The Hunter Creek Home Plan 1326 is under construction in Wilmington, NC!
The Carter family is building The Hunter Creek home plan at Waterberry Plantation in Wilmington, NC. This is the third Donald Gardner home plan that the Carters have built and they plan for it to be their forever home. The homeowner states, “it is important to love the space where you live. Hopefully, this will be our retirement home, so we are pouring a great deal of thought into every material”. In this Rendering-to-Reality story, we will follow the construction process from breaking ground to move in ready! Check back often for updates as the dream home plan progresses!

Exterior Finishes & Insulation:
The siding is installed and ready for paint. The Carters chose Sherwin Williams Illusive Green for the siding, SW Gauntlet Gray for the trim, and a stain for the wooden accents. The stone will be delivered soon!
Inside, insulation is complete along with HVAC duct work. The beautiful quartzite counter-tops have been delivered from Brazil and are ready to be cut.
Mrs. Carter wanted to repurpose some of the materials from her grandparent’s house that was built by her grandfather in 1932. She selected a screen door to restore and use as a pantry door.

Windows & Updates:
The black-on-black windows have been installed. The Carter’s grandchildren have loved watching the home being built from the ground up. They already know what each room will be, but are most excited for their playroom which will be Narnia themed! The playroom with be in the second bedroom closet which the Carter’s modified to be 12′ x 6′. They also opted to eliminate the octagonal screened porch, screening in the center rear porch instead, and opened up the wall dividing the kitchen and great room. The doors will be delivered next and those and the siding will be installed soon!
