Anthony and Brooke’s journey with Virtue Homes marks an exciting chapter as they relocated from Illinois back to the Fox Valley, a place that has always felt like home. Embarking on the journey to build a custom home, they found an ideal partner in Virtue Homes—a premier custom home builder in the Fox Cities. Together, they crafted a home perfectly tailored to their needs, beautifully showcased in this year’s Parade of Homes.
Finding the Perfect Lot for A Custom Home Build
For Anthony and Brooke, the decision to build was a natural one. “We knew that we wanted to come back to the neighborhood where we owned our previous home,” Anthony explains. They found the place for their future home right in the backyard of their first home in Appleton. “We found a perfect lot and Virtue happened to be the builder for it,” he adds.
Virtue Homes’ In-House Designer
Anthony and Brooke came to Virtue Homes with a clear vision and a desire for a custom build. “We wanted a true custom build experience, so that meant us designing our ideas from scratch,” Anthony states. Working with an external architect, they crafted a floor plan that suited their growing family and lifestyle.
Christy, Virtue Homes’ interior designer, played a crucial role in refining their ideas and helping them make decisions that balanced current trends with timeless appeal. ” She was an inspiring push for us because there were times that we were stuck on things, but she was the tiebreaker for us,” Brooke mentions.
Home Defined By You
Anthony and Brooke’s new home is filled with features that reflect their personal style and needs. A hidden pantry was an addition that Brooke always wanted, and Anthony’s vision included elegant arches and a rainfall shower.
For Future Homeowners
Reflecting on their experience, Anthony and Brooke are grateful for the support and expertise of the Virtue Homes team. “The team did an amazing job. It was a fun experience,” Anthony notes.
Their advice for future homeowners is simple. “Be patient and enjoy the process.”
Building with Virtue Homes allowed Brooke and Anthony to create a home that meets their growing family’s needs while maintaining the unique charm they envisioned. Their journey is an example of how thoughtful planning and collaboration can transform a house into a dream home.
