Building a Home

Forest Glen house plan

11 years ago

My husband and I are considering Gary/Ragsdale's Forest Glen house plan. I believe it was a Southern Living Idea house many years ago. Has anyone built this house and have advice or pictures of the inside? We are also considering Abberley Lane but would have to get someone to reconfigure the inside a good bit. Thanks in advance!

This is so funny. We were also torn between this house and Abberley Lane. We are going with a heavily modified Abberley Lane. I do love the forest glen, though!

Good luck!

If you do a google search of gardenweb and forest glen, you will come up with a few old threads.

I remember someone building this house years ago when I first joined the board.

The biggest complaint was the distance between the garage and the kitchen.
