Customizing Your Waterfront Home

Customizing Your Waterfront Home

How can one best customize their waterfront home? Shore-Line Construction can help.

If you are looking for a custom waterfront home, you probably have some ideas for what you are looking for. For example, you might imagine a broad view out onto the Chesapeake Bay or a house style you’ve always dreamed of living in. You might have particular wants for hobbies and lifestyle. Even so, it can always be helpful to go over some key questions to make sure you’ve covered everything in your design. Below are a few tips for customizing your waterfront home.

Customizing Your Waterfront Home

Different types of new construction homes exist, and although one might call it a custom home, it might technically be another kind of build. The truest form of custom home is designed entirely from scratch. Semi-custom homes have room for modification, but the homebuyer works from a house template. Meanwhile, speculatively-built and tract homes are new construction houses designed to sell. If you are looking to customize without the learning curve of architectural design, a semi-custom home is likely for you.

Finding the Best Land

Your waterfront home design will partially depend on the type of land on which it sits. For example, if it sits on a slope down to the dock, it will require a lower floor level to accommodate the ground-level change. With Shore-Line Construction, you can find a building lot to suit your preferences.

Finding the Right Floor Plan

Home templates come in many styles and variations. It can be hard to choose between them! However, you can narrow it down according to the style you naturally like best and the type of floor plan with which you are most comfortable. For some, an open or closed floor plan, or a simpler or more complex layout, suits them better. 

Identifying Your Needs

You can also narrow down your ideal house plan by thinking of what your lifestyle needs are. Do you need rooms for your visiting children to stay in? Do you like to entertain? Do you have growing kids that need a play and homework area? Will you often spend time on the water? How you live determines the design.

Finishing Touches

You might come to the drawing table with finishing touches in mind. You might know you want a house with a stone or brick front, dormer windows, or a backyard balcony. You might already know what color the doorknobs should be. If not, that’s just fine. Shore-Line Construction can help you with the whole process and make your dream waterfront home a reality.
