Today marked the beginning of a beautiful sunny Mother’s Day weekend in Sammamish. In the late afternoon we took a drive to check out the property and show it to Joel’s parents. They loved the great neighborhood and how calm and relaxing the property was. The quiet park-like setting was gorgeous yesterday as the sun was just setting behind the trees to the west. While there, we met the next-door neighbor who was out walking her dog. She was very friendly and nice to talk to, only having nice things to say about the property and the area. She said that she was the first home built on the street and that she’s been watching all of the homes being built for the past few years. She studied as an Architect so I’m sure she loved watching all the different types of homes in the neighborhood be built. I know I would!

She also mentioned that her home was originally built and owned by Dwight K. Martin, who has since moved to build and live on Lake Sammamish. She was raving about the quality of construction and attention to detail of her home and that he was a phenomenal builder. I checked out his website (www.dkmartincustomhomes.com), and he definitely looks like a very quality builder. I’m sure he’ll be someone that we’ll check out once we’re at that stage.
