HPG-1876-1: The Woodstone Cove

After looking at hundreds of floor plans at various different sites we finally narrowed our search down to one floor plan at HousePlanGallery.com. The plan HPG-1800B-1 met all our needs and was very easy and affordable to modify with some minor changes.

Some of the small modifications we made were to expand the size of the house from 1800 sq ft to 2117 sq ft. We also used inner French doors entering the dining room and added a half-bath underneath the bonus room stairwell. We also rearranged the master bath slightly.

There are so many features that we love about this home but a few of our favorites include the room locations, the extra space gained with the bonus room, and the overall look of the exterior. We found a beautiful piece of property located in a pecan orchard that would work well for this particular home design, and we used a reputable local builder and started building November of last year. It took us a little over four months to complete this house, finishing in the second week of march.

We enjoyed watching the different stages of the home being completed, and although we had some doubts that some things might not turn out right, the finished home exceeded our expectations.

This is a great floor plan and everyone that has visited our home has loved it!

We received our plans and were completely satisfied with them. Had no trouble whatsoever getting the approved by the City. Was treated cordially and professionally throughout the whole process. Thanks!

Home is where the heart is. And that is exactly what went into building our house. Our whole heart.

Two years ago, my husband and I married and began our new life together. We soon felt the desire to begin a family and knew that our "bachelor pad-turned-newlywed" home would not provide the space or safety we needed.

We began looking at homes to buy, but realized quickly that nothing fit our needs. My husband and I bought a lot in a wonderful, safe neighborhood and began formulating ideas what our new home would look like, have in it, etc.

A friend told me about House Plan Gallery and we went online to check it out. Boy, am I glad we did.

After looking at numerous floor plans, we found the "one". This house plan had everything we needed and envisioned in a "dream home". During the building process, we enjoyed every minute of it. We built it with our heart and so much love went into it. We built this home with our future in mind.

We imagined special things like bringing our first child home, seeing their first steps, having Thanksgiving with family, putting up a Christmas tree, and countless movie nights in this house. I hear horror stories of people building houses and getting stressed out. With us, it was so reassuring that House Plan Gallery provided everything in the plans for our contractor and all we had to worry about was details.

Now that the house is finished, we love having friends and family over to entertain. We get so many compliments almost daily about every aspect of our home. It has now been two months since we moved in and we still just sit back and say to each other, "Wow, I cannot believe this is our home".

Needless to say, we are thrilled and feel blessed beyond belief. This is an exciting time in our lives and now that we are settled into our new home, we cannot wait to see what else God has in store for us.

I had a chance to get something that I wanted, so I took it, and so far it has been the best thing I've ever done.

It took us two years of planning, my wife and i must have gone over 3,000 house plans before we found the HPG-1638-1. We just "had to love it" because this house was going to be the first and last house we build.

Some of my favorite features in the home include the big windows in the front of the house, the big garage, and the wonderful living room.

I started building my home on January 8th, 2009, right around the time when I left for Iraq for the 2nd time. It took me a long time to get all of the paper work in line, just due to being in iraq, and well as you can guess, building a house was not fun from 6,000 miles away but my wife was up to the challenge.

I did a lot of the building myself on R&R's from Iraq, just to save on some money and to be able to say that I helped build my home. The house is not yet done, but we should be moving into the house in about 6 weeks when i get back from Iraq, and my family can't wait for it.

Building this house really brought my family together and we've become much closer. I have recommended House Plan Gallery to some friends, who have also got plans from them, and will be starting to build soon. I will recommend the guys at HousePlanGallery.com to anyone that wants to build their dream home....

I would guess that my husband and I looked at about 50 different house plan books over the course of two years, and could never quite find what we was looking for. We were looking for something that was open and didn't have ANY wasted space.

I was briefly searching the internet one day and I just happened to come across a house plan that was absolutely perfect. It was actually the first house plan that I had ever seen that I didn't have to make changes on. It had the open living room and kitchen that we were looking for and wasn't full of hall ways, which is wasted space for us.

We are so incredibly happy with our home and wouldn't have changed a thing!

Thank you House Plan Gallery!
