Catherine and Carter had a vision: to build their dream modern farmhouse. As high school sweethearts starting a family, they yearned for a home that was elegant yet warm, with the comforts of a farmhouse and the elegance of contemporary design.
After years of living in a small rental, Catherine, an interior designer, and Carter, an accountant, finally felt ready to build their forever home. They searched for the perfect plot of land, eventually finding 10 acres of rolling hills and green pastures.
With land secured, the hunt for the perfect home builder began. Catherine and Carter interviewed local builders but none seemed able to bring their vision to life. The house plans all felt cookie-cutter, the designs uninspired. They started to lose hope of finding a builder up to the task.
Catherine and Carter had a clear vision for their new custom home. They wanted more space than their current home could supply for their growing family. Their wish list included an open and airy house plan that was ideal for entertaining, a large kitchen with high-end appliances, a magnificent master bedroom, plenty of storage, and a garage.
Most importantly, they wanted to work with a builder who could bring their vision to life. “We had a very specific style in mind,” says Catherine. “A modern farmhouse aesthetic with clean lines, lots of natural light, and high-end finishes.”
Finding the perfect home builder who could deliver on their wishlist would be no easy task. The couple wanted the best, but also had a budget to consider. It would take a builder who could strike the ideal balance between quality and value.
Catherine and Carter knew they wanted a new custom home that would reflect their modern farmhouse aesthetic. But with so many options, how could they ensure they found the right builder?
The couple did their research and met with several custom home builders in the area. While the other builders they talked to seemed capable, none of them stood out as an ideal fit.
That all changed when they sat down with the team at Schumacher Homes. Right away, Catherine and Carter were impressed with Schumacher Home’s portfolio showcasing gorgeous modern farmhouse designs. The company clearly had extensive experience bringing this popular style to life.
Beyond their expertise with the farmhouse look, Schumacher Homes offered a consultative approach that put Catherine and Carter at ease. The builder didn’t just try to sell them a pre-designed home. Instead, they listened carefully to the couple’s wish list and talked through different possibilities to create their perfect custom home.
Catherine and Carter worked closely with Schumacher Homes’ award-winning design team to bring their vision to life. As Catherine explains, “We had a Pinterest board full of ideas, but we needed help turning that into a cohesive design.”
Catherine and Carter selected the popular Westfield house plan for their new Schumacher Home. This spacious single-story design includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a study, and a garage, encompassing over 1374 square feet.
Before they knew it, the final inspections were complete and they were handed the keys to their stunning new modern farmhouse. The couple was thrilled with how Schumacher Homes had so expertly brought their dream home to reality through an efficient, high-quality construction process they felt engaged with every step of the way.
As Catherine and Carter drove up the winding road to their new Schumacher Home for the first time, they were overcome with emotion. After a year of dreaming, planning, and watching their farmhouse be built from the ground up, the big reveal had finally arrived.
