It is Official

Hi everyone! My name is Stephanie Flerchinger and I am deaf. I am new at this blog thing. I stumbled across Ryan home blog and have been following up on it for a while here and wanted to join but wanted to wait till I found out whether or not we were approved by NVR mortgage company for Ryan homes. As of today we are! Whoo hoo. I am new to Ohio we the Flerchingers moved here a few months ago from California. I grew in Cali and all of my family are from there. We moved due to my husbands job. First he moved up here back in November of 2010 then I joined him up here in January of 2011 due to my job.

For a while there we were looking at buying a home but none of the houses were to our satisfaction until I accidentally stumbled across an MLS listing from our Realtor's list of housing. There was an ad for a Venice home a house that was build by Ryan homes for the price of 229k. We decided to check out the model and just fell in love with it. The house is perfect for the three of us meaning me, my husband and our 17 month old daughter Abby.

We live in Beavercreek Ohio and will be building a home at the Preserves of Spring Ridge at Beavercreek Township which is not very far from where we currently live.

With that price range we were able to get a 4 bedroom house with 2 full bathrooms with 2 half baths. A partial brick front with siding, full finished basement with half bath, morning room with windows on the side, granite countertops, 42 inch Fairfield maple spice cabinets, upgraded owners soaking bath tub separate showers, standard 10 by 12 deck, uba-tuba marble fireplace, and a gourmet island. All of this sounded like a great deal to me compared to buying an older home for about the same price.

I am beyond excited and cannot believe that we will be building a house of our dreams. I will post pictures later of what samples I have chosen for our countertops, flooring, and carpet colors.

  5. Thank you everyone! I am soooo excited. I am new with the blogging process. I think I got the pictures sorted out. I sooo enjoyed reading all of your blogs. I am curious on the electrical specification question do any of you have a 200 AMP? I was suggested to get one. I know the house comes with a 150. Are you satisfied with the 150? Am in need of advice on whether to upgrade to 200?

  7. Welcome to our not so little blogging family. Your blog makes #39 on my blog list. It is still hard to believe that a little over a year ago ThrifyAmy started the first blog and we are now fast approaching 50 and ThrifyAmy is fast approaching 1 year in her new home.

  8. For the size of your home the 150amp is just fine, but it is never a bad thing to upgrade to a 200amp box. That will insure that you will have expansion room if you ever need it. What you might want to ask is how close you are to using up the 150amp box or how much room do you have for expansion. It would also depend on if your major appliances are electric or gas. You are already finishing your basement which is often where people get burned...ie they only have a 150amp box and when they go to finish the basement they don't have room for the additional circuits/power requirments.

  11. Congratulation on your new home. I didn't know that new home comes with built-in deck..Our home comes with 200amp. But i guess 150amp should be enough (unless you want to buy a plug-in electric car..)
