A home should feel welcoming today and give you room for what comes next. In this custom home in Grayson County, this family personalized our Travis B with an upstairs bonus room, an attached two-car garage, and thoughtful changes to the kitchen and utility room.

A brick fireplace brings warmth to the family room, while blue siding and a covered front porch create an inviting first impression. Take a closer look at the details that make this home their own.

The Travis Plan, Personalized for This Family

The Travis brings the kitchen, dining area, and family room together in an open layout that makes it easy to stay connected. The master suite sits toward the back of the home, separate from the two secondary bedrooms near the front.

That layout gave this family a starting point for their custom home. The added garage, upstairs bonus room, and changes to the kitchen and utility room give them more space for everyday routines and time together.

A Welcoming Exterior in Shades of Blue

Blue shake siding in the front gable pairs with lighter blue-gray lap siding and a brick base. Craftsman-style columns frame the covered porch, while a curved walkway leads to the front door.

The mix of colors and textures gives the home a welcoming feel. The covered porch adds a comfortable place to enjoy the view and greet family and friends.

A Brick Fireplace at the Heart of the Family Room

The family added a gas fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling brick surround and a rustic wood beam mantel. It creates a natural focal point for the room and brings another layer of texture into the home.

Tall windows fill the family room with light and offer views of the backyard. With the kitchen and dining area close by, the space feels connected whether everyone is gathering for a meal or settling in for a quiet evening.

A Kitchen with Room to Gather

A larger island gives this kitchen more room for preparing meals and pulling up a seat. The farmhouse sink faces the open living area, keeping the person at the sink part of the conversation.

The family also chose a gas cooktop with a stainless range hood and a separate wall oven and microwave. A nearby walk-in pantry keeps food and kitchen essentials close at hand.

Warm wood-toned wall cabinets and a white island pair with granite countertops and a teal herringbone backsplash. The combination adds color and personality without taking away from the kitchen’s welcoming feel.

A Utility Room with Easy Outdoor Access

The utility room has a new connection to the outdoors. An exterior door leads to an additional covered porch, creating a convenient way to come in from the yard without heading through the front of the home.

That access can make a difference after gardening, working outside, or walking the dog. It gives the family a practical spot to manage the transition from outdoor activities to indoor routines.

An Attached Garage Close to the Kitchen

The attached two-car garage connects to the home beside the kitchen and utility room. Groceries have a short trip to the pantry, and everyday gear can come inside without passing through the family room.

The garage sits to the side of the home, keeping the front porch as the main welcome for visitors. It is a practical addition that fits naturally into the layout.

An Upstairs Bonus Room with More Possibilities

Stairs near the foyer lead to a finished upstairs bonus room with its own half bath. This additional space gives the family room to spread out beyond the main living areas.

It could become a place for movie nights, games, a favorite hobby, or working from home. The nearby half bath adds convenience, while the finished room offers more ways to use the home as needs change.

A Private Place to Unwind

At the back of the home, the master suite offers a quieter place to end the day. Its location separates it from the secondary bedrooms and the activity near the front entry.

A walk-in closet and a bath with dual vanities give the suite space for daily routines. While the shared rooms invite everyone to gather, this part of the home offers a little privacy.
