Timeless Features You Can Find in a John Houston Custom Home

Home design trends come and go but there are some features that remain timeless and desired throughout the years. At John Houston Custom Homes, we offer beautiful floor plans and elevations that are current and modern but also have features that can stand the test of time. Here are a few features that many of our plans offer that we feel help to make a house feel like a home today and in the years to come.
Open concept floor plans are a staple in our homes. While currently very popular in housing design, these types of floor plans help to create a home environment that is conducive to gathering and bringing people together. Shown here is our Providence model in 
The Grove in Midlothian and our Sandstone Ranch model, The Titus in Waxahachie.

Showcasing natural elements such as wood and stone can also be found in our homes in both the elevation and throughout the interior of the home. Natural elements stand the test of time and create a warm and inviting feeling within a home. Our   Summit Estates  model,   The Athens, seen below showcases gorgeous wood beams, hand scraped hard wood floors and wood built in shelves in the living room. Our   Willow Creek Crossing  model the   Jackson, has a stunning floor to ceiling, stone fire place with wood mantel as its focal point.

Lastly, natural lighting opens up a home, can create energy savings, and naturally improves mood. Our homes feature lots of natural lighting and further adds to the openness of the feel of the home. Beautiful windows also offer a positive design element adding to the overall aesthetic of the home.

This can be seen in the previous pictures as well as this master bedroom in our  Ashford Park  model,   The Columbus  and our breakfast nook in our   South Pointe  model,   The Carter.


Our homes feature many more elements that will help to create the perfect home for you to Build Your Story. To learn more about how you can build a John Houston Custom Homes home or choose from one of our available homes, call or visit our   website  today.
