Bielenberg Sports Center

When Money magazine recently announced their list of 100 best small cities in America based on financial stability, housing, education and quality of life, we weren’t surprised that Woodbury landed 13^th. After all, those are some the very same reasons Custom One Homes chooses to build in this fine city.

According to the city’s website (http://www.ci.woodbury.mn.us/) Woodbury continues to be one of the Minnesota’s fastest-growing cities for a whole lot of good reasons:

• 120 miles of multi-use trails surrounded by 3,000 acres of dedicated parkland
• Close proximity to the St. Croix River Valley
• Thriving business community
• Exceptional public and private schools
• Major retail shopping areas
• Outstanding medical, including a full-service acute care hospital
• Indoor and outdoor parks and recreation centers
• Premier golf courses

Golf Courses

At Custom One Homes, we’d like to add a couple more highlights to the list — two marvelous neighborhood communities in which we love to build — Dancing Waters and Stonemill Farms>>

Dancing Waters

Dancing Waters features open trails, wetlands and a private central park with a swimming pool, sundeck, gazebo, perennial garden and more. It’s a great family neighborhood located off of Valley Creek Road in the City of Woodbury.

Stonemill Farms offers a convenient rural escape on the east side of Woodbury. The onsite Community Center is a great spot for energetic workouts, laps in the pool and family celebrations and it’s all connected to trails, parks and open space for residents of all ages.

Fred and Heidi

Fred and Heidi weren’t exactly in the market for a new home when they fell in love during the Parade of Homes Spring Preview in 2009 — at least not a home of this size and floor plan.  Instead they were contemplating downsizing, without a deadline in mind. One of their two sons is already in college and the second is graduating high school this spring. There was no real hurry.

“We came out to the Parade on a whim,” Heidi says with a laugh. “When we came through Custom One Homes Raleigh model>>, we knew we were doomed from the start.” Fred is quick to agree. “Heidi fell head over heels —but  I was afraid we’d be in over our heads.”

Grand Entrance

“When we walked around this house, we suddenly realized we weren’t ready for less square footage,” says Heidi. “The layout was perfect for us! Not too small when the boys are home — and not too large when we’re alone. I was hooked.”

Being a practical man, Fred decided they needed to see more homes to compare. “The problem was,” says Fred, “nothing else we saw measured up to a Custom One Home.”

They were both so impressed by the quality construction and attention to detail. “It’s the little things in this house that, once you discover them, you see every other house as imperfect,” says Fred.

Because their current home wasn’t even on the market, Fred and Heidi met with Custom One Homes Specialist, Jeremiah Rygh about their New Home Guarantee>> — a plan where the builder buys your home if it isn’t sold by the time the new home closes. “The New Home Guarantee really made the process worry-free,” says Heidi. “Just knowing our move-in date made everything less stressful.”

Foyer and Stairway

Heidi and Fred also have nothing but good things to say about living in the community of Stonemill Farms. “I wish we had come here earlier, when the boys were younger,” says Heidi. “We love the walking paths, the gym and other amenities I know we’ll use this summer. There’s such a great sense of community here.”

Gourmet Kitchen

Heidi beams as she talks about their new Custom One Home by Mike Rygh. “I can’t imagine not living in a Mike Rygh home now,” says Heidi. “Everything is taken care of. It would be really hard to go back to a lesser built home.”  Fred agrees that their new home is a dream come true. “Heidi says, ‘I keep thinking someone is going to wake us up and ask for their home back,’” laughs Fred. “But it’s our home, and we’re here to stay.”

Welcome to the Neighborhood

Like any devoted parents searching for a new home, Kari and Scott were adamant about living close to the schools their children attend. “When you have school-age children, location takes top priority,” begins Kari. “We really loved our old neighborhood, but staying there would have meant long bus rides to school and a lot of additional driving to activities.”

Kari and Scott had never built a home before but they found a Custom One Homes’ model in Dancing Waters a year ago and really liked the home design. Then they met with Custom One’ New Home Specialist, Rob Fritz, who provided information on how they could customize one for themselves. Undecided about whether they wanted to tread on new construction territory, they started looking at newer existing homes but found them still pretty expensive, plus they knew they’d have to live with another homeowner’s floor plan.

Then they visited Stonemill Farms in Woodbury and discovered the last remaining Custom One Home’s home site on the north end of the community. “We loved the whole community aspect of Stonemill Farms,” says Kari. “We also knew some of the families whose kids played sports with ours — and they couldn’t say enough good things about living there. When we found out it was a Custom One Homes’ lot, we got back in contact with Rob Fritz right away and he put the home building process in forward motion.”

Celebrating the Groundbreaking

After they sold their home, Kari and Scott moved their family into a town home while their new home was being built. “Mike Rygh was extremely great to work with during the entire construction process,” says Kari. “He was working on several other job sites at the time, but he gave us a lot of personal attention. It made the entire experience a pleasant one.”

Kari is quick to acknowledge the professionalism and great rapport they also enjoyed with the Custom One Home’s Staff, Cheryl Mann and Rob Fritz.  “Cheryl put together a huge binder that gave us the step-by-step construction details, so we knew exactly what was happening next and what decisions had to be made,” says Kari  “The Selection Centers worked closely and carefully with us for every feature and product we needed inside and outside of our home. And Rob kept in contact with us from the ground-breaking ceremony to the closing when he surprised us with a photo book that chronicled the entire construction process.  He made the entire process very family oriented and we have some great memories as a result!”

Perfect for Entertaining

A Relaxing Master Bath

That wasn’t the only surprise Kari and Scott got with their first building experience. “Our home was completed a week before it was promised — including all of the landscaping,” concludes Kari. “How often do you hear of that happening with new home construction? Mike Rygh and Custom One Homes stayed true to their word and they are all absolutely wonderful to work with.”
