A Navarro County Dream: Customizing the La Salle Plan

Custom Homes

Building a new home on your land is a journey of turning dreams into reality. It’s about creating a space that reflects your family’s unique personality and lifestyle. We recently had the pleasure of working with a family in Navarro County to build their vision, a stunningly customized version of our popular La Salle floor plan. Situated by the water, this home is a beautiful example of how a great plan can become a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

This Texas ranch-style home showcases a perfect blend of charm and sophistication, with a design that feels both timeless and inviting. The exterior makes an impression with its mix of rugged stone with herringbone brick detailing in the gables, and rich dark-stained wood accents that add depth and character. Set against the backdrop of a scenic waterfront, this home exudes a sense of grandeur while maintaining a welcoming ranch aesthetic.

Maximizing Views and Natural Light

One of the most captivating features of this Navarro County home is its connection to the outdoors. The homeowners wanted to take full advantage of their beautiful property, and the design achieves this with remarkable success.

The rear of the home, facing the water, is dominated by a wall of sliding glass doors that invite breathtaking views and fill the interior with natural light. Above the multi-panel doors, large geometric windows follow the dramatic pitch of the vaulted ceiling, which is accented with heavy dark-wood beams. This combination of design elements creates a bright, airy living space with rustic grandeur and panoramic views of the tranquil water beyond.

  

A Living Space Designed for Family

The open-concept layout of this customized La Salle plan ensures that the main living areas flow together seamlessly, creating a perfect environment for family gatherings and entertaining. An added stone fireplace anchors the living room. The light-colored, rough-hewn stone adds texture and a natural element that complements the wooden beams, while a dark wood mantel provides a beautiful finishing touch. It’s easy to imagine cozy evenings spent here with loved ones.

The windmill-style ceiling fan is another standout feature, blending perfectly with the home's rustic aesthetic while providing comfort and style. The dark wood-look luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas adds warmth and durability, grounding the light and airy space.

   

A Kitchen Designed to Blend Style and Function

A truly great home has a kitchen that is both beautiful and highly functional, and this one is no exception. The kitchen is a chef's dream, thoughtfully designed with a mix of rustic and modern elements. Dark custom cabinetry provides abundant storage and a rich contrast to the light-colored countertops and neutral walls.

The centerpiece of the kitchen is the large island. Clad in the same natural stone as the fireplace, it creates a cohesive design element that ties the spaces together. The island is not just a visual anchor; it’s a practical workspace, complete with a large sink and plenty of room for meal preparation. Industrial-style pendant lighting hangs above, illuminating the space with a warm glow.



A Master Suite for Rest and Relaxation

The master suite continues the home's theme of comfortable luxury. The master bathroom is a private retreat designed with symmetry and sophistication. It features dual vanities with dark wood cabinetry and clean white countertops, providing ample personal space. Each vanity is complete with its own large mirror and stylish lighting fixture.

A central hallway between the vanities leads to a tall, built-in linen cabinet and his and hers walk-in closets, offering exceptional storage. The wood-look flooring extends into the bathroom, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The design also incorporates a spacious walk-in shower with modern tilework and a beautiful freestanding tub sits beneath a large window, offering a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the peace of your surroundings.

   

A Custom Touch for Furry Friends

One of the home’s most thoughtful features is the custom dog shower incorporated into the laundry room. Designed with this family's furry members in mind, this addition makes bath time a breeze. The shower includes tiled walls and an adjustable handheld sprayer to ensure comfort for both pets and their owners. With its practical yet stylish design, the dog shower is a wonderful touch that showcases the care and attention to detail this family put into their home. It’s the perfect spot for muddy paws or quick clean-ups after outdoor adventures on their land.
