We Have Concrete !!!

 

Yesterday, on what was our 26th wedding anniversary, the concrete finishers poured our concrete slab for our future beach home. The house will be an approximately 2100 square foot, three bedroom, two and a half bath three gar garage home. This is the view looking into the garage from street view. Our future neighbors will be closer than we are used too but that the life of living in Florida communities, everyone wishes to live in paradise. 

Our Future Home and Pool Renderings

The house and pool design we chose are here, with one exception, we did not choose to add the second story to the home, having steps in retirement seemed like a bad idea. With mosquitoes basically being the largest nuisance in Florida, of course we chose to add the standard Florida " bird cage" over the outside living / pool areas. We also added an outdoor kitchen near the left side of the lanai.

We Finally Did It

 

Today, we revealed to anyone that knows us we placed a hefty deposit on our future home, located in Venice Florida. We took this photo on our .25 acre lot of Florida sand that will hold our dream beach home. This was a dream come true after nearly sixteen years of planning, dreaming and saving. We will one day retire here and live in a small 71 home community six miles from the Gulf of Mexico beaches. Projected finsih date will be July 2022. They plan to break ground this December.
