The first home I built

My first time building a new house was many years ago.  My family stumbled upon a wonderful lot in what was then a construction zone called “Northfield” (my how things change!).  We built with one of Denver’s most popular builders, Parkwood Homes. I made spreadsheets to compare pricing on all the different upgrades.  I customized what I thought were my highest ROI – and favorite – upgrades.  I moved walls … and then I moved them back. At one point I was thinking about 15+ different customizations. My husband, in the most supportive way he could muster, said I could pick 3. It all came together perfectly, and I knew I’d stumbled upon something I loved.
