One of the best parts of building custom homes is discovering what homeowners dream about. Every client’s wish list adds new inspiration, and we love bringing those ideas to life. In fact, many of these upgrades are now showcased in our Model Homes.
Below are 12 of the most-requested luxury features we’ve added recently. Which ones will make it onto your custom home checklist?
1. Spray Foam Encapsulated Attic
Forget avoiding the attic during extreme temperatures. Full spray foam encapsulation helps regulate the temperature year-round. Not only does it improve energy efficiency, but it also creates more usable storage space and protects your HVAC system from harsh conditions.
2. Wine or Bourbon Tasting Room
Whether you’re a wine collector or a bourbon enthusiast, having a designated space to display your bottles and entertain guests adds both charm and function to your home. These private tasting areas are growing in popularity—and for good reason.
Imagine controlling your lights, locks, thermostat, and more—from your smartphone. Whether you’re home or away, a custom automation system gives you peace of mind with features like remote AC control, door access, and security alerts at your fingertips.
Kitchen Features
5. Under-Counter Filtered Water Dispenser or Whole-House Water Filter
Enjoy better-tasting, cleaner water throughout your home. Whether it’s a single dispenser or a whole-home filtration system, removing contaminants is a health-forward upgrade you’ll appreciate every day.
6. Oversized or Double Kitchen Islands
The kitchen is where everyone gathers—and a large island makes that easier. From extra seating to expanded prep space and more storage, this feature tops the wish list for many of our clients.
Bathroom & Laundry Features
9. Electric Towel Warmers
Turn your bathroom into a spa-like retreat. Towel warmers are a small touch with a big impact, adding comfort and luxury to your daily routine.
Outdoor Living Features
11. Extended Outdoor Living Areas
Thanks to Texas’s mild weather, outdoor living is a must. Many homeowners are expanding their patios to include dining areas, lounge space, and even full outdoor kitchens—creating a true extension of their indoor lifestyle.
