I built this in 2000. I designed it (did not hire an architect), hired the sub contractors myself and did the electrical and HVAC myself (with the help of my 3 teenage kids and my wife). Did it for $61/ft. Total build with lot $360K. Sold it 9yr later for $525K.
Only issues were some flashing leaks at dormers and the front yard sunk in around water/sanitary pipes due to poor dirt backfill. Would I do it again? NOPE. . .took a year out of my life and at 70 now, it would probably kill me.
