Cawsey - Photos and Details of New Home in Carmel, Indiana

Friday, July 10, 2009 by estridge homes

In May, Estridge introduced three new home designs,Cawsey by Estridge - New Home Builders in Carmel, Indiana including two main level master homes, to the Meridian Collection in many Estridge new home neighborhoods. These 2-story homes all boast incredible architectural details and custom features, as they were designed by Greg Cradick, Estridge Custom Galleries Architect and architect of the Extreme Makeover home. 10’ ceilings throughout the main level, art and furniture niches, open designs, varied window sizing and distinctive window placement and much more combine with Estridge quality construction to create custom-feel with great value.

 

One of the designs - the gorgeous new Cawsey home - is under construction in Lincolnshire, an Estridge new home neighborhood in Carmel, Indiana. This main level master home features 10’ ceilings on the main level, accompanied by 6’ tall Andersen windows for an airy and sunny feel. Guests experience arched doorways, an art niche and a wide stair landing in the Guest Foyer creating a sophisticated feeling upon entry.

 

For the homeowners, day-to-day organization is encouraged with a family foyer off of the spacious 3-car side-load garage. A PDA Station provides a position for electronic devices while hiding the necessary charging equipment. Built-in coat hooks and storage cubes allow residents to conveniently store coats and shoes where they will be used without adding clutter. Most beneficial is that this foyer remains hidden from guests during entertaining.

New Home in Zionsville Indiana by Estridge

Thursday, June 18, 2009 by estridge homes

 

In May, we introduced three new home designs to the Meridian Collection in many Estridge new home neighborhoods. These 2-story homes all boast incredible architectural details and custom features, as they were designed by Greg Cradick, Estridge Custom Galleries Architect. 10’ ceilings throughout the main level, art and furniture niches, open designs, varied window sizing and distinctive window placement and much more combine with Estridge quality construction to create custom home designs with great investment value.

Distinctive architectural details make this home stand out from other new home construction. A sight line from the guest foyer through to the back door creates the illusion of even greater space, as does the close proximity of the two corner windows in the great room. Furniture niches, arches and distinctively sized windows provide design variation and smart placement of furniture. Great flexibility in this new home design also adds to the custom feel of this home - it provides opportunity for at least six bedrooms, as well as a large bonus room, master retreat area, and much more.

Tip #7 - Understand how your current house fits or doesn’t fit your lifestyle

Friday, June 5, 2009 by estridge homes

Building on Matt Borushko’s 6 Tips for Buying a New Home Builder, we provided 4 additional tips that will help you confidently build your dream home.


1.)               Have Representation

2.)               Don’t Overbuild

3.)               Prioritize Your Choices

4.)               Choose Location Wisely

5.)               Financing

6.)               Have Proper Expectations

7.)              Understand how your current house fits or doesn’t fit your lifestyle.

8.)              Know your comfortable investment range, not only your pre-approval amount.

9.)              Identify components of a quality new home and new home neighborhood.

10.)         Feel comfortable.


Tip #7, understand how your current house fits or doesn’t fit your lifestyle, is provided in greater detail below.


With a new home, you have the unique opportunity to design it to truly fit your family’s lifestyle, as well as include the features and style you desire. Taking the time to think through what you like and don’t like in your current house is a crucial step in determining the right design for your new home.


What do you enjoy about your current house? Is there an outdoor living area that you will especially miss when you make your move? Does your family cozy up to a fireplace in the winter? Is there a person in your household who would benefit from a private bath? Are you looking for private space through a main level master suite?  These are features and spaces you will want to include in the design of your new home in Indianapolis.


Consider each room, the popular traffic flow, areas you wish you utilized more often and what keeps you from doing so. Are there features that would help to keep you organized that are missing, like a family foyer with storage cubes and coat hooks? If you were able to interact with your family while you were cooking, would you do more of it?


Take the time to do your research. Review floorplans online. Walk a variety of resale homes and new homes from Indianapolis builders to see how homeowners use the space in their home and consider what would be helpful in yours. Most likely, there are ways in which space is being utilized or designed that you haven’t seen, but would find helpful (for example, the PDA Pantry in many Estridge new home designs).


Create a list of your new home design priorities (not only the style of the home) and reference these as you are shopping online or visiting a builder and reviewing home designs. Browse Estridge new home designs at www.estridge.com or visit Estridge model homes for ideas.

Reasons Why People Moving to New Homes

Wednesday, December 10, 2008 by estridge homes

With the media spotlight constantly on negative news in the economy and the real estate market I’m sure that some are thinking, “Why on Earth is anyone moving right now?” But they are. In fact, we welcome new homeowners to our Estridge communities every week. And more visit us every day to learn how they can build a new home. So why are these people moving? Fishers Home Builders - Oak Hall by Estridge

 

Below are a few of the reasons they chose to move that new homeowners have shared with us:

 

-   We outgrew our home and couldn’t wait any longer.

-   The interest rates are too good to pass up. We were able to build a larger home than we anticipated because the rate made our monthly payment lower.

-   We’ve wanted to move for a while and the Sold on Estridge Guarantee assured us that we won’t have two mortgages.

-   Our house is too big for us.

-   It’s the right time for me and my family.

-   We need a basement. Desperately.

-   We would like to be in a different school system before our kids start.

-   I am so tired of putting money in my old house – I want a new home that is designed just for me.

-   I’m getting divorced and need a different place to live.

-   My job is moving to Indianapolis.

-   We wanted to live in a neighborhood with more community and a playground for our kids to enjoy.

-   The Indianapolis Real Estate market isn’t like the rest of the country.

-   I simply want to move now.

 

We’ve know a lot of reasons that homeowners are moving. So, what’s your reason for a new home?
