Wow, it is all going so fast!!! Our Jimmy Jacobs Custom Home is going to be “stunning”. We have had such fun watching our home take shape and checking on the details. It is so comforting to know we have a whole team working for us.
We finally put our present JJCH in Heritage Oaks on the market. We were trying to time it just right so we would not need to make two moves. I can not believe our good fortune. We listed our home through Brittany Murphy with the JJCH Move up Program. Alex Stross, Brittany’s talented husband, came to our home and took fantastic photos and made a video. Once the home was listed in MLS we had prospective buyers looking at our home everyday. Our home was on the market 12 days when we received an offer!!! To our delight, the offer was full price, cash; only request was to close in 30 days. That is not the kind of offer you turn down. Timing is everything; we wanted to accept the offer but did not want to move in to a rental. Again, Alex worked his magic and the buyers agreed to let us rent our home back until our new home is completed. That is just one more example of how hard the “team” has worked for us. We can not thank Brittany and Alex enough for all they are doing for us.
The cabinets, trim and beams are in and stained; the cedar ceiling in the study really gives it warmth; the paint turned out just as I envisioned; it is amazing how the Designer helps it all come together. Yesterday I observed the granite being installed and sealed; hiding the seams is a true art. I must admit, this was the first time Dave really saw the colors and he liked my choices, but the garage is still his favorite part of the house. We had concerns over the choice of stone and all the work of coordinating the stucco colors. But, it is perfect and I love the outside of our new home. The stone for inside was “dumped” in the great room and study this morning, what a shock. I am excited about looking in on it later today.
Our new home is to be completed the first of February, then the hard part; packing. Maybe we will be settled in before next Christmas……………
Happy Holidays to every one!!!
