Welcome March!

March 2023 PUBLISHER

Lynn Bowles | lynn.bowles@citylifestyle.com EDITOR

Rick Murray | rick.murray@citylifestyle.com

Let’s face it – Winter 2023 in Hendersonville has been brutal.

Cold weather, frozen precipitation and short days have combined to give most of us a bad case of cabin fever.

Fortunately, storms pass, and so does winter. As February fades into the past, we finally get to turn our calendar to March.

As the gateway to spring, March brings milder weather that beckons us to abandon our winter confines and return to enjoying the great outdoors.

Leafing trees, blooming flowers and warm sunshine set the stage for fun times to come.

The return of warmer, dry weather often prompts many locals to begin their annual spring-cleaning ritual, taking great efforts to spruce up their homes. Most folks take on their clean-up/fix-up projects out of a sense of pride in homeownership. However, others do so in preparation of selling their current abode while seeking their next home.

To help get you into the home-sweet-home mood, we at Hendersonville Lifestyle are pleased to bring you our March 2023 issue. Within its pages, our magazine is chock-full of articles about all things home and community.

Up first, we introduce you to a new builder in our area who offers an innovative home design process that helps homeowners take the stress out of finding their dream homes.

Next, we visit with a local mortgage professional who gives us some tips on how to make the most of any home buying experience.

Finally, we explore a luxurious home designed and constructed by a well-known custom homebuilder that offers some of the best living in Hendersonville.

As always, we also bring you the latest in local community and business happenings to keep you in tune with the City by the Lake.

So now it’s time to kick back, relax and enjoy our home issue.

Happy spring, Hendersonville!

Schell Brothers Happiness Through Homes AWARD-WINNING BUILDER BRINGS ITS UNIQUE APPROACH TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE

18

O PE N H OU SE | HOM E + DE S I GN

“Home is where the heart is…”

Since the 1820s, this popular idiom has been used to express the special feelings and bonds that we have toward our homes. In just six short words, the phrase evokes an emotional connection in each of us that binds us to the people and places we care about.

Home can be defined in many ways, but it usually involves a physical location, ranging from individual residences to entire communities.

However, local homebuilder Schell Brothers defines home quite simply – it means happiness.

“At Schell Brothers, we put happiness first. We believe that focusing on the happiness of our employees and homeowners before anything else makes us the best possible versions of ourselves. It drives us to be much better at what we do every day,” says company CEO Chris Schell. “Our culture of happiness and gratitude permeates everything – it’s what keeps us smiling and coming to work each day.”

“At Schell Brothers, we put happiness first. We believe that focusing on the happiness of our employees and homeowners before anything else makes us the best possible versions of ourselves. It drives us to be much better at what we do every day.”

—Schell Brothers CEO Chris Schell Founded in Delaware in 2003, Schell Brothers was created to give customers a pleasant, low-stress homebuilding process. From the initial consultation to delivery of the keys to the new home, buyers can enjoy the experience of watching their homeownership dreams come true.

Since its inception, Schell Brothers has grown from a small start-up to a large organization that has built over 3,500 homes across a multi-state area. Today, the builder offers over 50 different floor plans which can be tailored to fit individual family needs.

Throughout the home building industry, Schell Brothers is known as a technological leader, developing tools that provide both customers and employees with a more efficient and enjoyable homebuilding process.

Innovations such as the Dare to Dream interactive

in-house studio and the Head Start online design application are used in conjunction with experienced home designers to help customers navigate the maze of available exterior and interior furnishings and finishes.

From construction start to finish, every Schell Brothers home is tracked through a proprietary system called the Heartbeat Customer Portal. This application provides a one-stop gateway for homebuyers to follow the progress of their new home. The system also allows owners to stay in communication with their Schell team and to obtain additional design information throughout the process. Post-build, the portal continues to offer valuable services to owners by allowing them to view all their home documents and manage their warranty items.

The Circle of Home Local Expert Offers Home Buying Tips ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY RICK MURRAY

Purchasing a home has long been considered a hallmark of the American dream. For most buyers, their home represents the largest investment that they will ever make.

These days, purchasing a home is rarely a one-time event. Instead, homeownership occurs in a series of phases that often mirror the stages of life – starting out, growing family and empty nest.

Regardless of where an owner is in the cycle, there are always factors to consider before making any move. To help understand the issues that arise in buying and selling properties, Hendersonville Lifestyle reached out to local Home Loan Specialist Joey Murphey at Churchill Mortgage to gain some professional insight.

FIRST-TIME BUYERS

BUDGET “Looking for a home is fun, but buyers must still deal with economic reality. It is important to create a realistic budget and to have an emergency fund prior to the purchase.”

EMPLOYMENT “Having a stable income is critical when applying for a home mortgage.

Income is a key factor in attaining loan approval.”

LOCATION “Location is everything! Buyers should make certain that they intend to live in their chosen neighborhood for a while before purchasing.”

24

I NSP IR E D BY | HOM E + DE S I GN

Joey Murphey Home Loan Specialist, Churchill Mortgage

“My job is to help families get into homes. It is an incredibly important endeavor that I am proud of and serious about.”

—Joey Murphey

DOWN PAYMENT “Once buyers have a budget, it’s time to save for the down payment. Typically, a 20% down payment is required. However, there are options available for first-time buyers which permit lower down payments."

MORTGAGE “NO NOS” “Do not take out any new loans, make any major purchases or cosign for anyone else during the mortgage application process.”

UPSCALE BUYERS

BUY VS. SELL FIRST “Move up buyers face a tough decision in terms of the timing of their transaction. If they sell first, they risk losing out on their desired new home. However, if they purchase the upscale home first, they run the risk of having two mortgages to pay until they can sell their first property.”

KNOW YOUR HOME VALUE “Attaining an accurate valuation on the worth of an existing property is crucial to determining the feasibility of moving to an upscale home. Realism is the key here – homeowners must not be overly optimistic nor pessimistic.”

EVALUATE FINANCING OPTIONS “It is crucial for up-scalers to know that they have the financial flexibility to put an offer on a new home before selling their existing home unless they choose to sell first.”

CREATE A “LOVE IT, HATE IT” LIST “One of the best ways for homeowners to determine their needs is to create a ‘love it, hate it’ list. This list should include aspects of

the home that the owners enjoy as well as things that they would like to change. The list should be prepared for both the current home as well as the prospective upscale property.”

DOWNSIZING BUYERS

SPACE VS. BELONGINGS “Many times, homeowners decide they have gotten tired of home maintenance chores and expenses. At the same time, they realize that they no longer need as much room, and they begin to think about moving to a smaller space. When considering downsizing, it is also the perfect time to declutter.”

WHERE TO GO “After deciding to downsize, homeowners must evaluate the properties that best suit their needs. Some buyers opt for condominiums, where they can enjoy single-family home life without dealing with maintenance. Others are drawn to the carefree lifestyle of active adult communities. Older owners with medical issues are often best suited for more advanced assisted living centers.”

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS “In many cases, downsizers can sell their existing homes for considerably more than the purchase price of their new destination properties, resulting in a nice nest egg. Furthermore, moving to a managed facility can eliminate many routine homeownership expenses, resulting in even more savings.”

Dream Living With Hannah Homes Customization and Customer Satisfaction Drive Local Builder ARTICLE BY RICK MURRAY | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LYNN BOWLES, CAROLINE SHARPNACK

Homeownership is not a one-size-fits-all proposition.

Just as there are many different types of homes, there are also many types of owners.

Some buyers are so happy with their first home that they never move again. They become sentimentally attached to their dwellings, which are filled with fond memories of family and friends.

Other homeowners are not content with the status quo. They find that they have outgrown their current houses, and they are ready to move up in size and features.

Oftentimes, up-scalers can find their next residences within the existing inventory of homes already on the market. However, other owners have needs and desires that cannot be accommodated through existing builds. They have very specific requirements for what they want in a home that suits their unique situations and personalities. For these homeowners, there is only one option – designing and building a custom home.

Fortunately in Hendersonville, there is an easy solution to this dilemma – Hannah Custom Homes.

This nearly 8,000 sq. ft. masterpiece is one of Hannah's latest custom builds in Hendersonville.

“At Hannah, we do our best to demystify the custom home building process, helping our customers make their dreams come true."

Misty Pyle

Founded in 2005 by Dusty Hannah, Jeff Pyle and Misty Pyle, Hannah Custom Homes is well known throughout Middle Tennessee for building beautiful, high-quality homes that set new standards for design and detail. Hannah is based upon a philosophy of constant evolution in which the company is constantly seeking out the latest design and construction practices to build the best homes possible.

“We strive to ensure that the custom home building process is a creative, fun and satisfying experience,” says Misty Pyle, Hannah Custom Homes partner and office manager. “It is a time during which homeowners get to transform their visions of ideal living spaces from dreams into realities.”

To ensure customer satisfaction, the company is dedicated to a concept it calls the Hannah Standard. Under this guideline, Hannah is committed to managing each project using the most professional processes, principles and practices.

“Although we are known for building showpiece homes, that isn’t what really sets us apart from other builders,” says Misty. “Many builders can bring your ideas to life, but we take it to another level by focusing on what makes the most long-term quality differences – the spaces underneath the home, inside the walls and in the attic. Making homes comfortable, efficient, and long-lasting is where we shine.”

Since its inception, Hannah has constructed many beautiful homes across the region. Every home is a unique dwelling

30

H OU SE CA LL | HOM E + DE S I GN

that has been custom crafted to reflect the individual needs and desires of its owners.

One of Hannah’s latest projects is a beautiful 7,983 sq. ft. estate home located on a large lot in Hendersonville. Featuring a captivating white brick and grey stone exterior, the transitional-style home is a masterpiece of design and construction.

At the back of the home lies a large pool which is surrounded by stone and concrete walkways and luxurious landscaping.

The pool area is perfect for entertaining friends and family in nice weather, and it provides a seamless transition from outdoor to indoor living.

The interior of the home was carefully planned by Nashville-based Aimee Lee Kinssies Design, and it incorporates a perfect melding of hardwood, cabinetry and custom trim throughout.

As with many other Hannah developments, the home incorporates the latest technologies, including an elevated water and air management system designed to optimize conditions in the interior living spaces while minimizing costs.

For families whose home no longer meets their needs, it may be time for a change. If that change includes considering a custom-built home, the homeowner’s first call should be to Hannah Custom Homes.

ARTICLE BY HALEY WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHY BY J.A. STENGER PHOTOGRAPHY

in Kitchen Design

A peek at what’s ahead: bold cabinet colors, statement hardware and swaths of stone.

When designing your dream kitchen, it’s important to balance timeless features with elements that reflect your personality and design aesthetic. You may not plan to remodel your kitchen each year (does anyone do that?), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t creative ways to keep your space feeling modern and fresh.

We spoke with interior designer Brooke Cover about the trends in kitchen design she’s seeing this year, touching on everything from cabinet colors and lighting to tile and countertop combos she’s loving.

TAKING THE COUNTER MATERIAL UP THE BACKSPLASH Although the iconic subway tile backsplash is timeless in its own right, Brooke says she is seeing a big shift toward marble slab backsplashes — which add drama and depth to the kitchen. Not only is it easier to clean than tile, but a marble backsplash and countertop also sets the tone for the entire space and makes a big statement.

WARMING UP THE WHITE We doubt the classic white kitchen will ever completely go out of style, but trends show people are going away from the white kitchen and gray cabinets. They’re opting for white mixed with warmer wood tones, dark greens and blues. Some homeowners are mixing vintage in with the new and modern through butcher block islands or other unique cabinetry choices. Black is making a bold comeback in some kitchens, while others usher in warmth through painted islands or other darker contrast tiles in the bar area. You don’t have to leave behind the timelessness when you warm up your space if you opt for equally timeless black and wood-stained accents. If you want a quick refresh, consider adding pops of wood through cutting boards or other decor accents on countertops or open shelves.

CONTRAST, CONTRAST, CONTRAST! From painted and stained islands to dark lower cabinetry with bright white uppers and mixed lighting fixtures, contrast is the name of the game this year. You’ll see this juxtaposition between clean white and darker colors or even this year’s favorite - greens and blues - all over newly designed kitchens. You’re not breaking any rules by coordinating sculptural pendants over the kitchen island with more vintage-inspired gooseneck sconces over the standalone bar or a chandelier over the eat-in kitchen.

Brooke’s Pro Tip: I suggest viewing countertop slabs in person vs. a small sample piece because each slab has unique movement and colors. They are all so beautiful and works of art. Taking a trip to the warehouse will really help a client to understand the different types available and see the difference in the look of the material.
