        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 or outdoor kitchen!

        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.

            Contact us for more details about your down payment, the lending process, custom home financing, and building on your lot:

              Custom Home Pricing

              Build costs are detailed and transparent at Travars Built Homes

              We don’t have a generic “price per square foot” because we build custom homes from cottage to estate. “Square feet” is only part of what custom home pricing is based on, including:

              • What is the architectural style?
              • How big is the footprint? 
              • How much square footage is downstairs?
              • How much square footage is upstairs?
              • How high are the ceilings?
              • How big and how many windows and doors?
              • How extensive is cabinetry and countertops in the kitchen, bathrooms, and mudroom?
              • How many bathrooms does the plan have, and how big are they?
              • Extensiveness of built-ins
              • Garage size
              • Covered porches, screen porches, outdoor living areas

              Knowing what it takes to build your new home at your homesite can make a big difference as you consider your choices. Build costs can differ depending on where you are building your home, due to things like:

              • Local regulations and impact fees
              • Community covenants
              • Topography
              • Water sources
              • Length of driveway
              • Streams, rock and other natural elements
