Back On July 14th 2024 we visited some model homes in Middleton Idaho and fell in love with the Agate floorplan that Hubble offered. It was a lot of money and we weren’t sure we wanted to buy just then, but they also had a lot we really liked. We talked about it on the drive home and called the sales agent leaving a message that we wanted it and let own agent know. We got a call back that the lot was already spoken for … long story short we ended up getting it when the other buyers backed out. These are pics of the progress as the house was being built. We visited almost every weekend from October to March when we finally closed. Even met some of the construction workers. The neighborhood turned out better than we could have hoped, our neighbors are awesome, and Middleton is the best city in Idaho to raise a family.
If you’re here and you’re not family you might be interested in the specs of the house. 6 bed, 3 bath, 3600sf on 1/3 acre. Hubble lets you semi-custom so we walled off the lot for another bedroom, turned an office into a bedroom, and walled off the dining room to make it an office. We declined their landscaping and decided to do the backyard ourselves, which we kind of regret. We have a nice weed hill going
