Custom Plans with Home Offices

Home offices are now a top request in custom home floor plans

New house plans with home offices can give you an “office environment” within the comfort of your own space. Now that working from home is more common than ever, it’s no surprise that a first floor office has become a top request.

Plans with Home Offices Located Near the Kitchen

This home office is just inside the breakfast nook, separated by farmhouse style barn doors. This flexible layout lets in lots of natural light.

        How to modify custom house plans

        Our creative team can work with you to find the right plan, or modify custom house plans to include:


        1. An open kitchen layout with large islands, built-ins, and window walls

        Custom House Plans with Island Kitchen Open to Great Room

        2. Separated personal space with multi-gen, mother-in-law, or dual master layouts and amenities

        See popular floor plans with a multi-generational layout, here.

        3. A larger shower in the master bathroom (and no tub)

        Doing away with the tub isn’t for everyone – what do you prefer? One (larger) shower, or a “traditional” tub and shower combination?

        4. A bigger pantry with custom-height wood shelving, sink, microwave, and other personal touches

        5. A sun room or screen porch

        North Carolina’s climate is great for sun rooms and screen porches that can be used year-round, especially when you add a cozy outdoor fireplace!

        6. A secret passage, secret pantry, or hideaway

        Secret passageways can be tucked is so many places! Check out these ideas, with a secret door:

        • Under the staircase (leading from foyer to living room)
        • Between upstairs bedrooms
        • From the master closet and home office (using a Murphy bookcase door)
        • From the master closet to an expanded coat closet

              How to finance your new home

              Travars Built Homes offers choices for your custom home financing.

              Custom homes built on your lot require construction to perm financing. Our Preferred Lenders offer competitive rates and a variety of programs for you to choose from, including:

              • One or two time close options
              • Low down payments
              • And interest only payments during the construction phase

              If you already own a lot, your lender will talk with you about how that can impact your construction loan.

              If you are purchasing a lot for your home, the lender will talk with you about options, including wrapping the lot purchase into the construction to perm loan, with one transaction going forward.

              And our three-step pre-build process enables you to know important information about land you are considering purchasing, and how site specific requirements can impact your bottom line.
