This Travars Built Home was designed and built in Pittsboro, North Carolina. It was honored with a Gold award from the Chatham County Parade of Homes.
The exquisite countryside cottage was created by the Travars Built Homes team with an interesting medley of architectural designs. See examples from mountain house to modern farmhouse to arts and crafts. This home has superb craftsmanship with an incredible open floor plan filled with sunshine and space.
It was designed for indoor and outdoor living. The verandah style 8′ deep covered porch runs across the front of the home and culminates in a screen porch. Double sliding doors create a glass wall with access into the gathering room.
The thoughtful layout was designed with aging-in-place details such as a sunken step-down tub, roll in shower, extra wide hallway, and lever doors. A practical office is located off the first floor primary suite.
Storage space is tucked in everywhere. There are three pantries (a hidden pantry, bulk storage pantry and canning pantry), and extensive bookcases and cubbies. Wonderful cabinetry has lots of pull out drawers. There is also a walk-in storage room upstairs that’s bigger than the guest room.
Grounded with with lightly stained oak hardwood floors and wood-look tile in soft grey and blue, the welcoming open feel is further accentuated by a soaring 17 foot ceiling over the gathering area. A sloped roofline above the kitchen enables a clear sight line from the upstairs loft.
This Travars Built Home defines “custom home” with creative artistry inspired by the wooded countryside setting. It brings a mountain retreat feel of peacefulness and tranquility.

“Lara understood exactly what we wanted, and she was able to find the perfect house plan to fit our budget…[Travars Built Homes] kept us informed throughout the entire process, and the final result was better than we could have ever hoped for… We would highly recommend Travars Built Homes to anyone looking to build their own custom home.” – J Mooney, Chatham County
“From the very start, Travars Built Homes took time to learn about our family and dreams for a custom built home in rural Chatham County. We found an initial floorplan we liked and made a number of major changes including addition of a dog room, expanding the width of the entire house, converting the garage to a large game room, and even creating roof access customized creativity to make hanging Christmas lights a much safer and fun. As the build progressed, the team customized the interior options to meet our hopes on so many levels…Travars has truly exceeded our expectations on the quality of our home…Truly, we can’t think Travars Built Homes enough for building our forever home.” – Stephen Ferguson, Chatham County
“In our home search, we found a Travars Built home under construction that met most of our criteria. Because we were looking for specific living spaces that were not in the original plan, the Travars team worked with us on several modifications/additions and completed our dream home. We have been in our home for just over a year and are so impressed with the custom features and quality of the build. Any issues we have had were minor and taken care of promptly. The quality of the construction is outstanding and the Travars team has been just as outstanding. We highly recommend Travars Built Homes!” – Tom Fiacco, Chatham County
