The first of several homes chosen from The Reserve Builder Showcase plans is well underway!
Since its inception in 2009, several families have put their confidence in The Reserve’s Builder Showcase Program to build their dream home on Lake Keowee. The ease of choosing from 25 pre-approved designs and confidence in the experience of our 9 Showcase builders is appealing to busy families who are wary of the commitment to build a home.
As the first Reserve owners to select a plan from the Builder Showcase Program, we are following the progress of Janet and Len Nardone’s Lake Keowee home right here on the official Reserve Blog! Ridgeline Construction Group, began construction last April and anticipates a move-in date of early Spring 2011.
Progress Report:
Ray Foral, of Ridgeline Construction Group, reports that framing is complete and his crews are currently working on stone veneer and prepping for stucco on the exterior of the home. On the inside, they are hanging drywall and getting ready to start on the interior finishes (paint, trim, tile, cabinets, etc.).
The Nardones visited the lake in October for their electrical walk through where they addressed locations of all lights, switches, audio-visual needs, etc. In December, when they came for The Reserve Christmas Party, they did a thorough review of all interior finish selections and tied up loose ends. The Nardones have officially completed all decisions regarding the construction of their home, allowing them to sit-back and enjoy watching their home come together!
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.
