A Coastal Carolina Home, Built for Real Life

Our semi-custom home build with Schumacher Homes

We chose to build a semi-custom home with Schumacher Homes in Charleston, SC after falling in love with a one acre lot less than a half of a mile from the intracoastal waterway. I truly had no idea just how much we’d learn along the way. From navigating land prep and elevation requirements to budgeting for things like engineered septic systems, and modest upgrades to make this house a home, the journey has been full of surprises, spreadsheets, and some serious life perspective.

If you're planning a home build — especially with Schumacher Homes — this timeline will give you a real look at what to expect. And if you're just here for the behind-the-scenes drama and budget breakdowns, we’ve got that too.
