Planning to build? There are few things more exciting than planning for your dream home. Not sure where to start? Here are some things to consider in the early stages of the custom home-building process.
Location, Location, Location
It’s more than a real estate slogan; it’s an essential first step toward your dream home. Florida has many beautiful communities, so the final decision comes down to your priorities. Here’s why so many people choose Clermont, FL, as their neighborhood:
- Scenic and Green: Whether you’re enjoying our Historic Downtown or taking a stroll through Waterfront Park, Clermont has plenty of natural beauty and charm. Scenic lakes, rolling hills, and lots of opportunities for outdoor relaxation and recreation make it a favorite spot for many people moving to Central Florida.
- Great for Families: There’s plenty to do in Clermont, without the overwhelm of larger Florida cities. We love Clermont because it has that “small town feel”, but offers plenty of ways to support local businesses and get to know your neighbors.
- Not Far from the Fun: When you are ready for those classic Florida vacations, you don’t have to go far. Building your dream home in Clermont means you’re only about 30 minutes from Orlando, and about an hour and a half from Cocoa Beach.
Layout & Design
When it comes to custom home design and layout, the possibilities are endless. It’s a great idea to look at other custom homes in the area to see what appeals to you (and what doesn’t). But at the end of the day, the decision is yours. Here are some things your builder is likely to ask about:
- Architectural Style and Design: What look and feel do you love for the structure of your home? What about the inside? Do you love a particular period or style, or are you going for a timeless look? Materials, textures, and finishes can all be carefully selected and combined to create the exact aesthetic you want.
- Layout and Features: We love helping people finalize a layout for their dream custom home. This could include bonus rooms, a swimming pool, or a luxurious outdoor living space. When your home is your own personal retreat, you don’t have to leave it to relax and recharge. Every day can feel like a getaway.
- Details and Final Touches: Often, the little things make all the difference. What kind of lighting fixtures and switches do you want? How do you want to treat the windows to make the most of natural light, while still giving you plenty of privacy? Do you have plenty of shelving and storage? This is your chance to build something that’s entirely your own.
