New Construction in Crestview, FL and Niceville, FL - Beth Little

$1 Move-In Special in Heritage Manor Subdivision Crestview, Florida

  Are you wanting to purchase a new home, but haven't had the extra cash available for closing costs and down payment?  For a limited time Randy Wise Homes is offering a $1 Move-In special on all of their standing inventory in Heritage Manor.

   Here is how it works:  The homes in Heritage Manor qualify for both VA and Rural Housing (USDA) loans.  These loans do not require any money down.  But, you do have to be able to qualify for them.  At closing, Randy Wise Homes will pay all closing costs except for the prepaids (escrow account) and lenders fees.  The lender will give a lender credit at closing that covers the prepaids and lender fee.  That leaves you owing nothing. Of course for this to work, you will have to use one of our preferred lenders.

  We currently have 3 homes available for move-in.  Two are 1786 sf single stories.  They have 4 bedrooms and 2 baths.  Price is $179,900.  We have a 2 story (which we are using for our model home until it is sold), that is 1784 sf.  It is a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath.  Priced $185,900.   Heritage Manor is located in South Crestview, Fl.  It is very close to I-10 and Northwest Regional Hospital.  The subdivision has sidewalks, underground utilities, public water, and public sewer.  If you would like more information about our $1 VA and Rural Housing move-in special please e-mail me at info@thinkbeth.com or call me at (850) 543-8617.  In the meantime, please enjoy these video walk-throughs of our available houses.

   FINALLY!  It's here.  Randy Wise Homes is breaking ground in Hawks Landing, Niceville, FL.  New construction will begin next week.  This subdivision is located on College Boulevard (West) right next to the new Turkey Creek Landing.  This neighborhood offers lots that support a walkout basement. Single story and two story homes will be built, and lots are available for pre-sale. 

These are special homes.  Constructed of all brick, they have 2 x 6 exterior wall framing - which allows R-19 insulation to be placed in the walls.  High impact windows, reinforced garage doors, and blown cellulose insulation in walls and ceiling add to the energy efficiency of your home-as well as offering a more sound proof living space.   The kitchen will have granite counters, stainless GE appliances, and there will be tile in all the wet areas. 

Randy Wise Homes is open to tweaking the floor plans to fit your individual tastes and needs, just give me a call or email me at info@thinkbeth.com and tell me what you are looking for in a new home.

An Intro to Manabloc Plumbing

An intro is all I can give, because I'm not a plumber.  However, since Randy Wise Homes, Inc. uses Manabloc plumbing, I thought I would do some research and learn as much as I could.  I went to my best source, Phillip, who is the Randy Wise Homes building super for Heritage Manor in Crestview, FL; Hawks Landing and Arrowhead in Niceville, FL.  Here is what he told me in a nutshell,

"Normally, if you have a leak you have to turn the water off to the entire house at the main.  The manablock plumbing system has flexible lines that go to a main board (like an electrical panel) and you can switch off the different systems individually. For example, if you have a leak at the kitchen sink, you go to the panel and switch off the line marked 'kitchen' and water still goes to the rest of the house."

That's cool.  Plus, I read on this site that the flexible hoses are freeze break resistant.  Now, you may think that Florida doesn't have to worry about frozen pipes, but we've had some pretty cold winters the last couple of years and it is unusual for a homeowner in this area to have their pipes wrapped. 

With the manablock plumbing system, you're covered-just in case.

 On July 4th, 2011 between 8:00pm and 8:45 pm (sundown) Boggy Bayou in Niceville, FL will be ringing in our nation's independance with a fireworks display. 

My family has attended this event many times, and it is spectacular.  The fireworks are shot from a barge parked in the middle of Boggy Bayou.  There is plenty of room in the grassy area around the shore to set up lawn chairs, but arrive early, because space goes fast.  You can also come by boat - which is my favorite way to watch.  There is something surreal about floating on the water and watching the fireworks explode overhead.  Either way come see the fireworks, it is family friendly and a great way to cap off your 4th of July celebrations. 

If there is a rain delay, Tuesday, July 5th at sundown will be the make-up day.
