Building a Waverly

We have recently moved to Richmond and have been looking around to find a new home and finally on June 25th 2011 decided that we wanted to build a Ryan Waverly.
I had been looking at the other blogs and tried to read the blogs of other people building Ryan homes.
So I want to start this blog by thanking all the fellow bloggers for the blogs and pictures that helped us select the options we wanted for our house without getting crazy.

    Thanks Guys...

    Now I am just waiting for the construction to start.

    We are thinking of getting a Back Wet Bar in the basement with granite countertops.Our Sales rep told us that it is a new option for Waverly so we didnt have any pictures to see how it would look like.Did any of you guys think about getting a Wet Bar in the basement ??

    I really wanted to get a wet bar in the basement, but we had added so many upgrades that we did not end up getting it. I think that it would really be cool to entertain with. We plan to install one in our home at some point in time.

    Enna....we have added the new Wet Bar option. I have some pictures of what it would look like from a new Ravenna model. At the bottom of this post there are 3 pictures of it

    The beverage center model that they included initially with ours is really bad...not even close to what they have in the models...more like a college door refrigerator. In this link I have a link to the beverage center we changed to which is what they have in the model home in our development

    I also added a post showing pictures of the wet bar in the new Bainbridge Hall model in our development

    Hope this helps...

    Thanks BD ,this really helps.The Bar looks great and so does the Beverage Center.

    I am gonna confirm with our Sales Rep if this is the Bar we will be getting with Waverly as well.Initially she told us that we will be getting a dish washer and garbage disposal in the Bar area too but now she says that we will just get a Beverage Center : ( thats why we decided just to get the Back bar and if we need it later complete the Bar with a dishwasher.

    I love our sales rep ,she is nice but she represents Ryan and not us ....

    When I spoke to them last week, They had 9,10,22,23,24. Except for 22, everything else will have front garage. We drove around the lot yesterday and found home of the month specical in one of the lots. Not sure why they mentioned like that.

    Hey BSV, I"ll be really be curious and careful before choosing that 'home of the month '- lot why are they pushing one lot...when they have so many other available

    Enna,

    Congratulations on your recent closing. Ryan homes and us couldn't come to an agreement so we put house hunt on hold for while. With all things that were happening around, I totally forgot your blog and I was off track for a while. We are again thinking of considering Ryan Homes. Our realtor told us that they currently running some good incentives. We will check back with them and let you know if we decide on anything.
