Comments (29)Thanks again everyone! Sorry I'm taking so long to get back to you, it was a long day at work! Those of you who are questioning the lot are right, there are other lots out there. We have already looked at a few neighborhoods but found that of all, we really like this one. We met a couple who live there and they were telling us about the rest of the neighborhood - how friendly everyone is, the HOA is active socially, that a fair # of residents were also retirees (as was this couple) but there are still younger families, etc. It just seemed like a welcoming and friendly place. We did meet people in a couple of other neighborhoods, but none seemed quite as friendly as the first one. The other thing is that it's a country club neighborhood (Cress Creek) with a golf course for my DH, a pool, etc. All in all, it was the best of several places we looked at and it is in a great location visually - on a hill looking out onto trees in all directions, etc. +++ But, my DH and I have been talking and we think that you all are probably right - it's time to look for another lot, despite how we feel about this one. It will be hard to let go and find something that we both like, but I think we'll keep looking. One thing we do not want is a "production builder" development - that's why we're looking at land so we can build what we want. +++ Casey - do you live in the Shepherdstown area? Do you have any recommendations for places to look? We've been working with a realtor, but it would be nice to have someone who doesn't have money in the game to give us some ideas for places to look at. +++ ILoveRed - no island and no table! I grew up with at table in the middle of the kitchen and do not want to do that again! Of course, I wouldn't have the tight aisles my parents have around their table, but still, it was/is an obstacle. No, I like a somewhat shallow but wide "U" with the Prep & Cooking Zones and then the Cleanup Zone in a straight row outside the "U", something like what we have now - it's proven to be very, very functional. I was originally toying with the idea of an "L" with an island, but the more I work with that idea, the more I keep coming back to the "U". I haven't quite given it up yet, but it's becoming less and less desirable. Different/bigger Pantry, though, and I'd arrange appliances a little differently....See MoreCharles
