 Most builders offer a variety of home plans for you to choose or alter, or have a draftsman that they work with to customize a plan to our specifications. A builder will inspect the lot or property that you choose to locate your home, or may have access to lots where they can receive discounts on lot purchases that can be incorporated into your project. Either way, grading costs of the property are an important consideration in the construction pricing. 

 Quality contractors use quality materials in the construction of the product, so when you ask to cut a price, consider that you may be cutting the quality of the home which will also affect the value.  Be aware of all allowances such as lighting fixtures, floor coverings, cabinetry as your choices affect your bottom line..  Its very easy to add a little here, a little more there, and then, at the end of the job, find that your allowances have exceeded your budget to a large degree.  Be sure to ask that your builder keeps you informed as to costs as you progress.   Also, be sure when shopping contractors, that you compare apples to apples with relation to materials, and services.

 Building your custom home should be a rewarding and satisfying process-ensure your satisfaction by using a knowledgeable contractor.  Ask for references, and tour homes that they have built.

Use a builder that lives and has developed their business in the area.  You will be happy with your finished home, one that you will cherish and that will increase in value each year of your enjoyment!

 When was the last time you went to the theatre? Were there scene changes throughout the play? Of course there were because naturally, the story unfolds not all at once, but by transition. If the entire story unfolded with every set change happening at the same time, there would be endless confusion. This same natural transition should take place in our homes. Every home is a stage and each room a new set. So let me ask you, when you watch a play and there are a lot of things taking place on the stage, can you see everything that is going on at the same time? Not likely, but any good director will focus your attention to the main characters so that even if there are other things taking place, your focus will be directed to the main focal points. According to a 2009 study by RESA (Real Estate Staging Association) homeowners that staged their house first, before placing it on the market, cut the time their house was listed by an average of 7 months, saving them over $14,700 worth of expenses after mortgage, utility expenses, etc. not including a potential mark-down. Each detail in the house contributes to the overall stage: color, lighting, texture, scale, balance and proportion. Every room in a home acts as another “set” that must work well with the previous “scene” in order to create a unified story. When staging a home to sell, the goal is to create continuity in order to direct the focus to the architecture and not to your personal belongings. So when there are too many elements competing for a buyer’s attention, too much clutter on the stage, this can create confusion and cause a potential buyer to focus more on the secondary elements of the play than the actual story that is being told. By eliminating some of the personal elements in your home, de-cluttering where necessary and marginalizing furnishings to be placed in a proper way, this will focus the buyer’s attention on the story being told throughout your home. Creating natural scene changes is the goal of Home Staging. This may mean a change in wall color, removing elements that lend towards a specific generational era or even eliminating ethnic and religious symbols. Buyers want to envision themselves living in a home so if your personal style shines through and there is a lot of clutter, they will not be able to see themselves living there. The architecture will be hidden by the distraction of your personal taste. Often, photos are the first impression a home buyer has of your house because this is what they are seeing on MLS so you should do everything you can to set your home apart from all the others you are competing with. If there are too many distractions, odds are good that some purging is due. Just remember this: Your favorite stories feature detailed elements that blend together cohesively! People are eclectic in style but just because you may like a variety of things, doesn’t mean that they should all be featured “on the stage” at the same time; that’s why there are scene changes in a play. Remember, context is everything.

Chef Cravey came to Lynchburg via Liberty University, recently having been honored as a head chef in Charleston, SC.. and together with his wife, Cynthia, they chose to offer the Underground Supper Club for local residents.  Utilizing fresh, local ingredients, Chef Cravey makes materpieces of unusual tastes and textures for his participants to enjoy.    Appetizers such as Fried Deviled Eggs nestled on Sweet Potato Straws, and Bison Chard with spring onions tempt your taste buds for the 5 additional courses to come.

The concept of the Supper Club is to enjoy the wonderful selections, as well as enjoy conversing with other surprise participants.  Everyone gets to know each other in the casual setting, and at the Culina‘s event, was able to watch as Chef Cravey put the finishing touches on each of his chosen courses.

The main entree of the night was Bison, from our own area Medford Bison Farm with Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes that melted in your mouth.  The addition of sauteed Kale provided the perfect accompaniment while the satifying sounds from diners told the story of how absolutely delicious the food was.

Chef Cravey has indeed found a niche in the area and the Lynchburg Underground Supper Club is a hit with everyone so far that has attended.   Other participating vendors offer their expertise such as table centerpieces by Dancing Leaf Florists consisting of broccoli, artichoke, carrots and beatiful cut flowers.  Dessert provided by Culina’s own Katharine Ledoux, who now offers specialty cakes for events-Saturday night’s cake was a chocolate  with chocolate ganoche that was so divine! And, coffee was provided by The Muse Coffee Company.

Other events have been offered at Auburnlea Farms-a wonderful creekside affair, Dinner/Movie Night at Legacy at Linden Park, The Raes at The Parlor Lofts penthouse, Valentines at The Lynchburg Art Club, and a fabulous menu at Terrace on the James for Mardi Gras!!

If you are looking for that one of a kind dining option, try to acquire an invitation.   Check out the website at http://www.lynchburgsupperclub.com, and don’t pass up the opportunity to attend.

A main level bedroom with walk-in closet could be used as the master, with hallway accessible full bath, and entry to a rear screen porch for savoring that morning cup of coffee.  The upper level also features a bedroom with full bath, while the lower level basement is finished with additional bedroom, den, laundry, half bath and additional storage closetry.

In keeping with the country styling, the semi-circular driveway also offers a separate parking area, both gravel, and a lot of 1.48 acre with wooded boundaries.  There is room for the addition of a garage or large garden and utility storage shed. The property is serviced with a well and septic, heatpump, and wood siding exterior.  Very unique and market value priced at $239,900!

The open floor plan features a vaulted ceiling with Great Room, Kitchen, Breakfast Area, and Formal Dining Room! Hardwood flooring, gas fireplace, recessed lighting, ceiling fans and double doors to the exterior rear deck are just a few of the eye catching amenities!  

The large master bedroom offers access to the rear deck, both his/her walk-in closets, master bathroom with whirlpool tub, walk-in shower, double bowl vanity, detailed with ceramic tile flooring and cultured marble countertop. Two additional bedrooms and full bath are on the opposite side of the home.

A main level laundry with washer/dryer connections also offers a laundry sink, storage closet and access to the full unfinished basement.  Create a workshop, finish a bedroom, bath and family room or just use it the lower level for storage.  A separate utility basement offers space for garden equipment.

This home would not be complete without the double car garage, and paved drive, so take advantage of low interest rates-a great buy at $294,900!
