The home-building process may at first seem overwhelming, but with the expert team at Eastbrook Homes at your side, building your next dream home becomes an exciting and enjoyable experience! Our Homeowner Highlight series offers tips and tricks from real Eastbrook homeowners to help launch your journey toward finding your dream home.

This edition features the story of Jenna and John, a couple who moved into their Eastbrook home just before the 2023 holiday season. With a diverse set of needs, from wanting to entertain family and friends to creating a dedicated space for their teenage son and his friends, Jenna and John needed a unique home design that could accommodate their lifestyle. With the help of Eastbrook experts, the couple was able to create the ideal dream home in a cozy Jenison community that perfectly captured their vision!

When did you move into your home?

We moved into our new home in November 2023.

What home plan do you have?

We chose the Sanibel home plan.

How did you incorporate your family’s lifestyle into your home?

My husband and I love entertaining, so we liked the main floor accommodating that with the open concept kitchen/dining/living space, a teen hangout/gaming space downstairs for our 13-year-old son, and the rest of the bedrooms & laundry upstairs.

What is your decorating inspiration?

I love calm, muted tones for the most part: greenery/succulents, with some modern and vintage accents.

What do you love about your Eastbrook community?

We love this community! The location is close to family work, and the shared pool and clubhouse was definitely a bonus!

What are your favorite features in your home?

My favorite features are the two-sided fireplace, walk-in pantry, and having my own walk-in closet! My husband loves the owner suite bathroom: the upgraded shower and heated floors. 

What was your building process /Eastbrook experience like?

Our experience with Eastbrook was really positive. Our agent, Jessica, was great at navigating us through each step, and the whole team felt helpful and supportive when we had questions or any concerns.

What does “home” mean to you?

Home means comfort, safety, and security, and being with the people we love most. 

Do you have any tips or tricks for new homeowners?

For those considering building a new home, I would say it is worth exploring your options. It may be within reach for you, too! Eastbrook guides you through the process, from the knowledgeable agents to their preferred lenders, and the whole process was feasible and achievable. Our home is truly a dream come true for our family!
