Building a home on your own land is a special journey. It’s about creating a space that is more than just walls and a roof; it’s about building the heart of your family’s life for years to come. For over 90 years, Tilson Homes has been a trusted partner for Texas families, helping them bring their vision to life. Our Brazoria plan is a perfect example of how a flexible design can become the foundation for your unique dream home.

The Brazoria combines timeless style with modern functionality, offering a beautiful and versatile canvas for your family. Its true strength lies in its adaptability. Let's explore how real families have personalized the Brazoria plan to perfectly match their needs, making each home truly one-of-a-kind.

Shape Your Home's First Impression: Exterior Customizations

The exterior of your home is the first thing friends and family see, and it should reflect your personal style. With the Brazoria, you can choose from a wide range of finishes and materials for a look that's all your own.

A Kitchen Designed for Your Life

A kitchen should be designed to suit your family’s unique rhythm. Whether it’s for large gatherings or everyday living, the Brazoria delivers flexibility.

The Johnsons had a clear vision: they reconfigured the kitchen to accommodate a professional gas range, added custom cabinetry with additional drawers for easy storage, and selected a striking black sink to echo their home’s exterior palette. Their extended kitchen island, finished in a different color for visual interest, now serves as a central hub for family and friends.

Other homeowners have made the kitchen their own with features like double ovens, walk-in pantries, or dedicated coffee bars. These choices prove that every detail, from backsplashes to cabinet finishes, can be personalized to fit your taste and needs.

Enhance Your Living Spaces

The living room is where memories are made and family comes together. The Brazoria plan makes it easy to add personality and comfort, and many families choose to include architectural details, vaulted ceilings, or statement fireplaces.

The Johnsons decided on an electric fireplace, saving space and simplifying cleanup, while larger windows in the living area capture the rolling views of their property. It’s touches like these that transform gathering spaces into the heart of the home.

Create Your Personal Retreat: Master Suite Upgrades

Everyone deserves a restful sanctuary, and the Brazoria’s master suite offers plenty of room for upgrades. 

The Johnsons enhanced their owner’s retreat by upsizing the bedroom windows to frame beautiful morning views and adding a private exit door out to the expanded back patio, blurring the line between indoors and out. In the bathroom, they installed a walk-in shower with river rock flooring, a built-in bench, and a hand-held sprayer for added comfort, all illuminated by natural light.  

Functional Rooms for Modern Families

One of the best parts of building a custom home is creating spaces that truly fit your life. The Brazoria plan’s flexible layout welcomes creative ideas.

The Hinojosa family, like many of our homeowners, had a unique vision for a space that truly reflected their heritage and dedication. They wanted their home to include a dedicated place for their cherished military uniforms and awards, a space where these symbols of service could be honored and proudly displayed.

The Johnsons added a barn door to one guest bedroom to reinforce the farmhouse charm. In their home office, they integrated built-in shelving and a floor outlet to support working from home. This subtle change made the room far more functional for their daily routine.

The Milners found versatile solutions for their family's needs. One bedroom became a flexible space—serving as an office, yoga studio, guest room, and playroom for their grandchildren. Another bedroom was transformed into a bright and tranquil art studio. These personalized touches truly make a house a home, reflecting how easily our plans adapt to your unique lifestyle.

Imagine the possibilities within your home! From thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill bathrooms to versatile Murphy beds that create multi-use rooms and smart storage solutions, the Brazoria plan truly proves how every corner can be wonderfully adapted. It's all about tailoring your home to perfectly suit your family's unique lifestyle.

Texas living is all about spending time outdoors, and the Brazoria is designed to maximize your connection to your land. The Johnson family’s extended tongue-and-groove covered patio runs the full length of their home, providing plenty of space for gatherings, stargazing, and taking in the scenery. They added dimmable LED lighting, wiring for ceiling fans, and durable finishes built to last. 

The Milners chose to expand their back porch and the roof above it, making the space a perfect spot for family cookouts or quiet evenings. These outdoor upgrades, paired with larger patio doors or windows, make it easy to blend indoor comfort with the beauty of your property.

Your Dream Home Awaits

The Brazoria plan’s thoughtful design and range of customization options have helped Texas families turn their houses into homes filled with meaning, comfort, and personal style. Whether it’s a barn door that welcomes you home, an art studio filled with natural light, or even a special spot for your pets, the Brazoria can be shaped to your dreams.
