Endless Possibilities: Customizing the Angelina Plan
What if your dream home could be as unique as your family? For generations, Tilson Homes has helped Texas families build homes that go beyond structures—they become the heart of family life. Our most popular floor plan, the Angelina, is no exception. It combines comfort, style, and flexibility, offering the perfect foundation for your custom home journey.
Explore how the Angelina can be tailored to fit your family's unique lifestyle, from exterior design to outdoor living spaces.
Why the Angelina Plan Stands Out
The Angelina is our most-loved floor plan for a reason, offering comfort and space to grow with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3.5 bathrooms, and ranging from 1,957 to 2,738 square feet. Its open-concept living area is perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings, while the split-bedroom layout provides a private owner's retreat for peace and relaxation. But its true strength lies in its adaptability. Think of the Angelina as a canvas. Its smart design and versatile layout make it easy to personalize for your family's unique needs.
Customization Options for the Angelina
Building on your land with Tilson Homes means creating a floor plan that’s uniquely yours. Here are some of the most popular ways families customize the Angelina:
1. Exterior Design
The Angelina offers a variety of exterior styles to make a great first impression. Choose from modern farmhouse, classic Craftsman, or contemporary designs. Many families opt for white board-and-batten siding with wood accents or add stone for a classic farmhouse touch.
2. Kitchen Upgrades
As the heart of the home, the Angelina’s kitchen is fully customizable. Select alternate layouts, oversized islands, custom cabinetry, or eye-catching backsplashes. A popular choice is a large, single-level island for family gatherings, with some opting to relocate the utility room to create space for a walk-in pantry.
3. Living Room Features
The open-concept family room in the Angelina can be enhanced with features like vaulted ceilings, wood beams, or a fireplace. Many homeowners add cathedral ceilings with wood detailing and a central electric fireplace, creating a cozy space that seamlessly connects to the back porch.
4. Master Suite Upgrades
Transform the master suite into your personal retreat. Popular upgrades include spa-like bathrooms, expanded closets, and larger windows to take in the view. Imagine a luxurious walk-in shower with custom tile or oversized windows that bring the outdoors into your bedroom.
5. Outdoor Living
With the Angelina, your outdoor space can be as inviting as the interior. Expand the porch, add a vaulted ceiling, or incorporate outdoor kitchens and entertainment areas. Some families extend the back porch and carry over the family room’s vaulted ceiling, while others create a peaceful retreat overlooking their property.
