Turner Family New Construction Project

Custom Neo-Classical Greek Revival Home

Nested between the Comite River and Blackwater Bayou in Central lies the Turner Family’s home.

In 2018, Carroll Construction had the privilege of building this beautiful two-story Neo-Classical Greek Revival home. In addition to the exquisite interior features like reclaimed longleaf pine box beams on the ceiling of the den & kitchen, brick arch framing & brick floors, and an unbelievable master bath, the home boldly hosts custom iron railings along the front porch, back porch, and balcony.

This residence also features a few amazing amenities that make this a truly one-of-a-kind home. These include a built-in doggy den (with its very own front door!), hidden spice racks in the kitchen wall, and beautiful stone walls in the Butler’s Pantry.

IMPORTANT LOAN CONSIDERATIONS

Your budget is the foundation for every other decision you will make while preparing to build a home because it provides context for what is possible. Most people attempt to answer the question of “What is my budget?” by simply deciding how much they would be comfortable spending. Unfortunately, while this is a crucial part of the process, it ignores the rest of the picture. We advise our clients to answer the following questions in the order below. However, if you are self-financing the project, skip to question #3.

1. How much will a financial institution lend me?

This sets what we refer to as your Maximum Loan Amount.

2. What type of loan will I need?

This is where many people get confused because if you ask the wrong questions when interviewing lenders, you’ll get vastly different answers. We recommend reviewing the information in this article on the loan type you will need before meeting with your lending candidates.

3. How much am I willing to spend?

Just because a lender is will to lend up to your Maximum Loan Amount, this does not mean you will be willing to borrow and spend that amount. Consider the monthly payments as a starting point and adjust your Budget amount from there. Your chosen lender can help you with this.

4. What can I reasonably expect to build for what I am willing to spend?

This answer will come from a qualified builder during your preliminary meeting. Be prepared to discuss your budget so that the builder can help you get a better idea of what size home to design to meet your goals.
