The Comal Creek - Custom Plan Selections & Design Features

Written by Kurk Homes | Sep 30, 2022 2:11:12 PM

One of our most popular floor plans, the Comal Creek home design has loads of space in the downstairs with future space in the upstairs including a game room, a full bathroom, and a bedroom. Many iterations of this home have been built for Kurk Home's clients and each have been customized to their liking.

The mud entry from the garage has built-ins, a powder room, and a large utility room that has a conveniently designed door into the master closet.

The master suite is beautifully designed with a huge walk-in shower, a standalone bathtub, large wrap-around vanities with a knee space dividing the two.

This stunning home combines both our Texas Hill Country and Modern Farmhouse build styles to create a unique and inviting exterior that incorporates the surrounding nature. Our home builder design team chose cohesive exterior selections including a stucco finish made to look like  board and batten siding along with a mahogany front door helps this home feel warm and welcome. See a comprehensive list of the exterior selections below.

Exterior Selections:

Being built as our model home and design center, we went with finishes, paints, and stains that we knew our Hill Country buyers would love. Featuring neutral colors that compliment the surrounding nature and interior wood, we were able to bring in the outdoor feel throughout the home.

When designing your home, we walk with you every step of the way to ensure you're happy with your investment. With the details below, you can match this style or create your own perfect home with a custom floor plan.

Double 5-panel sliding barn doors adorn the outside of the study sharing a wall with the entrance of the home. 

 

The bathrooms in this home all have their own design and aesthetic. From the cabinetry stains and counters to the flooring and light fixtures, each bathroom is unique with its own personality.

Set back a bit from the entrance of the home, the living room is highlighted with large panels of glass butted together allowing an unobstructed view of the natural mesquite trees scattered throughout the hill country. 

The living area is open to the eat-in kitchen island and breakfast room, and both the living and breakfast areas contain floor to ceiling windows opening the view to the huge covered patio and beyond.

The island at the center of the space doubles as an eat-in kitchen with seating available.

With a centrally located fireplace, the home has separate wings for the guest suite, with access to the covered patio, and the master suite, which also has access to the covered patio and outdoor kitchen.
