Homeowner Highlight with Dari and Bob
Building a new home is often the beginning of an exciting new phase of life, and at Eastbrook Homes, we’re ready to make the transition as seamless as possible. Our Homeowner Highlight series shares stories from real Eastbrook homeowners to help you glean insights into the homebuying process so you can make the most of all the resources Eastbrook offers in your building journey.
This edition features Dari and Bob, a couple who chose to begin their retirement in the Macatawa Legends community. This Holland neighborhood proved the perfect place for them to relax and enjoy their new slow-paced lifestyle in the company of a community of friendly, welcoming neighbors. Learn more about Dari and Bob’s story below!
When did you move into your home?
2020
What home plan do you have?
How did you incorporate your family’s lifestyle into your home?
We wanted to build something with just one floor, something smaller than what we had, so we could spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying our retirement.
What is your decorating inspiration?
Modern and midcentury
What do you love about your Eastbrook community?
We’ve met so many nice people experiencing the same changes as us, enjoying retirement, which makes being here and away from where we lived before so much easier.
What are your favorite features in your home?
Screened porch, my big island, the open concept, and the double fireplace. Just to name a few!
What was your Eastbrook Experience like?
It was a great experience. We had built two other houses, and this was by far the best experience. There was lots of communication, which made building from out of town a lot easier and less stressful.
What does “home” mean to you?
Home is our place to share a good story and make memories with friends and family. It’s coziness, love, laughter, and a place filled with warmth and comfort. All at the same time!
Do you have any tips or tricks for new homeowners?
Make sure to make a list of everything you want to include because you will most likely forget something important.
Any other thoughts you would like to add?
Coming to this development was the best decision we made. We both are very happy here and have two other couples, both friends of ours, building here now too!
