You’re right, it is a “BLOG - DO NOT” to strictly market yourself.  However, we are proud of our latest endeavor, so I’ll share it with you!

We sold our newest model while it was under construction and can only show it for one weekend, hence this will be your “First and Last Chance” to tour.  This weekend only, Saturday & Sunday, June 20-21 the Edgewood will be available to tour from 12 - 5 pm.  Refreshments will be served!

Our Edgewood model was designed specifically for Nature’s Crossing.  It has been an extremely popular 2 story home for many families.  After careful consideration, research and interviews with current Edgewood Homeowners, we re-designed this home and are very proud of the new look. 

In addition, given the current market conditions, we wanted to offer this home for under $500,000.  And we did it!  At $499,800, this home is loaded with all the right luxuries.  A very functional front porch with a 2nd entrance for children directly into the Mud Room! Alder woodwork & cabinetry, granite countertops, pre-finished Cumaru hardwood floors, a  private master suite, with large tile walk in shower, a fantastic Bonus Room, upper level laundry… the list really does go on. 

Of course, as with all our homes in Nature’s Crossing, the Edgewood is designed with true Architectural style, Andersen windows, James Hardie fiber cement siding, a great landscape package and direct access to the 5000 acre Elm Creek Park Reserve!  Fit us in to your weekend plans - you’ll be glad you did!

“Outdoor Spaces” are becoming more and more popular.  They range from simple to luxurious and can be anywhere in between.  Homeowners retreat to these spaces for relaxation, entertainment or just fun family time!  These spaces vary in design and can consist of one or all of the following:

* water fountains & features
* outdoor kitchens
* outdoor bars
* covered courtyards
* landscape features
* fireplaces or wood burning ovens

The list of design features really is endless.  Typically the flooring is designed with pavers or stamped concrete, but can just simply be a concrete patio.  Some prefer a completely covered courtyard, others prefer a pergola or no covering at all.  You can incorporate your outdoor space off a screened or four season porch, or off indoor spaces.

If you love spending time outdoors, this is money well spent.  Whether your budget is small or off the charts, there are ways to design and construct the space to meet your needs.  It can be done in phases over several years, or all at once.  If you are ready to add this space to your home, do some internet research, talk to a contractor or landscaper and move forward with your design.   If you live in Minnesota, Hurry!  We all know our summers don’t last forever!
