Nice... now it's time to give the exterior of the house some more color!

 

[ElFenix]

where is that at?

Color: Wife plans on doing MUCHO landscaping, she also wants to paint the trim black all around.

Location: Its in Gardner Ks, about 5-10 miles south of Overland Park, KS (Kansas city really). Its the very edge of Gardner, hence the fields n stuff

Could you PM me with the price you paid, if you dont mind?

Not trying to rain on your new house, but is there a reason they don't use brick? Or is it just the developer deciding against it. I'm assuming that is either vinyl siding or hardiplank.

PM? No. Here ya go.

Was right around 143,000K for the house. Its a larger model, base is 135,000. They have a slightly smaller model that bases at 128 or 9. We upgraded the windows (Hence the front clover leaf) moved master bedroom to front of house and added all the windows in the basement. The back side basement is normally just a wall. We had them do windows and a sliding glass door. Also upsized our lot a bit, the normal lot is slightly smaller.
Hope that helps.

Sounds nice, but the left side of the house looks lacking without any type of window or tree/oversized bush. Maybe a basketball goal? (j/k)

So, they built a subdivision in the middle of Field of Dreams?


Nice...congrats!

Nice house but siding would look soooo much better than the stuff thats on there. Whats with the "basement"? I'm used to having basements mostly underground and yours kinda looks like they just piled dirt in front to try to make it like a walk out basement in the rear. Landscaping will definately help

Congrats on the new house.

Yeah, like I said, wife is gonna landscape. Also plan on a fence and HELLA tropical plant things. I may try to get some pics of my wife's bosses backyard, thats what she wants hers like. Its craziness.

We've only been here like 2 months so havent had alot of time to do too much. But we got plans.

My parents house is a lot like this one except about half of the basement is above ground which makes for good times when it floods. :frown:

We have a basement / sub basement deal. The sub basement is your typical basement, its under ground. The basement is really just the first floor. Since its kinda a split level they pile the dirt on the front into the mound. It doesnt look bad, but its a pain in the ass to mow.

And yes, I hate split levels too. But it is my first house so.....

It looks like you live in the middle of nowhere.... there's your half-finished neighborhood, and then a LOT of open grass

Haha--spoken like a Texan. I used to live in Texas and just assumed that real houses would be built with bricks. Apparently, different exteriors prevail in different parts of the country. For example, most of the homes where I live now have concrete "stucco" exteriors. Even so-called "brick" homes may just have a brick veneer. The house we're buying in North Carolina have mostly vinyl siding, with some brick thrown on for looks.

I myself would prefer brick. What we have is simply what the builder uses, and its quite common in this area.
