This was the third time we've built our 'forever home.' Unfortunately, life sometimes throws a curve
ball at you. We bought this single-family lot early in 2020 & worked with Bowman Construction to
build what we thought was our 'as close to perfect as we can make it' last home. We took occupancy
in the Summer of 2021 & have enjoyed living here enormously. Let me tell you why we modified a
Buttercup 'side by side' plan to fit our needs & desires. Features we wanted were:
• Two bedrooms with two full baths; the second bedroom has private access to the second
bathroom. Master bath has a large shower, recirculating soaking tub with in-line heater,
enclosed toilet space, his & her sinks, & a custom closet system in the master closet.
• Custom tile in kitchen & baths, with remaining floors a top-quality Pergo laminate.
• Grand Crown in all but bathrooms; 5-1/2' baseboards throughout.
• Custom cabinetry by Chuck Palmer Cabinets with soft close drawers and doors.
• Two-car garage with 8' tall x 18' wide garage door for easy access.
• RV garage 16' tall x 18' wide x 64' long with 14' tall x 14' wide garage door & three storage
bumpouts; the garage easily fits a 45' coach with slideouts extended & has room for two
additional vehicles in front.
• Man Cave – 18' x 18' enclosed workshop in the back of the RV garage, with storage loft above.
• Minimal steps – One step up at the garage & front doors, plus short stairs from the grill deck.
• 36-inch entry & interior passage doors to allow easy access if mobility impaired.
• A Ring security system with the doorbell, four exterior camera/spotlights & window & door
sensors with professional monitoring & user control through a smartphone app.
• Garage door openers with backup batteries installed to preserve access during outages.
• A fully encapsulated crawl space to keep it clean and dry.
• A quiet high-efficiency Trane heat pump & gas furnace installed in the crawl space.
• The 'grill deck' is served by a hard-pipe service line from the gas distribution system.
• High-efficiency gas fireplace with remote, fan & backup batteries for operation during outages.
• High-efficiency Navien tankless water heater installed in the crawl space, with programmable
controller and hot-water recirculating loop for unlimited on-demand hot water.
• Multi-stage water filtration system for whole house, installed in the crawl space.
• Remote-operated ceiling fans in bedrooms, living room, front & rear porches.
• Sliding vinyl panels making the back porch a three-season haven.
• Six-zone irrigation system using metered water; Hunter programmable controller with
smartphone app & water-saving Rotator nozzles; designed for easy winterization.
If you want a quality-built home sized for easy maintenance by two, this might be the place for you.
