The Exterior & Outdoor Living

The exterior sets the tone before you ever step inside. Eider White siding keeps things clean and grounded, while Charcoal Lueders limestone adds the kind of weight and texture that makes a home feel like it belongs on the land.

But the highlight continues to the back! An extended covered porch stretches across the rear of the home. Wide enough for seating, meals, and gathering on a Texas evening. The cathedral ceiling carries through from the family room all the way out to the porch, blurring the line between inside and outside in the best possible way. It's a space designed for the way Texas families actually live.

The Family Room

Step through the front door, and the volume of the room hits you immediately. The cathedral ceiling transforms an already-generous living room into something that feels genuinely grand. Natural light pours in through the rear windows, and the open sightline to the back porch makes the whole space feel connected to the land outside.

The fireplace, wrapped in the same stone used outside, anchors the room without boxing it in. It's the kind of space that feels right, whether it's a quiet evening in or a house full of family. Whitfield Gray vinyl plank flooring runs from here through to the kitchen, keeping the whole main living area feeling seamless and easy to move through.

The Kitchen

This kitchen was built for the way most families actually use the space, cooking while keeping an eye on kids in the living room, hosting holidays without running out of counter space, and staying connected to whoever's at the dining table.

A large center island provides space for casual family meals while leaving plenty of room for a formal dining table. The pantry was expanded by shifting the powder room off the foyer, a behind-the-scenes layout decision that makes a real difference in daily storage and organization. Glass panel doors on select upper cabinets add a bit of character without making the room feel busy. Jasmine White Quartz countertops keep work surfaces clean and durable, and the Storm Cloud island adds just enough contrast to make the space feel considered rather than generic.

The Master Bathroom

The master bathroom was designed as a genuine retreat. The kind of space that earns its keep even on ordinary Tuesday mornings.

The walk-in shower replaces the standard shower with a frameless glass door, and the upgraded plumbing fixture gives you full control over how you unwind. Choose from a handheld spray, a rainfall pour, or a standard flow.  MC31 Ember 12x24 tile covers the walls, warm and grounding. Underfoot, the DA07 Earthy Blend pebble mosaic adds texture and grip, details that make the room feel both luxurious and practical.

Built to Fit: The Custom Options That Made the Difference

The custom options in this build weren't chosen for show; they were chosen because they change how the home is lived in. The cathedral ceiling adds volume and light to the room where the family spends most of their time together. The expanded pantry gives a busy household the storage it needs right where it's needed. The extended back porch creates an outdoor living room that gets used year-round. And the walk-in master shower turns the primary bathroom from a functional room into a personal retreat.

Each of these decisions was made early in the design process. The payoff shows up every single day.
