In April 2010 Theo and I decided to finally end our home search of 1.5 years when we chose to purchase a new construction home in the Town of Wallkill. Ever since we "signed on the line" our journey has been exciting. The development is going to have 45 houses (it is broken down in phases 1, 2, and 3). The houses are being built 15 at a time. We are in phase 2. Now it wasn't my first choice to go to phase 2 but when we saw the sight plan for the development we found the lot we just had to have! See, we went into the home buying process with a rather short wish list and ended up with an ever-growing one. One of the most important things to us was to be part of a community where we could walk on the sidewalks and talk with people but still maintain some level of privacy in our daily lives. So.................out from the site plan pages jumped what is known as LOT 15! Lot 15 will be the future home for our family of two plus two cats. Lot 15 is secluded at the end of a cul-de-sac in the back of the development. We will have a neighbor on one side and woods on the other. Wow! We were very blessed to find this lot.
Phase 2 is a few months behind phase 1 so we have to wait longer for our home but as we wait our piggy bank will (hopefully) grow too. As first time home buyers I have to tell you that was the biggest check we ever wrote! Scary.
