Kitchen Luxuries

According to Newsweek, the average American spends more than an hour in their kitchen every day. Regardless of whether you spend hours cooking for yourself and your loved ones, or you only prefer to use the kitchen when you are hosting guests, there are several kitchen luxuries you will want to consider for your semi-custom home build.

While dating back to a design by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the open kitchen is still a jaw-dropping fixture of modern homes that shows no signs of fizzling out. By blending together the kitchen, living, and dining areas, the head-of-the-house can stay connected with family or friends while they prepare a meal (or cocktails).

A natural extension of the open kitchen is the kitchen island, which is a game-changer for the in-home chef or baking enthusiast with the extra counter space it provides. And if you really want to up the ante and make a statement with your kitchen, consider marble countertops, floating shelves, a farmhouse sink, or a tile backsplash.

Walk-In Shower, Free-Standing Tub, and More

Spacious bathrooms are in high-demand, and for one simple reason: Bigger bathrooms mean more room for luxury and practicality. 

One increasingly popular trend is how homeowners are choosing master bathroom plans that include both a free-standing tub and walk-in shower. Some are even trading the square footage that would have featured garden and jacuzzi tubs to make room for the bigger and better shower experience!

A few other bathroom trends that you will quickly grow accustomed to – and never turn back! – include double vanities, a separate toilet room, and more storage space.  

High Ceilings

A timeless home trend that immediately communicates style and class? The high ceiling. It not only pulls the eyes upward but also contributes to the living space’s overall aesthetic. Whether you want to draw attention to the fireplace, the exposed wooden beams, or a chandelier, the high ceiling gets the job done.

Vaulted ceilings create a triangular shape and are self-supported because they extend from the side walls. The high ceiling is associated with Gothic and Roman architecture and has been used for centuries in both traditional and modern spaces. Conventional ceilings can also be made into high ceilings and achieve the same goal. While most homes feature at least 9-foot ceilings, more luxury homes are opting for grand ceilings in the entryway and living area and 10- or 12-foot ceilings in bedrooms.

Mudroom

From children and pets running in-and-outdoors to messy work boots, there are so many reasons to consider incorporating a mudroom in your floor plan! Mudrooms are often built as the “catch-all room” for shoes, wet clothes, sports equipment, and – of course – mud when entering the home from the garage or side door.

The concept of the mudroom seems to have its origins in 1950s homes, but it really gained popularity in the 1980s when high-end homes prioritized the space as more than an entryway. As more and more homeowners learned of mudrooms’ lavish offerings, they began renovating and adding this space to their well-established homes – to the tune of $25,000 and up. The lesson? Don’t leave the mudroom out of your semi-custom floor plan, of course!

Today’s mudroom trends include sitting benches for removing shoes, hooks for coats and cubbies for extra storage, and even mini-showers and sinks for quick cleanup.

The post 4 Trends to Consider for Your Luxury Homes Plan appeared first on Turnberry Homes.

At Turnberry Homes, we could not agree more! Building the home of your dreams gives you more choices that will leave you satisfied with your purchase for years to come. As a semi-custom builder, we think it is helpful for home buyers to know the advantages of building a semi-custom home over a fully-custom home. 

Because, in the end, the effort it takes to build the home you want – and in the timespan you want it – can make all the difference! Here are the main factors to consider when choosing between building a luxury fully-custom or a semi-custom home: 

1. Property 
2. Floor Plans
3. Custom Details
4. Build Time
5. The Builder

Contact Turnberry Homes, the premier builder of elegant home and floor designs in the Greater Nashville area, about building your dream home. 

Property

Before building a custom home, you will need to purchase the land where you want to build, and you need to find a builder. If you already own the land, it will still require some site preparation, including the necessary local permits and approvals, arrangements for water, utilities, and septic, etc. 

In the case of a semi-custom home, a builder has already purchased land in a variety of locations ranging from private lots to sought-after neighborhoods; plus, the lot will already be prepped, staked, and approved for construction. At the same time, if you do have property you would like to build on, you always have the option to build a semi-custom home floor plan. 

Floor Plans

For a fully-custom home, you first will need to hire an architect and a home builder to create your floor plan. You can provide your own sketches and discuss everything you want, from the square footage to one-of-a-kind design features. After the plans are drawn and you’ve signed your approval, a licensed engineer will then need to approve the floor plan as structurally sound. Understandably, this process takes time, patience, and a flexible budget. 

Semi-custom floor plans, on the other hand, are already drawn up, approved, and on-the-books for you to choose from. Think of it as new construction that is waiting for you to say, “I can see myself living here.” Luxury floor plans also include grand and open spaces, large and beautiful windows for lots of natural light, and thoughtful uses of space like luxurious master suites and oversized closets. 

Custom Details 

Building a home that is fully-custom means, well, making every decision! Don’t be surprised when the builder or architect asks questions – and lots of them – about specifications, alterations, materials, finishes, colors, trim, etc. 

While “customizing” a semi-custom home does not mean you can change the structural elements of the floor plan, it does mean you have plenty of room to customize your other preferences! Think about all the selections you can make about: flooring finishes, light fixtures, high-end appliances, countertop materials, paint colors, and more. And, it is still considered a luxury project; your home’s style will be entirely unique to you.  

Build Time

On average, a custom home build will take anywhere from six months to a year or more, from start to finish. And that doesn’t include the prior planning stages we mentioned earlier with your builder and architect!

Hiring a semi-custom builder and design firm, however, can cut your building time in half. This is because the land is (likely) ready to break ground, the floor plan is solidified, and customization will be on the tail-end of the build. 

The Builder

Turnberry Homes prides ourselves in being as close to a custom home builder as you can get. Trusting us with your home means choosing the luxury plan that best fits your family, customizing it with our interior design team, and watching the exceptional design and craftsmanship become your home!

The post Luxury Home Building: Semi-Custom versus Fully-Custom appeared first on Turnberry Homes.

Newcomers from around the country are flocking to the city, but out-of-towners and locals alike are debating where in the city, specifically, to settle down and build their dream homes. The metro is constantly changing, and some individuals are wary of building in a neighborhood that could experience significant shifts in the near future. 

The truth is, Nashville offers many established and developing neighborhoods to choose from!

Whether you are looking to be in close proximity to downtown, within walking distance of parks and local eateries, or a few miles from the hustle and bustle, Turnberry Homes has compiled a list of the best Nashville neighborhoods to build your luxury home. 

Turnberry Homes is the premier builder of luxury homes in the Greater Nashville Area, and we’ve been doing it for more than 30 years. Contact us today!

Belle Meade 

Incorporated as its own city, Belle Meade is a three-square-mile lush landscape of private estates located a few miles southwest of Downtown Nashville. In the 1800s, the area became known for raising thoroughbred race horses, and later for its pre-prohibition bourbon whiskey. 

While enveloped by Nashville, the City of Belle Meade gives residents a feeling they are living in a rural area, even boasting its own police department. The Cheekwood botanical gardens, Belle Meade Winery, and Percy Warner Park are fixtures in the community. 

Brentwood

Nestled in the quiet space between Nashville and Franklin is the City of Brentwood, an affluent suburb of less than 50,000 people but still considered part of the Nashville metropolitan area. It is a safe and friendly community of both historic and newly developed homes of every shape and size. 

At the same time, Brentwood is known for luxury. Throughout the city and along its perimeter are sprawling estates and custom-built mansions that are only minutes from the best dining and entertainment experiences of Nashville. A few coveted areas to live include Glen Abbey, The Laurels, Sonoma, and Hampton Reserve.

Franklin

Almost as popular a tourist destination as Nashville and the county seat of Williamson County, Franklin is as historic as it is modern. For example, The Factory, a century-old manufacturing facility, has been flipped into a unique shopping and entertainment experience. Downtown Franklin is the picture of Southern life, with coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques residing behind brick walls. 

As for the housing scene, Franklin offers farmland, neighborhoods, and estates to aspiring residents, as well as desirable schools and community offerings. The FirstBank amphitheater in Franklin has hosted performances by the Jonas Brothers, Halsey, Miranda Lambert, and more.

Green Hills

A neighbor and comparable choice to Belle Meade is Green Hills. Those who have visited The Bluebird Cafe to catch a glimpse of celebrity and up-and-coming songwriters may be familiar with the area, which is also home to Lipscomb University and the Mall at Green Hills. 

One of the most desirable neighborhoods in Nashville, Green Hills features premier shopping, dozens of high-end and locally-owned restaurants and bars, as well as easy access to major thoroughfares I-65 and I-440.  

West Meade

Another excellent neighborhood to consider putting down roots is West Meade. Like the name suggests, this mostly residential neighborhood sits adjacent to Belle Meade and is bordered by I-40 and Highway 70. 

Much of West Meade’s more dated properties are being sold for their property value and leveled to make room for brand new homes, homes that will be situated on sprawling lawns within Nashville’s city limits. It is an ideal place to raise a family as the neighborhood is close by to private and public schools, delicious eateries, and local shopping favorites like Trader Joe’s, ALDI, and Costco.

If choosing your home’s builder lays the foundation for the memories you will make there, how in the world do you choose the right builder? 

Here are our recommendations for finding the builder that will leave you the most satisfied with your home – and for many years to come! 

1. Experience Is Key
2. What’s Your Budget?
3. Do You Like Their Style?
4. Location, Location, Location

At Turnberry Homes, we have been building luxury homes in Nashville for more than 30 years. Contact us today with any questions you have about building your dream home! 

Experience Is Key

A luxury home project is not for the rookie builder by any means! Unlocking the door to your dream home requires someone with years of experience. Builders who are well-established in the community ultimately leave a trail of satisfied customers behind them and accumulate a Rolodex of quality vendors they can call upon for future projects. 

From a logistical standpoint, entrusting your home to an experienced builder means a more efficient build timeline, without sacrificing quality craftsmanship, and access to those luxurious materials you’ve always wanted to incorporate in your home.   

What’s Your Budget? 

Speaking of luxury – “Luxury” does not have to mean unaffordable! For many people in today’s market, building is actually the best option financially. And, the right home builder will offer a range of floor plans and customization options that can be scaled to your budget. 

As the buyer, you simply have to determine what your budget is, and discuss your options with the contractor and interior design team. At Turnberry Homes, we work with our customers to build a home that fits their family’s needs and customize it with materials, finishes, and appliances that fit the budget. In fact, this is the beauty of semi-custom homes! 

Do You Like Their Style? 

This may seem like an obvious question, but have you done your research on the home builder’s past projects? While no luxury home builder should be put in a box, most have perfected and played with variations of a certain style – which is exactly what makes them the expert at what they do. 

But don’t just look at the builder’s portfolio! Take a tour of the model homes they have available for showing so you can see the quality of their work up-close. This way you can also meet the builder and interior designers, ask questions, and learn more about their approach. Besides, style is more than a finished product: It’s a process! 

Location, Location, Location

Where do you see yourself settling down, raising your family, or retiring? Do you prefer extra privacy over having neighbors next door? Would you rather be within city limits or in the countryside? Based on your preferences, you will want to find a home builder that has already acquired property in that area. 

This is why Turnberry Homes provides options in a variety of communities for customers who vary in their preferences! With us, you can choose more than your floor plan. Choose the neighborhood with the amenities, lot size, and surrounding community that you want to call home. In the Greater Nashville area, we build in bedroom communities like Brentwood, Cool Springs, Franklin, and Nolensville that are just a short drive to the city. 

Each Turnberry community features a fully decorated and staffed model home. Come see for yourself!
