The House Plans

OK...the lot has been selected and cleaned up.  Time for House Plans.  After many months of looking online for house plans, we found a basic floorplan that we liked and took them to a local architect.  He took the plans and did a wonderful job customizing the house to suit our needs.  Here is the final version of what he came up with.  
We went with a 2 story floorplan.  Total square feet is about 3500.
Electrical Plans

Basic Layout - 3 bedroom 3 1/2 baths, master bedroom upstairs with sitting room and private balcony, along with one addition bedroom upstairs with private bath.  Downstairs is the third bedroom with private bath (for us it will be a gym), great room (living room dining room opening into kitchen), an office, and a two car garage.
Foundation and some technical specs

We actually moved it further back on the lot than this plans shows.  That allowed us to save a few more trees and get us further from the road noise.
