Hi! We are about to start building the Andonborough, but I can’t find any photos of it. Has anyone built this?

I have a few pictures of an Ansonborough in the later stages of construction. Someone on the Kensington Park Facebook page allowed us to walk through her house. If you'd like to see the pictures, I can send a link to the google drive folder to you. But, I don't want to go posting her house up all over the internet. If you send me a private message I'll share that link with you.

We have some land that we'd like to build the Ansonborough on. But, we don't plan to start building until mid-late 2019. Any photos you might put up along the way would be much appreciated! Best of luck.

I really like the floor plan. Be careful with kitchen table section, you will have a great deal of traffic going to the screnned in porch. I had considered a similar Frank Betz and thought about making the bedroom next to the kitchen a keeping room (open area to the kitchen, making more room for the dining table and also provide a seating area with chairs/loveseat/computer area/etc.). That would solve the traffic problem and would also also allow the other 1st floor bedroom to be larger. Could the upstair bonus room be made in to an additional bedroom is you need four bedrooms...all it needs is a closet and could share the upstairs bathroom.

Frank Betz Summerlake or Ansonborough - Anyone built? Thoughts/Input
Q
Comments (5)
My first impression of Summerlake is that this will be a very dark house. Covered porches keep direct sunlight from entering rooms; the only rooms in this house with good natural light are the master bedroom and front bedroom/study. The master bath is a very inefficient use of space. Upstairs, I would scrap the jack and jill bathroom and give it hallway access, so someone using the bonus room can use the bathroom without going through a bedroom. Ansonborough: do you need 3 garage stalls? Eliminating the single stall gives you windows in the kitchen, and takes the laundry room out of a traffic area. I am not a fan of angled hallways, nor the distance from kitchen to dining. The upstairs has the same bathroom issue - and the window in the smallest bedroom is ridiculously small. In both homes, laundry is far away from most bedrooms, which may not be a big deal, depending on the ages of your children. Neither home has a guest closet near the entry - even if you don't need winter coats, guests may have a raincoat or umbrella.

Hi Loni, I will get an email out to you shortly with the link.

Aglamon, no worries. I'm sure you are swamped. If you have time to post up a few pics during the process that'd be super cool.

We've got 5 acres in Fayetteville, GA (South of Atlanta). I don't anticipate starting to build until October 2019. We bought the land last October and are trying to pay it off before we start building. When you anticipate starting?

Awesome! We want to get started asap, waiting to hear back from our builder and trying to decide what changes we might want to make on the plan.

Hi Patrick, we are looking at building as well and the Ansonborough is on our short list. My wife really wants to see a completed/in-process home. Would you be willing to share the link one more time?

We made a few changes to our floor plan as well. We wanted to have the guest bedroom downstairs instead of upstairs and we both bedrooms upstairs to have nice walk in closets and bathrooms. We also did away with our breakfast area and made it an outdoor grilling area off of the back porch.

I’m so happy someone’s finally building this! I want to build it in a couple years, and I’ve scoured the internet many time for photos with no luck. I hope you love it (and post photos)!

Hey Patrick - I don’t know if you have your messaging feature enabled, but I, too, would LOVE to see the photos you have. Particularly after reading the other Ansonborough thread that only points out its flaws. I’m so in love with this house (and I’m sure my personal architect could help it be “better” if need be). My email is aquamsummers at gmail dot com. I’d appreciate it so much!!
