home is great and a great layout. Great for entertainment and to enjoy after a long day at work.
