The House on the Lake

Whispering Oak Lane, Durham, NC (google maps view)

Kathryn and I decided that living in an apartment after we got married was right out, and thus we began researching houses in the RTP area. None of the houses in our price range and location had what we wanted, and we turned to builders. After looking into half a dozen builders and their neighborhoods we settled on Cardinal Lake by Beazer Homes. The market was ripe for buyers, and we feel that we are getting an amazing deal both from Beazer and BB&T Mortgage. More detailed info is below.
