Janet and Len Nardone are paving a new way to build your dream home in The Reserve at Lake Keowee, and we are following their journey from breaking ground to move-in day right here on the official Reserve Blog! As the first Reserve owners to select a plan from the 22 designs in The Reserve’s new Builder Showcase Program, The Nardone’s broke ground this spring on their new Lake Keowee home and Ridgeline Construction Group, a Reserve Showcase Builder, has been hard at work ever since.
Progress Report:
It may not look like much has happened, but Ray Foral, of Ridgeline Construction, confirms that site work and other necessary preparations have taken place: foundation is in, the underground plumbing and underground electric are complete, the lower level concrete slab has been poured and site preparation has helped open up the beautiful view of Lake Keowee! The Ridgeline team has been busy backfilling and building boulder walls in preparation for framing that begins in July. 
Janet and Len live in Maryland, but make time to enjoy The Reserve as often as they can since they became members in 2006. Their decision to build a part-time residence—which they hope to eventually make their family’s permanent home—was influenced by the simplicity of the Builder Showcase Program. “The builder program was a good choice for us since we will be building our home from long-distance. The design phase was easier for us because we had something to start with, but could customize the home to make it our own,” says Len.
