A house they love to call home

Abbi and Perry Thompson were already homeowners, but when they came across a Clayton home with enough space and land for their hobbies, they couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Learn how their new home is more than just a roof and four walls.
The homeowners weren't in the market for a new home when they decided to check out a Clayton home already placed on land in Keenesburg, CO, on a whim one day. What was supposed to be a simple birthday celebration turned into celebrating a new house they now love to call home.
"(Perry) bought me a dirt bike for my birthday," Abbi said. "Since I'm a real estate agent, I'm always looking at homes around the area, so when I saw this Clayton home on the MLS listing on our way back (from the dirt bike track), I wanted to see it."
At first, Perry wasn't as interested in checking out the house because they already owned a home, but as Abbi read the details, he realized it checked almost all their boxes. After they visited the house, they called Perry's cousin, who is also a real estate agent and is familiar with the quality of Clayton homes and how the company works with homeowners. They ended up making an offer that night.
"(After speaking with her), it was another reassurance that this home was a good fit for us," Abbi said.
Abbi and Perry always dreamed of owning a home with more space and land to ride around on their vehicles. Perry is a mechanic, and working on cars is his passion. Together, they own five vehicles, four dirt bikes and a tractor, so the home and land had plenty of room for him to set up a shop and work on cars; something their previous home didn't have. When they first moved in, Perry worked on his own cars and his buddies’ cars as a side job from his day job as a mechanic. But since moving in, he quit his job and opened his own diesel truck business at his shop.
