Olmstead Place

3582 sq ft | 4-5 Beds | 4 Baths | First Floor Guest Suite | Opt. Third Floor Apartment

The Olmstead Place is a charming Craftsman cottage with thoughtful detail and modern livability. A mix of horizontal lap siding, shakes, and board-and-batten creates a welcoming exterior, accented by dark window sashes for bold contrast and timeless appeal.

Inside, the rear of the home is completely open—flooded with light and designed for connection. The kitchen, dining, and living areas blend seamlessly, while a first-floor guest suite provides flexibility for visitors or a home office.

Upstairs, the spacious owner’s suite is joined by two secondary bedrooms and a large laundry room with folding space and utility sink. The bonus room can serve as a playroom, media space, or fifth bedroom.

Top it all off with an optional third-floor apartment suite—complete with bedroom, bath, and game room—or customize it to suit your lifestyle.

      Studio Spaces and Family Suites: Versatile Living | On Your Lot Builder

      Posted by tbhadmin on

      When you’re building a custom home on your lot in Chatham, Lee, Alamance, or surrounding counties, having a dedicated space that adapts to your lifestyle can make all the difference. At Travars Built Homes, we build custom floor plans with Studio Spaces and Family Suites that provide privacy, flexibility, and functionality — perfect for the way you live, work, and relax.

      Why Include a Studio Space or Family Suite?

      • Privacy and Separation: A Studio Space or Family Suite located away from main living areas can be the ideal setting for a home office, guest quarters, or creative workspace.
      • Multi-Use Flexibility: Whether it’s a playroom for the kids, a home gym, or a personal retreat, these rooms can evolve as your needs change.
      • Resale Value: Adding a well-designed Family Suite or Studio Space increases your home’s appeal, giving future buyers versatile options for guests, in-laws, or rental income.

      Featured Floor Plans with Studio Spaces and Family Suites

      Explore these custom home plans that prioritize separation and multi-purpose living:

      • Harper’s Ferry: This modern farmhouse design includes a spacious Studio Space on the upper level, ideal for a nanny suite, craft room, or home theater.
      • Settlers Ridge: With its separate rear stairway entry, the upper-level Family Suite provides an expansive, private area for guests, teens, or in-laws — complete with a covered porch for added living space.
      • Seneca Falls: A breezeway connects the detached garage to the main home, leading to a thoughtfully designed Studio Space. Use it as a home office, art studio, or private guest retreat.
