The Moore Family's Custom Farmhouse

Get ready to fall in love with this stunning custom home in Waller County! Drawing inspiration from the Canyon model in Bryan, Texas, the Moore family has created a space flooded with natural light and rustic charm. From the customized glass-faced cabinetry to the spacious covered back patio, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to make this home truly special. Keep reading to uncover more about this amazing property and its standout features.

A Carefully Thought-Out Floorplan From Scratch

The Moore family already had a floor plan when they came in to meet with Tanya at our Spring Design Center. Working off of the Abilene C floorplan, Tanya added the customizations to match the Moore's floorplan. After a few adjustments, such as adding an additional back door to the utility room and a screened-in dining area to the back of the home, they were ready to sign off on their plans and start construction! The square footage of the home ended up at a total of 2,333sqft.

Exceptional Features Throughout

As you approach the Moore farmhouse, you are greeted by a spacious and inviting front porch. The Moore's wanted their front porch to feature a Dorble (a custom Tilson combination of a dormer and a gable) with space to sit and enjoy the views. When you enter the home, you're welcomed into an open living space with lots of light pouring in through the windows and views all the way through to the back patio. A brick and rough-sawn wood archway leads you from the dining area into the kitchen, adding a touch of lived-in and well-loved character to the space. The kitchen is a dream come true for anyone who loves to cook, with ample storage, a large island, and one wall featuring built-in glass-faced upper cabinets to showcase the family's china in lieu of a traditional china cabinet.

In addition to large windows, the living room boasts an electric fireplace with a shiplap surround. Keith Moore constructed this gorgeous addition himself after their closing, using shiplap and leftover brick from the archway. Now, the once-bar wall is brought to life with a touch of rustic charm. Better yet, the family can now enjoy the cozy glow of a fire year-round, without worrying about added heat. It's the perfect setting for cozy nights or entertaining guests.

On one side of the fireplace, you'll find two guest bedrooms and a full bathroom, adorned with shiplap and floor-to-ceiling tile. On the other side is a spacious study, with plenty of room for an office as well as a designated craft area. This split-living design is both functional and beautiful, offering privacy for guests and a quiet space to work from home or relax.

On the opposite side of the home are the drop zone, utility room, powder bathroom, and master suite. The master bedroom is a true retreat, with a soaring cathedral ceiling and large windows. The spacious, spa-like bathroom features two separate vanities, his-and-her closets, and a walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile and a river rock floor. Every detail was carefully chosen to ensure maximum relaxation and comfort, making it the perfect spot to unwind. Plus, the layout of the master bathroom conveniently leads you back to the utility and drop zone, making laundry or grabbing something from the garage a breeze.

An Outdoor Oasis

One of the most impressive features of the Moore family's home is the spacious rear covered porch. To your left, a large screened-in porch awaits with a dining table ready for gatherings, accentuated by a classic "slamming" door. Bug-free outdoor dining is made accessible through a separate entrance near the kitchen. On the other side, a charming outdoor wood-burning fireplace with a beautiful brick face and hearth, as well as plenty of cozy seating. The Moore family has truly created an outdoor living retreat that can be enjoyed year-round.

The Moore family's beautiful white farmhouse is a true testament to their style and taste.
