Is This Home? (Craeberne Forest)

So..we think we've found it. it's in a beautiful up and coming development called Craeberne Forest in New Bern, NC about 20 miles to Kris's work at MCAS Cherry Point. Close to schools, shopping, restaurants, beaches, etc. When we were looking for a house and we set a budget, we right away knew we weren't going to get EVERYTHING we wanted in a house..but we wanted to make sure we got close! In the end, it came down to a spacious 4 bedroom home..with ZERO yard space...or a 3 bedroom a bit smaller with a huge back yard. So of course the smaller one would mean sacrificing about 100 sq ft, our girl's sharing a room and our guests crashing in Jordan's room or in our living room...but it would also mean a beautiful screened in back porch in a great neighborhood close to school...and a great big back yard to play in! so yes, we chose the 3 bedroom. it is approximately 6 weeks until completion but I wanted to share some photos with you!

view of the back..they're finishing the screened in porch and then when they finish the house they'll lay sod :)

The drywall went up today :) I'd love to show you photos of that but I want to wait until it's a little more complete. There is a huge living room, combination kitchen/dining room, 2 regular bedrooms and a large master suite. and BTW...I have a jacuzzi tub in my bathroom that I may never get out of.. :)) 

I'll keep you all updated...I feel like Kris and I have made a great choice. For 3 years this will be our home and then when we move, it'll be a great rental property and investment for our future!  We've just started the ball rolling so we'll let you all know when it's official!
