I believe Unixed isn’t talking about buying the actual model of the Plan 6 homes – there was one left of the Plan 6 homes in the original phase (the final home in that half of the development available). Pretty sure that’s the one he’s talking about. We looked at it before we decided to wait for the new phase, and it’s got a really nice location in the complex, however, we decided that the interior space was more important to us than the nicer view that unit had.
We looked at the Model 1’s in the SFR development as well, but decided that a small driveway and back yard weren’t worth it to us in comparison to the much larger “family area” in the Plan 6’s. That’s the big reason we’re buying the Plan 6 ourselves is that we really liked the layout of the main living floor – tons of space to entertain in, and my wife loves the huge kitchen.
BTW, we are going to be doing what you were thinking of doing – our entertainment center will be along the small wall in the family room, which allows us to lay out the rest of the room with a nice home theatre style loveseat and sofa along the back and side walls, and still be open to the kitchen/nook area. We think that’ll give it a much more “open” feel than the model has in that area of the home.
We’ve gone back and looked through our unit a couple of times over the past month, and have been quite impressed with the build quality going into them – all copper plumbing, with the exception of waste pipes, which are cast iron, and the sprinkler system (CPVC, which we don’t mind, since it’s only carrying cold water at constant pressure). Subflooring seems excellent – even with only just the plywood in, there’s no squeaks or give in the upper floors.
