A Rare Opportunity in Firethorn: Build Your Custom Home on a Premier Golf Course Lot

A Rare Opportunity in Firethorn: Build Your Custom Home on a Premier Golf Course Lot

Back 9 Views. A Thoughtful Homesite. A Place to Build What’s Next.

There are certain opportunities that don’t come around often—and when they do, they deserve a closer look.

This 0.39-acre homesite in Firethorn offers just that. Positioned along the back 9 of the Championship Course, this lot combines scenic golf course views with the kind of space and setting that allows for a truly intentional home.

Offered at $550,000, it’s more than just land—it’s a starting point.

A Setting That Shapes the Way You Live

Living in Firethorn means being surrounded by more than just beautiful homes. It’s a community built around connection, recreation, and a shared appreciation for quality.

From early morning rounds to quiet evenings overlooking the course, the back 9 offers a unique balance of activity and calm. The views stretch further. The pace feels different. And the setting naturally lends itself to a home that embraces both indoor and outdoor living.

This lot gives you the ability to design around that experience—not work around limitations.

Designed With Intention, Built With Precision

At True North Custom Homes, every project begins the same way: with a clear understanding of how you want to live.

This homesite provides the flexibility to bring that vision to life. Whether that means maximizing natural light, creating seamless transitions to outdoor spaces, or designing a layout that fits your day-to-day routines, the opportunity starts here.

Our process is built to remove uncertainty and replace it with clarity—from initial design concepts and detailed estimating to construction and final walkthrough. The goal is simple: deliver a home that feels considered at every level.

Why the Back 9 Matters

There’s a subtle difference to homes on the back 9—and it’s something you notice over time.

The views feel more expansive. The surroundings feel more established. And there’s a rhythm to the course that creates both energy and privacy in the right moments.

It’s not just about where the lot sits. It’s about how it lives.

A Limited Opportunity in a Coveted Community

Lots like this—on the course, with this positioning, in a community like Firethorn—are increasingly hard to find.

For those considering building now, or even planning ahead, securing the right homesite is one of the most important decisions in the process. It sets the foundation for everything that follows.

Start the Conversation

If you’ve been thinking about building in Firethorn, this is a rare opportunity to begin with the right piece of ground.

The Phoenix: Designed for Everyday Ease, Elevated Living

At True North Custom Homes, every home we build reflects the lifestyle, priorities, and personality of the homeowners who will live there. The Phoenix is a stunning example of thoughtful design meeting everyday functionality. Nestled on a beautiful acreage, this 4,102 finished-square-foot home was carefully crafted to provide comfort, convenience, and year-round entertainment while embracing the natural surroundings.

Featuring 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a 3-stall garage , The Phoenix blends intentional layout planning with distinctive features that elevate daily living. While this home is presold, it perfectly illustrates how True North transforms ideas into highly personalized spaces that support how families truly live.

A Great Room Built for Connection

The heart of The Phoenix is its expansive great room, where soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams create a warm yet grand atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of the acreage, allowing natural light to flood the space while maintaining a seamless connection to the outdoors.

A striking stone fireplace serves as the room's focal point, paired with custom-built-in storage that provides visual balance. The open-concept layout encourages effortless flow between living spaces, creating the perfect environment for hosting guests, spending time with family, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home.

Designed for Seamless Everyday Living

One of the most practical and homeowner-loved features in The Phoenix is the “Costco door.” This convenient pass-through connects the garage directly to the pantry, allowing groceries and bulk purchases to be unloaded quickly and efficiently. It is a small detail that delivers a significant impact on everyday routines, demonstrating how intentional design can simplify life.

The kitchen and dining areas continue the home’s focus on connection and functionality. The double-sided fireplace, shared between the great room and dining room, creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere while visually tying the spaces together. This thoughtful feature allows homeowners and guests to enjoy the warmth and ambiance from multiple vantage points, enhancing both daily meals and special gatherings.

Year-Round Recreation and Entertainment

The Phoenix was designed with recreation in mind, featuring a private golf simulator room that lets homeowners practice their swing year-round. Whether refining technique, entertaining friends, or introducing family members to the game, this space transforms leisure time into a year-round experience.

Spaces like these highlight the True North philosophy that a home should reflect its owners' hobbies, passions, and lifestyle. By incorporating personalized features during the design process, homeowners can create spaces that support both relaxation and entertainment without ever leaving home.

Thoughtful Comfort Across Every Space

With three spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, The Phoenix balances privacy with comfort. Each area of the home was intentionally planned to maximize livability while maintaining the elevated craftsmanship and detail for which True North is known. From the carefully selected finishes to the efficient layout, every element was curated to ensure long-term enjoyment and functionality.

Bringing Your Vision to Life

Although The Phoenix has already found its homeowners, it represents what is possible when personalized design meets expert craftsmanship. At True North Custom Homes, our process is built around collaboration, transparency, and guiding homeowners through every step of the building journey.

If you are ready to begin designing a home that reflects your lifestyle, passions, and long-term goals, our team is here to help bring your vision to life.

The Nystrom: A Modern, Light-Filled Custom Home on the Firethorn Golf Course

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 16:05:51 GMT

The Nystrom: A Modern, Light-Filled Custom Home on the Firethorn Golf Course

4 Beds | 4.5 Baths | 4-Stall Garage | 5,335 Finished Sq. Ft.

Designing a custom home means creating a place where everyday life, family connection, and personal style come together with purpose. The Nystrom embodies that mission. Built for a family who envisioned a modern sanctuary with thoughtful spaces for hosting, gathering, and enjoying the scenic beauty of the Firethorn Golf Course, this home delivers both high-end craftsmanship and timeless livability. With more than 5,300 finished square feet, abundant natural light, and intentional design throughout, The Nystrom stands as a warm, welcoming retreat tailored to the rhythms of real family life.

A Modern Design Framed by Natural Light

From the moment you step inside, The Nystrom feels open, bright, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Expansive windows frame sweeping views of the Firethorn Golf Course, allowing daylight to flow through each room while maintaining a comfortable, contemporary aesthetic. Clean lines, elevated finishes, and purposeful spatial planning define the home’s modern character without sacrificing warmth. Every detail, from the materials to the layout, contributes to a sense of calm, clarity, and balance.

Spaces Designed for Connection

Because this home was crafted for a family, gathering spaces play a central role in its design. The main-level living areas offer a natural, welcoming flow ideal for hosting holidays, weekend visits, and everyday moments. A walk-in pantry supports a well-organized kitchen, making entertaining smooth and efficient. Outside, a full outdoor kitchen extends the home’s hosting capabilities, allowing the family to enjoy meals, celebrations, and quiet evenings surrounded by peaceful course views.

One of the most meaningful additions is the toy room, intentionally created for the grandchildren. This dedicated space offers flexibility, imagination, and play, giving younger family members a place to feel at home while strengthening family connections across generations.

Elevated Private Spaces for Everyday Living

The Nystrom includes a remarkable primary suite featuring a massive walk-in closet with custom shelving and a central island. This space blends beauty and functionality, offering organization, practicality, and a sense of luxury woven into everyday routines. The four and a half bathrooms and four total bedrooms provide space for family members and guests alike, ensuring comfort, privacy, and a thoughtful flow throughout the upper and lower levels.

The home office is another standout feature. Designed with custom shelving and storage, it serves as a quiet place for productivity while still capturing natural light and serene golf course views. Whether used for remote work, planning, or creative pursuits, it reinforces the home’s emphasis on harmony between function and aesthetics.

Crafted for a Family, Not for the Market

The Nystrom is not for sale. It was created specifically for a family seeking an elevated yet approachable home where memories could be made for years to come. Every detail reflects that intention. Rather than being built to showcase a trend or appeal to the broadest audience, it was shaped to meet the needs, lifestyle, and vision of the people who now call it home.

A Reflection of True Custom Craftsmanship

The Nystrom demonstrates what is possible when creativity, clarity, and collaboration guide the homebuilding process. From custom cabinetry to exterior living spaces, every inch of this home reflects the careful craftsmanship and precise execution that define True North Custom Homes.

If the Nystrom inspires you and you are envisioning a home tailored to your family, lifestyle, and vision, our team is ready to help you begin.

We are excited to announce that The Bear has officially been completed and the keys have been handed over to the family who now gets to call it home.

Its open floor plan creates a perfect flow for entertaining, while private retreats throughout the home ensure comfort and functionality.

The Sterling: A Showcase of Elevated Ranch Living

We’re proud to unveil The Sterling, a home that embodies the craftsmanship, innovation, and elegance that True North Custom Homes is known for. Situated on a sprawling 1.88-acre lot in Roca, Nebraska, this expansive ranch-style residence has officially been completed and sold, but it remains a shining example of what’s possible when every detail is intentional.

With 5,736 finished square feet, The Sterling offers 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a spacious 4-stall garage. But what truly sets this home apart is how it blends function and luxury in every square foot.

Step inside and you're greeted by soaring 12-foot ceilings in the entryway and living room, giving the main living space a sense of openness. Throughout the rest of the main floor, 10-foot ceilings maintain that elevated feel while creating warmth and flow from room to room. Off the living area, full length sliding glass doors open to a covered back patio, perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying Nebraska sunsets.

The heart of the home lies in the kitchen, where a hidden walk-in pantry keeps clutter tucked away without compromising style.

One of The Sterling’s most unique features is found just below the surface: a half-size sports court in the basement, visible from the dining room above. It’s a playful and practical addition for active families, seamlessly integrated into the design of the home.

The primary suite is its own private retreat, with thoughtful details like heated tile floors in the bathroom, a walk-in shower, a large soaking tub, and an expansive walk-in closet. Homeowners will also enjoy the convenience of a private laundry station within the closet, complete with hookups for a stacked washer and dryer.

Though this home has already been sold, The Sterling is a bold representation of what we build at True North, homes that reflect lifestyle, purpose, and personality. If you missed your chance to tour this Parade home, don’t worry. We’re always building something extraordinary.

Let's Create a Home That Shines During the Holidays and Beyond

info@truenorthlincoln.com (Sam Swartz) — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 18:24:02 GMT

Let's Create a Home That Shines During the Holidays and Beyond

The holidays are a time of joy, celebration, and creating cherished memories with loved ones. They’re also a time when the everyday flow of your home is put to the test. Between hosting family dinners, accommodating overnight guests, and finding space for holiday activities, the season often highlights areas in your home that could work better for your needs.

If you found yourself juggling too many tasks in a cramped kitchen, struggling to create a cozy yet functional space for guests, or wishing you had more room to entertain, you’re not alone. The holidays have a way of revealing the gaps in our home’s design and layout.

Here are some of the most common inefficiencies homeowners notice during the holidays and how thoughtful design can solve them:

1. Crowded Kitchens

For many, the kitchen is the heart of holiday gatherings. But if your kitchen feels more like a traffic jam than a culinary haven, it’s time to rethink the layout.

Solution: An open-concept design with ample counter space and strategic storage can make hosting a breeze. Consider features like an oversized island for food prep and serving or a walk-in pantry to keep essentials organized and accessible.

2. Guest Space Challenges

Accommodating overnight guests can be tricky if you lack a designated space for them to stay. Pull-out sofas and makeshift sleeping arrangements might work in a pinch, but they don’t always make for a comfortable experience.

Solution: A well-designed guest suite or multipurpose room can provide the comfort and privacy your guests deserve. Features like en-suite bathrooms, cozy seating, and thoughtful decor can make visitors feel right at home.

3. Tight Gathering Areas

Whether it’s a large family dinner or a casual gift exchange, a lack of flexible gathering spaces can put a damper on the festivities.

Solution: Expanding your main living area or incorporating indoor-outdoor spaces can create the perfect setting for hosting. Sliding glass doors that open to a patio or deck can seamlessly extend your entertaining area and bring the outdoors in.

4. Storage Woes

The holidays often come with an influx of decorations, gifts, and supplies, which can quickly overwhelm your storage options.

Solution: Custom storage solutions, like built-in shelving or under-stair storage, can help keep everything organized and within reach. Mudrooms with cubbies for coats, boots, and bags are also a game-changer during the winter season.

5. Energy Inefficiencies

High energy bills or drafts during the colder months are common complaints during the holiday season.

Solution: Upgrading your home’s insulation, windows, and HVAC system can make your home more energy-efficient and comfortable, saving you money in the long run.

Reflect and Plan Ahead

The start of a new year is the perfect time to think about how your home can better serve your needs—not just during the holidays but every day. Imagine a home where the kitchen is your favorite place to entertain, guests have their own private retreat, and storage challenges are a thing of the past.

At True North Custom Homes INC., we specialize in creating homes that work for your lifestyle. We can help you design a space that’s beautiful, functional, and ready for the next holiday season.

Ready to Get Started?

Let’s talk about your vision for a more efficient home. Contact us today for a consultation and take the first step toward making your home holiday-ready all year long.

Does Skipping a Finished Basement Save Money?

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 15:00:01 GMT

Does Skipping a Finished Basement Save Money?

Opting not to finish your basement during the initial construction phase can reduce upfront costs, but it’s important to weigh the long-term implications. At True North Custom Homes, we help you evaluate the pros and cons of this decision based on your budget and lifestyle.

While skipping the finished basement may lower costs initially, it’s often more cost-effective to complete it during the build rather than as a future project. Factors like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems are already in place, saving time and money down the road.

We’ll work with you to find the right balance, ensuring your custom home meets both your current needs and future plans.

This timeline ensures that material costs, contractor availability, and other factors remain stable during the planning process. We’ll communicate this timeframe clearly, giving you the opportunity to review your options and ask any final questions.

By maintaining an open and transparent process, we help you make this important decision with confidence, knowing every detail has been considered.

When to Start Making Selections for Your Custom Home

Making selections for your custom home is an exciting part of the process, but timing is everything. At True North Custom Homes, we guide you through a structured timeline, ensuring each choice is made at the right stage to keep your project on track.

Early decisions include structural elements like windows and roofing, while interior finishes like flooring and cabinetry come later. This phased approach allows you to focus on each detail without feeling overwhelmed.

By starting selections early and following a clear schedule, you’ll enjoy a seamless process that ensures every element of your home is just right.

Should You Own a Lot Before Beginning Your Build?

Sat, 11 Jan 2025 15:00:01 GMT

Should You Own a Lot Before Beginning Your Build?

While owning a lot before starting the building process can streamline the journey, it’s not a requirement when working with True North Custom Homes. If you don’t yet have a lot, we can help you find one that aligns with your vision and project goals.

Our team offers expertise in evaluating lots for buildability, location benefits, and long-term value. Whether you’re starting from scratch or already own land, we’ll ensure your lot is the perfect foundation for your dream home.

Starting your custom home project at the right time can make all the difference. At True North Custom Homes, we recommend beginning the planning process as early as possible, ideally six to twelve months before you hope to start construction.

This timeline allows for careful design, budgeting, and permitting while ensuring your project is ready to break ground when conditions are optimal. Spring and summer are popular times for construction, but planning in the fall or winter ensures you’re ahead of the seasonal rush.

Building a Legacy: The Wyatt Family's Dream Lake Home with True North Custom Homes

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:00:03 GMT

The Wyatt Family’s Dream Lake Home: A Legacy in the Making

Doug and Kathy Wyatt had a vision: a home that would serve as a gathering place for their growing family, nestled on a beautiful lake property with peaceful views. After three years of planning and searching for the right builder, they chose True North Custom Homes to bring their dream to life.

At 3,558 finished square feet , the Wyatt home is designed for both function and connection, featuring 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms , and a four-stall garage . Positioned perfectly between two lakes, the open design captures breathtaking views of the water from nearly every angle. Expansive deck and patio spaces provide the ideal spots to relax, entertain, and enjoy sunsets that stretch across the horizon.

The home’s thoughtful layout reflects the Wyatt family’s desire for gathering and hosting loved ones. From the great room with its soaring windows to the garage built for large gatherings, every detail was carefully considered to create a space where memories will be made for generations to come. “We wanted a place for our family to congregate and enjoy the lake and each other’s company,” Kathy shared.

A particularly meaningful moment during the building process came after the framing was complete. Doug and Kathy’s children and grandchildren walked through the home, writing Bible verses in different areas of the house. This special touch transformed the home into more than just a physical space—it became a reflection of their family’s faith, love, and values.

“We took our time to find the perfect property and the perfect builder,” Doug said. “True North’s team guided us every step of the way and helped us create something truly special.” The Wyatt family’s journey reminds us that a dream home isn’t just about the walls and windows—it’s about creating a legacy, a place where generations can gather, grow, and make memories.

Building vs. Buying: What’s the Best Option for You

Deciding whether to build or buy a home depends on your priorities. Buying an existing home offers convenience and speed, but it may require compromises in layout, style, or location.

Building a custom home, while a longer process, allows you to create a space that perfectly matches your vision and needs. From the layout to the finishes, every detail is yours to decide, ensuring a home that truly feels like your own.

Where to Live While Building Your Home: Pros and Cons

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 15:00:02 GMT

Where to Live While Building Your Home: Pros and Cons

Building a custom home means deciding where to live during the construction process. Options range from renting an apartment to staying in your current home or even a temporary setup like a townhome or ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit).

Staying in your current home can save money, but it may require flexibility with timing. Renting provides more certainty but adds an extra expense. For those building on their existing property, temporary housing solutions like an ADU offer convenience.

At True North Custom Homes, we’re here to help you weigh these options and choose what works best for your timeline, budget, and comfort.

The Best Time of Year to Build Your Home in Nebraska

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 15:00:02 GMT

The Best Time of Year to Build Your Home in Nebraska

The best time to start building your home in Nebraska often depends on weather conditions and your project’s specific needs. Spring and summer are ideal for breaking ground, as milder weather supports smooth site preparation and construction progress.

However, planning during the winter months can be advantageous. This allows time for design, permits, and material selection so construction can begin as soon as conditions improve. Additionally, off-season planning may result in faster turnaround times with contractors and suppliers.

At True North Custom Homes, we help you determine the ideal timeline based on your goals, ensuring a seamless and efficient building process.

Top Ways to Improve Home Efficiency and Reduce Costs

info@truenorthlincoln.com (Sam Swartz) — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 16:07:06 GMT

7 Smart Strategies to Maximize Home Efficiency and Save Energy

Maximizing Efficiency in Your Home: Smart Tips for a Sustainable Lifestyle

Efficiency isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the key to creating a home that saves you time, money, and energy. Whether you’re building your dream home or looking to upgrade your current space, incorporating efficiency-focused strategies can transform your home into a haven of functionality and sustainability.

Here’s how you can maximize efficiency in your home without compromising on style or comfort:

1. Optimize Your Layout for Functionality

A well-thought-out floor plan is the foundation of an efficient home. Consider how you move through your space daily. Features like an open-concept kitchen and living area or centralized storage solutions can reduce wasted steps and make life more convenient.

If you’re building a new home, work with our designer to incorporate multi-functional spaces that serve dual purposes, like a guest room with a built-in Murphy bed or a home office that doubles as a study nook.

2. Invest in Smart Home Technology

Smart technology doesn’t just add modern flair—it also streamlines your daily routines. Programmable thermostats, smart lighting, and energy-monitoring devices can help you cut costs and reduce energy waste.

For example, a smart thermostat learns your temperature preferences and adjusts automatically, ensuring your home stays comfortable without unnecessary energy use. Similarly, smart plugs and appliances let you manage your home from your smartphone, giving you control wherever you are.

3. Choose Energy-Efficient Materials and Appliances

Energy efficiency starts with the materials you choose. Consider double-paned windows, insulated doors, and high-efficiency HVAC systems to reduce heat loss and energy bills.

Upgrade to ENERGY STAR-certified appliances, which use significantly less energy and water than their traditional counterparts. Over time, these investments pay off, saving you money while reducing your environmental impact.

4. Incorporate Sustainable Design Features

Sustainability and efficiency often go hand in hand. Solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and low-flow plumbing fixtures can make your home more eco-friendly and cost-efficient.

Additionally, passive design principles like strategically placed windows for natural light and proper ventilation reduce reliance on artificial lighting and air conditioning, making your home more self-sustaining.

5. Simplify Your Storage Systems

An organized home is an efficient home. Custom-built cabinetry, modular storage solutions, and creative use of space can keep clutter at bay. Consider pull-out pantry shelves, under-stair storage, or built-in furniture for a streamlined look and maximum functionality.

6. Design for Durability and Low Maintenance

Efficiency isn’t just about energy—it’s also about reducing time spent on upkeep. Select durable materials like quartz countertops, composite decking, and high-quality flooring that require minimal maintenance.

By investing in long-lasting finishes, you’ll save money and effort in the long run.

7. Collaborate with Experts

Working with a team of professionals who understand efficiency-focused design is crucial. From architects and builders to interior designers like our in-house design team, professionals can bring your vision to life while integrating features that improve efficiency and elevate aesthetics.

Create an Efficient Home with Purpose

Efficiency goes beyond gadgets and upgrades—it’s about creating a home that fits your lifestyle and supports your goals. By prioritizing smart design and sustainable solutions, you can build a space that is not only beautiful but also functional and future-ready.

Are you ready to make your home more efficient? True North Custom Homes can help bring your vision to life with innovative designs tailored to your needs. Contact us today to start planning your efficient dream home!

Spec Homes vs. Custom Homes: Which is Right for You

Spec Homes vs. Custom Homes: Which is Right for You

Choosing between a spec home and a custom home depends on your priorities and lifestyle. Spec homes offer the convenience of pre-designed spaces, often ready for immediate move-in. However, they may lack the personalization and unique features that truly make a house feel like home.

Custom homes, on the other hand, provide complete control over every detail, from layout to finishes. While the process takes more time, it results in a home that perfectly reflects your style, needs, and future goals.

At True North Custom Homes, we’re here to help you weigh the options and decide which approach best aligns with your vision for the perfect home.

Factors That Can Affect Your Homebuilding Timeline

Building a custom home is an exciting journey, but timelines can vary depending on several factors. At True North Custom Homes, we strive to keep projects on schedule while navigating challenges like weather, permitting delays, or changes in design.

The complexity of your home’s design and the availability of materials can also influence the timeline. Custom details and high-end finishes may require more time to source and install, but the result is well worth the wait. Additionally, factors like site preparation and unexpected conditions, such as soil issues, can impact progress.

With careful planning, proactive communication, and flexibility, we work to minimize delays while ensuring every detail of your home is completed to the highest standards.

True North Custom Homes Featured on Rent.com: Highlighting Lincoln’s Hidden Gems

We’re thrilled to share that True North Custom Homes was recently featured in a blog on Rent.com! The article dives into unique attractions in Lincoln, NE, and we had the pleasure of spotlighting two of our favorite local landmarks: Robber’s Cave and the Sunken Gardens.

We were named an expert in a Rent. article. Check out the featured article: 4 Unique Things to Do in Lincoln, NE | Rent.

Rent is a subsidiary of Redfin.com

Exploring Lincoln’s History: Robber’s Cave

As recommended by our own Teghan Metcalf, Robber’s Cave is a must-visit destination. Nestled on the southwest side of Lincoln, this historic spot is steeped in fascinating stories. From its use in the Underground Railroad to being the site of Lincoln’s first brewery, Robber’s Cave has played a pivotal role in shaping the city’s history.

In 2020, it received national recognition as a National Historic Place by the National Register. And if you visit during the holidays, you’ll get to experience its transformation into the Miracle Bar, a cozy pop-up bar that adds a festive touch to this already charming site. As Teghan said, “Robber’s Cave is a little place that made Lincoln what it is today,” and we couldn’t agree more!

A Blossoming Legacy: The Sunken Gardens

Another gem we’re proud to recommend is the Sunken Gardens, a serene and picturesque escape just a short walk from downtown Lincoln. This beautifully curated garden has a rich history of transformation. Originally a landfill on the city’s outskirts, it was turned into a park during the Great Depression, providing much-needed jobs for the community at the time.

What makes the Sunken Gardens truly unique is its ever-changing themes, ensuring there’s always something new to discover. Last year’s theme, “Golden Hours,” perfectly captured the enchanting beauty of this space. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this landmark offers a tranquil retreat and a glimpse into Lincoln’s resilient spirit.

Celebrating Lincoln’s Charm

At True North Custom Homes, we’re passionate about showcasing what makes Lincoln such a special place to live and explore. We take pride in not only building homes but also contributing to a vibrant community rich in history, culture, and natural beauty.

A big thank you to Rent.com for giving us the opportunity to share these local treasures. Whether you’re new to Lincoln or a lifelong resident, we encourage you to explore these spots and experience the charm of our city firsthand!

Cozy Living Room Design Ideas for Cold Nebraska Winters

Cozy Living Room Design Ideas for Cold Nebraska Winters

As the temperatures drop, your living room becomes more than just a gathering place—it’s your sanctuary from the cold. A cozy, well-thought-out design can transform this space into a warm retreat where family and friends naturally come together. Features like a stone fireplace, plush seating, and layered textures create a sense of comfort that feels welcoming and timeless. Whether it’s curling up with a good book or hosting game night, your living room should be a reflection of everything you cherish about home.

The key to creating a winter-ready living room is in the details. Soft lighting, whether from a statement fixture or carefully placed lamps, adds a gentle glow that contrasts beautifully with the chill outside. Incorporating built-ins for storage and display keeps the space functional while showcasing personal touches like family photos or cherished books. Adding seasonal elements like warm-toned throws, rich rugs, and natural wood accents further enhances the feeling of warmth and connection.

At True North Custom Homes, we believe your living room should feel as inviting as the people who fill it. Our custom designs prioritize both function and beauty, helping you create a space where the simple joys of winter—a crackling fire, a favorite movie, or quiet moments together—become part of your home’s story.

Creating the Perfect Dining Space for Family Gatherings and Holidays

Creating the Perfect Dining Space for Family Gatherings and Holidays

The dining room is more than a place to eat; it’s a setting where moments turn into memories. For families who love to gather, having a space that feels open, welcoming, and functional is essential. A well-designed dining area can transform holidays and celebrations into seamless experiences, offering enough room to bring everyone together comfortably. Whether it’s a farmhouse-style table for twelve or a cozy nook with expandable seating, the right design creates a space that feels as special as the moments you share.

When planning your dining space, consider how it will be used. High ceilings and large windows create an inviting atmosphere, while flexible layouts accommodate everything from casual dinners to elegant parties. Built-in storage for linens, dishes, and seasonal décor ensures your space remains uncluttered and ready for any occasion. A custom chandelier or statement light fixture can act as a focal point, adding warmth and a touch of personality that reflects your unique style.

At True North Custom Homes, we specialize in designing homes that fit your life. From intimate family dinners to large-scale gatherings, your dining space should be as versatile as your needs. We work with you to create a room where cherished traditions and new memories come together, anchoring your home as a place of connection and joy.

Designing a Kitchen for Multiple Cooks: Solutions for Shared Cooking Spaces

Designing a Kitchen for Multiple Cooks: Solutions for Shared Cooking Spaces

The kitchen is often the heartbeat of a home—a place where meals are made, stories are shared, and family moments come alive. But when multiple cooks step in, cramped spaces can quickly turn this lively area into a source of frustration. Designing a kitchen that accommodates more than one chef is an intentional act of harmony, creating a space where collaboration thrives. Features like dual workstations, additional prep sinks, and expansive countertops ensure everyone has room to contribute, whether it’s preparing a holiday feast or a quick weeknight dinner.

Beyond functionality, a multi-cook kitchen speaks to the importance of togetherness. Open layouts allow for easy movement, while zones—such as a dedicated baking area or coffee station—help prevent overlap. Thoughtful placement of appliances, like dual ovens or a second dishwasher, ensures the kitchen remains efficient and enjoyable for all who use it. These details bring not only ease but also a sense of joy, turning cooking into a shared experience rather than a crowded chore.

At True North Custom Homes, we believe the kitchen should reflect your lifestyle and values. Whether you envision an island with space for everyone to gather or strategically placed storage for seamless meal prep, every decision is a step toward creating a kitchen where your family’s story unfolds. It’s about more than just functionality—it’s about building a place where collaboration becomes connection and where your kitchen feels like the true center of your home.

How a Butler’s Pantry Can Transform Your Kitchen Aesthetic

How a Butler’s Pantry Can Transform Your Kitchen Aesthetic

A kitchen isn’t just a space for cooking—it’s the heart of the home, where life unfolds and memories are made. Adding a butler’s pantry brings balance and intentionality to this vital space, creating a sense of calm amidst the bustle of daily life. This thoughtful addition serves as a hidden hub for appliances and prep work, keeping your main kitchen open and clutter-free. By housing items like coffee makers, blenders, and other everyday essentials in a discreet yet accessible area, a butler’s pantry allows your kitchen to remain a place of beauty and focus—a true centerpiece of your home.

When it comes to entertaining, a butler’s pantry becomes more than just a convenience; it’s a transformative feature that enhances flow and functionality. Imagine having a dedicated space to chill drinks, arrange platters, or tidy up out of sight, all while your guests enjoy the warmth of your home. Outfitted with thoughtful details such as built-in outlets, a secondary sink, or custom shelving, a butler’s pantry offers both practicality and elegance. It allows you to host with confidence, knowing that every aspect of your gathering is seamlessly supported, leaving you free to connect with those who matter most.

A butler’s pantry also reflects the precision and personalization that define a True North Custom Home. Whether it’s designed to match the clean lines of your modern kitchen or created as a distinct, standout feature with bold finishes, this space can be tailored to your vision. Open shelving for display, custom cabinetry for storage, or even unique lighting to set the mood—all of these elements come together to create a functional yet meaningful extension of your home. More than just a utility, a butler’s pantry anchors your kitchen’s aesthetic, combining purpose with beauty in a way that speaks to the life you’re building.

Prep Your Home For The Holidays

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 15:00:05 GMT

Let's Prepare Your Home For The Holidays!

The holiday season is just around the corner, bringing family gatherings, festive meals, and the joy of hosting friends and loved ones. Preparing your home for the holidays doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With some planning and a few clever tricks, you can make your space cozy, inviting, and ready to handle anything the season throws at it. Here are our top tips for a holiday-ready home!

Before you bring in the decorations and festivities, set aside a day (or weekend) to give your home a thorough clean. Focus on high-traffic areas like the kitchen, living room, and entryway. Clean windows, dust shelves, vacuum carpets, and make sure any clutter is cleared away. A clean home is not only more comfortable but also makes it easier to decorate and maintain throughout the busy season.

Hosting guests often means finding extra room for holiday decor, gifts, additional seating, and places for people to spend the night. Take a moment to declutter each room, focusing on surfaces like coffee tables, countertops, and shelves. Pack away everyday items that may crowd the space, freeing up room for holiday decorations and making it easier for guests to move around. If you don't have enough rooms for your guest to spend the night you may have to change some extra rooms into living spaces.

The entryway is the first impression guests will have of your home, so make it functional and festive. Consider adding a dedicated space for coats, hats, and shoes to keep everything organized. A holiday wreath or welcome mat can add a seasonal touch, while a small bench or chair makes it easier for guests to get settled.

Whether you’re preparing a big holiday feast or serving up a casual spread, the kitchen is the heart of holiday gatherings. Organize your pantry, stock up on essential ingredients, and ensure your cookware and utensils are in good condition. Clear countertops as much as possible to make room for food prep, and consider setting up a self-serve beverage station to reduce traffic around the stove.

If you’re hosting overnight guests, make sure guest rooms and bathrooms are ready. Provide fresh linens, extra pillows, and some cozy blankets. Stock the bathroom with essentials like towels, soap, and toothpaste, and add some holiday decor for a warm, festive touch. A welcome basket with snacks, bottled water, and a holiday card can add a thoughtful touch to your guest room.

It can be tempting to go all out with holiday decor, but sometimes a few well-placed pieces can make a bigger impact. Focus on key areas like the fireplace mantle, front door, dining table, and living room. Consider coordinating colors with your home’s existing decor to keep the look cohesive, and use lights, garlands, or candles for a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

Holiday gatherings are all about creating a warm, welcoming environment. Think about how you want your space to feel—cozy throws, extra cushions, and dimmed lighting can add to a relaxed, festive atmosphere. Consider using scented candles or essential oils with holiday fragrances like pine, cinnamon, or vanilla to create that seasonal vibe.

The holidays can bring surprises, so it’s helpful to prepare for unexpected guests or last-minute changes. Keep a few extra gifts on hand, like boxes of chocolates or holiday candles, and have extra table settings ready. Creating a plan for these “just-in-case” moments can reduce stress and make it easier to go with the flow.

With all the decorating, it’s easy to overlook basic safety measures. Make sure cords and lights are secure and don’t pose tripping hazards, particularly if you have children or elderly guests. Check smoke detectors, and be mindful of where you place candles or hot dishes. Making your home both festive and safe ensures a worry-free holiday season.

Preparing your home for the holidays is all about creating a space where you and your guests can relax, celebrate, and enjoy each other's company. With a bit of planning and some thoughtful touches, you can set the stage for a joyful and memorable season.

Whether you're hosting a full house or an intimate gathering, these tips will help you get your home holiday-ready in no time. Here’s to a season filled with warmth, cheer, and cherished moments!

Building Dreams: Janet and Dan Sellon's Journey with True North Custom Homes INC

Building Our Dream Home:

A Journey with True North Custom Homes INC

Building a home is a monumental journey, one that requires trust, vision, and a partnership with a builder who understands your dreams. For Janet and Dan Sellon, True North Custom Homes INC was the perfect match. Here’s a glimpse into their experience and the journey of creating their dream home.

How Did You Hear About True North Custom Homes?

"We toured their homes on the Parade of Homes after discussing options with our realtors," shared Janet and Dan. The Parade of Homes gave them a firsthand look at the craftsmanship and attention to detail that True North offers.

Knowing True North Was the Right Builder

"We really liked the quality detail in True North homes, and met Sam, Kelli, and Alan which made it an easy choice," the Sellons explained. The personal connection with the True North team played a significant role in their decision.

Previous Experience with Building a Custom Home

While this was their first time building a custom home, Janet and Dan felt confident in their choice of builder.

Primary Reason for Building

The Sellons had a unique reason for building their new home. "We wanted to be on a larger lot with a country feel, and True North had great options for us to look at," they said.

Planning and Consideration

They had been contemplating building for years, but it was only in the past two years that they seriously considered it. "We didn't know really what to expect as this is our first home build," they admitted.

Exciting Design Features

One of the most exciting features of their new home is the view. "We are really excited to have the view out of our windows and be able to relax on our deck and take in the countryside," said Janet and Dan. The large patio doors that open up to their deck will extend their living space and create a perfect spot for hosting friends and family.

Must-Have Elements

"We really wanted lots of open space, tall ceilings, and lots of natural light/windows. We also wanted a dedicated exercise room," they detailed. Janet also had a personal touch she wanted to include: "I have always wanted double ovens like my mom had growing up, and we incorporated that into our kitchen as well."

Hosting and Entertaining

The Sellons look forward to hosting family and friends in their new home. "We hope to host family and friends whenever we can, looking forward to celebrating holidays in our new home."

Lifestyle Changes

"I grew up in the country, and so being able to build on the edge of town and have more space and nature surrounding our new home is something we are really looking forward to," Janet shared. The new home will provide a perfect blend of country living with modern comforts.

Most Time Spent

The open area upstairs, including the kitchen, family room, and patio deck, is where they envision spending most of their time.

Working from Home

The Sellons have included a home office in their new home. "We will have a home office that we can work out of if needed. I do most of my computer work/documenting at home so anticipate using this area quite often," Janet noted.

Vision and Design Assistance

"True North helped us build our ideas into a home they had designed previously. Sam and Gabe were great listening to what we wanted and bringing our ideas to the design process," they praised.

Accommodations for Family

The new home will feature three bedrooms in the basement for their adult children when they visit.

Accommodations for Pets

"We currently have 2 dogs who will absolutely love living on a larger lot near the country. They will have plenty of room to explore," Janet and Dan mentioned, excited for their pets to enjoy the new space.

Conclusion

Janet and Dan Sellon’s journey with True North Custom Homes INC showcases the importance of choosing a builder who not only constructs houses but also builds dreams. Their new home is a testament to their vision and the quality craftsmanship of True North. We are thrilled to have been part of their journey and wish them many happy years in their dream home.

Meet The Newmans

Client Spotlight

Meet The Newmans

At True North Custom Homes INC., we pride ourselves on turning our clients' dreams into reality. Today, we're thrilled to spotlight Deb and Barry Newman, who recently completed a survey sharing their experience and journey in building their dream home with us.

How It All Began

Deb and Barry first discovered True North Custom Homes while walking through one of our townhomes. Impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail, they decided to explore further. Their thorough research, combined with glowing reviews and a strong recommendation from a realtor friend, confirmed that True North was the perfect builder for their dream home.

Building a Custom Home: The Newmans' Experience

Having built a custom home before, Deb and Barry were not new to the process. Their primary reason for building this time around was the need for more space. After about a year of planning, they were ready to embark on this exciting journey, albeit with some initial reservations about whether it was the right time to build.

Designing Their Dream Home

The Newmans had a clear vision for their new home, with specific design features they were particularly excited about. They wanted an open kitchen and living area, a primary suite connected to the closet and laundry room, and a hidden pantry. Their "Must Have" elements included cabinets reaching to the ceiling, quartz countertops, and, of course, the hidden pantry.

Life in Their New Home

For Deb and Barry, their new home is more than just a place to live; it's a space designed for hosting and entertaining. They envision spending most of their time in the kitchen and living area, the heart of their home. While their lifestyle won't change drastically, they anticipate spending more time in Lincoln than they currently do.

Working from Home

With the growing trend of remote work, the Newmans included a home office in their design. Deb plans to work from the second bedroom, ensuring she has a dedicated space for productivity and focus.

Bringing Their Vision to Life

Carpet Patterns

Mon, 14 Aug 2023 15:28:16 GMT

Carpet Is Making A Comeback!

Are carpet patterns making a comeback? Absolutely!

While hardwood flooring options continue to be popular, the resurgence of carpets offers a stylized alternative when creating a personalized interior design component!

We couldn’t have been happier with the way this carpet added texture to this beautiful staircase design while complementing the room’s overall aesthetic.

In addition, adding carpet to the interior design of your custom dream home comes with many different advantages including...

Comfort and Coziness : Carpet provides a soft and comfortable surface underfoot, creating a warm and cozy ambiance in various living spaces like bedrooms, family rooms, and home theaters.

Sound Insulation : Carpet helps absorb sound, reducing noise levels and creating a quieter environment within your luxury homes. This can be particularly valuable for creating serene spaces and minimizing disturbances.

Aesthetic Variety : Carpets come in a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures, allowing you to achieve a specific design aesthetic or theme in your custom-built homes. This versatility enables you to enhance the overall interior design.

Safety : Carpet can offer better traction and reduce the risk of slipping, which is especially beneficial for households with young children or elderly individuals.

Warmth and Insulation : Carpets contribute to better insulation, helping to retain heat and conserve energy in your luxury custom homes. This can lead to more energy-efficient living spaces.

Allergen Control : High-quality carpets with proper maintenance can help trap dust and allergens, improving indoor air quality. Regular cleaning can ensure a healthier living environment.

Customization : Just as you specialize in custom home building, carpets can be tailored to suit your clients' preferences. Customized carpets can be designed to complement specific color schemes and interior styles.

Versatility : Carpets can be used to define different areas within an open-concept floor plan. By using different carpet styles or patterns, you can visually segment spaces and create a sense of structure.

Underfoot Insulation : Walking on carpeted surfaces feels warmer and more comfortable than hard flooring materials, making it a desirable option for bedrooms and areas where people often walk barefoot.

Interior Design Cohesiveness : Carpet can tie together various design elements in a room, including furniture, wall colors, and decor. It can serve as a unifying factor that enhances the overall aesthetic.

Open-Concept Design

Fri, 07 Jul 2023 19:41:11 GMT

Spacious And Bright!

Open concept floor plans have gained popularity in recent years due to their numerous advantages. Some of the key advantages of an open concept floor plan include:

1. Increased natural light: Open floor plans allow natural light to flow freely throughout the space, enhancing the overall brightness and ambiance. This is especially beneficial in homes with large windows or access to natural light sources, creating a more welcoming and uplifting environment.

2. Improved social interaction: Open floor plans promote better social interaction among family members and guests. By removing walls and barriers between different living spaces, such as the kitchen, dining area, and living room, it becomes easier for people to engage in conversations, entertain guests, and keep an eye on children while performing household tasks.

3. Enhanced functionality: Open floor plans offer greater flexibility in space utilization. The absence of walls allows homeowners to arrange furniture and design the layout according to their needs and preferences. It also provides ample room for large gatherings and makes it easier to adapt the space for different purposes, such as hosting parties or accommodating various activities.

4. Improved sightlines and supervision: With an open concept floor plan, sightlines are extended, enabling better visibility and supervision. This can be particularly advantageous for families with young children or for individuals who may require assistance or monitoring. Parents can keep an eye on their children playing in the living room while working in the kitchen, for example.

5. Sense of spaciousness: Open floor plans create an illusion of more space by eliminating unnecessary walls and barriers. The absence of confined areas can make a home feel larger and more expansive, even if the actual square footage remains the same. This can be especially valuable for smaller homes or apartments where maximizing space is essential.

6. Better flow and circulation: With no obstructions from walls or doors, an open concept floor plan allows for smoother movement and circulation within the living space. This can contribute to a more comfortable and convenient daily living experience.

7. Increased resale value: Open concept floor plans have become highly desirable among homebuyers. The flexibility, functionality, and sense of openness they offer can significantly increase the resale value of a property. When compared to traditional compartmentalized layouts, open floor plans often have a broader appeal and can attract a wider range of potential buyers.

Contact us today and lets start designing the home of your dreams that includes a spacious and airy open-concept floor plan!

Work-Life Balance

Thu, 29 Jun 2023 18:11:57 GMT

In-Home Office Design!

Why does your custom dream home need a dedicated workspace?

In today's ever-evolving work landscape, having a well-designed home office has become a game-changer. Here's why it's a must-have feature in your dream home design:

1. Productivity Boost: A designated workspace provides an environment tailored for focus and productivity. No more juggling tasks in crowded corners or struggling to find a quiet spot amidst household chaos. With a home office, you can create a serene oasis to tackle your to-do list and conquer your goals!

2. Work-Life Balance: Separating work and personal life is crucial for maintaining a healthy balance. Having a dedicated office allows you to mentally transition into work mode and establish boundaries. When you step into your office, it's a signal to your brain that it's time to get down to business. Once you leave, you can leave the stress behind and fully enjoy your home sanctuary.

3. Customized Comfort: Your dream home is all about making your dreams come true, right? So why settle for a generic office space? With a custom home office, you can tailor the design, layout, and aesthetics to match your personal taste and work preferences. Whether you prefer a minimalist haven or a vibrant, inspiring atmosphere, the choice is yours!

4. Efficiency and Organization: Say goodbye to hunting for important documents or losing track of your office supplies! A well-designed home office allows you to create an organized system tailored to your needs. You can have storage solutions, ergonomic furniture, and technology setups that optimize your efficiency and streamline your work processes.

5. Adaptability and Future-Proofing: Flexibility is key! A dedicated home office space provides the opportunity to adapt to changing circumstances. Whether you work remotely full-time or occasionally bring work home, having a designated space ensures you're prepared for whatever the future holds. It also adds value to your home should you decide to sell down the road.

As you embark on your custom home design journey, remember the importance of including a home office in your plans. It's a smart investment that enhances your productivity, work-life balance, and overall well-being.

Dream Home Design

Questions To Consider!

Designing a custom dream home is an exciting and complex process. To ensure that your design meets your needs and preferences, it's important to ask yourself some valuable questions before embarking on the project. Here are a few questions to consider:

1. What is my lifestyle like? Consider your daily routines, hobbies, and activities. Think about how your home can accommodate and enhance these aspects of your life.

2. What are my needs and priorities? Identify the key features and spaces that are essential to your lifestyle. Consider the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, office space, entertainment areas, outdoor spaces, etc.

3. How much space do I need? Consider the size of your family, the number of occupants, and any future plans you may have. Think about the desired square footage, room sizes, storage needs, etc.

4. How do I envision the flow of my home? Consider the layout and functionality of the spaces. Think about how you want the rooms to connect and flow together, and whether you prefer open-concept living or more defined spaces.

5. What are the unique features I desire? Think about any specific features or amenities you've always dreamed of having in your home, such as a home theater, wine cellar, gym, or swimming pool.

6. What is my preferred architectural style? Explore different architectural styles and determine the one that resonates with your personal taste and the surrounding environment.

7. What are my privacy and security requirements? Evaluate your need for privacy and security measures. Consider factors such as fencing, landscaping, window treatments, and security systems.

8. What is my budget? Determine your budget early on to ensure that your design aligns with your financial capabilities. This will help you make informed decisions about materials, size, and amenities.

9. How does the location influence my design? Consider the climate, topography, views, and any local regulations or restrictions. These factors will play a role in determining your dream home’s orientation, materials, and overall design.

By asking yourself these questions, you can better understand your needs and desires, which will ultimately guide the design process of your custom dream home.

Mudroom

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 15:39:38 GMT

An Essential Addition To Your Home's Design!

The mudroom is considered an essential component in custom home designs for several reasons. Here are some of the key benefits and reasons why a mudroom is commonly included into every True North custom home:

1. Organization and Storage: The primary purpose of a mudroom is to provide a designated area for organizing and storing items that are frequently used outdoors or in transit. This includes jackets, coats, shoes, boots, hats, umbrellas, backpacks, sports equipment, and more. Having a dedicated space to store these items helps keep the rest of the house clean and clutter-free.

2. Dirt and Mess Containment: The name "mudroom" itself implies its significance in containing dirt, mud, and mess that may be brought in from the outdoors. It serves as a buffer zone between the outside and the interior of the home, allowing individuals to remove and store dirty or wet items before entering the main living areas. This helps prevent dirt, mud, snow, or water from being tracked throughout the house, thereby maintaining cleanliness.

3. Transition Space: The mudroom serves as a transitional space between the exterior and interior of the home. It provides a place for individuals to take off or put on outerwear, switch shoes, and prepare themselves for different weather conditions or activities. It acts as a functional zone for these transitional activities, ensuring convenience and efficiency when coming and going from the house.

4. Pet-Friendly Features: For homeowners with pets, a mudroom can include features tailored to their needs. It can have designated areas for pet supplies such as food and water bowls, a pet bed, or even a pet shower or washing station. This allows for easy pet care and prevents pets from tracking dirt or water throughout the rest of the home.

5. Additional Storage and Utility: In addition to serving as a storage space for outdoor gear, a mudroom can also offer extra storage options for household items. It can include cabinets, cubbies, shelves, or hooks for storing cleaning supplies, laundry essentials, backpacks, briefcases, or other miscellaneous items. It can also house utilities such as a washer, dryer, utility sink, or even a small bathroom, further adding to its functionality.

Overall, the mudroom is an essential component in custom home designs because it promotes organization, cleanliness, and convenience. It helps keep the rest of the house tidy, acts as a barrier against dirt and mess, and provides a functional space for transitioning between the outdoors and indoors.

So, when it comes time to design your custom dream home, let's take the time to discuss and consider the importance of including a mudroom to your design!

The Statement

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 15:08:08 GMT

What Does Your Home Say About You?

Consider your current home… what does it say about you? What statement is it making? And are you happy with that statement?

Your home should communicate your creative vision and personality to tell a visual story that encompasses your overall lifestyle. Your home should be a place you are proud of and excited to show off!

When designing your custom dream home, we put a lot of thought into the “statement” your home will express! We spend and extended amount of time discussing your vision and creative style so we can all all those elements together to create a one-of-a-kind dream home that perfectly represents your family's personality and status!

Walk-In Closet

Tue, 30 May 2023 14:53:53 GMT

Enhance Your Daily Routine!

Having a large walk-in closet attached to your primary suite can truly be a game-changer. It's a space that enhances your daily routine and brings a touch of luxury to your home.

Let us highlight some of the perks and advantages of including a spacious walk-in closet to your dream home’s design!

1️⃣ Ample Storage: A spacious walk-in closet offers plenty of room to store and organize your entire wardrobe, including clothing, shoes, accessories, and more. It eliminates the need for cramming everything into limited closet space, ensuring that your belongings are easily accessible and well-preserved.

2️⃣ Simplifies Morning Routines: With a well-designed walk-in closet, you can streamline your morning routine. Imagine having all your clothing and accessories neatly displayed and readily available. It saves you precious time that would otherwise be spent rummaging through cluttered drawers or searching for that missing shoe.

3️⃣ Showcasing Your Style: Your walk-in closet becomes a personal sanctuary where you can showcase your unique style and fashion sense. With ample space, you can organize your clothing and accessories in a way that not only makes them easy to find but also highlights their beauty. It's like having your own boutique within your home.

4️⃣ Enhanced Organization: A spacious walk-in closet allows for better organization. You can have dedicated sections for different types of clothing, shelves for shoes, compartments for accessories, and even special areas for jewelry and watches. This organization not only makes it easier to find what you need but also helps keep your belongings in excellent condition.

5️⃣ Privacy and Personal Space: Your primary suite's walk-in closet provides a private retreat where you can take a moment for yourself. It can serve as a peaceful oasis to get ready, try on different outfits, and pamper yourself. It's a space that reflects your individuality and offers a sense of luxury and exclusivity.

Investing in a large walk-in closet for your primary suite is more than just a practical decision; it's a statement about valuing your style, organization, and self-care.

Primary Bath

Wed, 29 Mar 2023 17:00:00 GMT

Spa-Like Experience!

A poorly designed layout can make a primary bath feel disjointed and uncomfortable.

Let our design experts help maximize that space when designing your primary bath and construct a functional and aesthetically pleasing layout, creating a spa-like experience!

Here are some tips to help you during the design phase to create a space that meets your needs and looks great:

Plan the layout: Start by planning the layout of your bathroom. Consider the location of plumbing fixtures, such as the sink, toilet, and shower/bath, and the overall flow of the space. Make sure the layout is functional and allows for easy movement and access to all necessary areas
Choose the right fixtures: The fixtures you choose can make a big difference in the look and functionality of your bathroom. Consider high-quality and durable options that fit your style and budget. Look for fixtures that are water-efficient and easy to clean.
Focus on storage: Storage is essential in any bathroom, especially in the primary bathroom. Consider built-in storage options such as cabinets, drawers, and shelves. Make sure you have enough space to store towels, toiletries, and other essentials.
Incorporate lighting: Lighting is an important aspect of any bathroom design. Consider a combination of natural light and artificial light sources, such as ceiling fixtures, sconces, and vanity lights. Make sure the lighting is functional and enhances the overall look and feel of the space.
Add a personal touch: Adding a personal touch to your bathroom design can make it feel more inviting and unique. Consider adding artwork, a statement piece, or decorative accents that reflect your style and personality.

Remember, the primary bathroom should be a functional and relaxing space that meets your needs and enhances your daily routine. With careful planning and attention to detail, you can create a beautiful and functional space that you will enjoy for years to come.

Barn Door

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 14:30:00 GMT

Adding personality!

T his is a great example of adding personality to your new home!

Whether your new dream home has a modern, rustic, or traditional interior style, sliding barn doors can be a versatile and functional addition that will add depth and character to the interior design.

Barn doors solve problems that cramped spaces create where there's little room for a door to swing open. For example, narrow hallways, closets in small rooms, doorways you want to cover without taking up fl oor space – all these situations are a great place for barn doors.

And the added bonus of the barn door to your interior design, they never go out of style and are often eye catchers when friends and family visit your home!

This beautiful barn door is further proof that when we say custom, we mean custom!

Walk- In Kitchen Pantry

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 15:49:02 GMT

Frustrated over your cluttered kitchen?

When you are in the design phase of your dream home, it's important to identify the pain points and frustrations of your current home.

The kitchen is arguably the heart of the home. It's where you gather with friends and family. It's where you prepare meals and bake during the holidays. But often times, people point out how frustrated their kitchen makes them due to clutter and overall flow.

The design phase is the perfect opportunity to remedy all of those pain points and design the perfect kitchen that will no longer frustrate you but instead, make you want to spend more time in that space.

Adding a walk-in pantry into the kitchen’s design is a great way to tidy up your countertop space while providing plenty of room to store bulky kitchen items. In most cases, your pantry can be designed to be hidden and look as though there are two large cabinets instead of a separate room. It cleans up the design and overall feel of your kitchen and hides what can sometimes be a messy space.

Proximity to schools, shopping, work, and recreation is a huge factor to consider when choosing a lot. However, t his step in the process comes down to personal preference and lifestyle.

10/10 Kitchen

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 15:39:42 GMT

This kitchen is an absolute 10 / 10! !

Seriously, how beautiful is this kitchen?

Equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops and a hidden walk in pantry, this kitchen is as functional as it is eye catching!

Arguably, the kitchen is the heart of the home. It's where you prepare meals and spend time with family. It's also one of the most used rooms by guests who visit your home. It's important when designing your dream home to keep that in mind but design it in a way that is as functional as it is eye catching!

The hidden walk in pantry is one of our favorite features to work into new homes. Tucked away in the back right corner, it just looks like another cabinet. But once the doors are opened, you'll find a large room full of shelving to help declutter you counter space and keep your kitchen tidy!

Stainless steel appliances are always a nice tough and prove to be a timeless and eye catching feature.

And let's not overlook the beauty and clean look of our granite counter tops provided by Zeng Granite here in Lincoln, NE!

Guest Bedroom

Wed, 28 Dec 2022 15:00:07 GMT

Planning for your guests

If you are someone who likes to entertain and host guests, it's essential to plan for comfortable and cozy guest bedrooms for you guests to stay in. The holidays always serve as a great reminder of this as so many people are traveling to see friends and family and won't be sleeping in their own beds at their own homes!

Let's be honest, friends and family don't like sleeping on a pull out couch in a cold basement! That's why so many people spend money on hotels and Air B&Bs. They want a place where they can feel comfortable, relaxed and have a private space to themselves.

That's why we always recommend in the design phase to envision what everyday life will look like and the lifestyle you image for your new home. Maybe you are currently living in a home that's too small to host and you dream of a space where your family and friends feel comfortable staying over.

Fireplace Season

Thu, 17 Nov 2022 15:25:43 GMT

Fireplace season is officially here!!

One of the most popular features being added into new homes are gas fireplaces.

A fireplace can expand the comfort level of your new home alone with enhancing the over all style and charm. In addition, adding a fireplace in the planning and design stages of your build will increase your property value, and reduce your monthly heating bills in the winter.

Another perk of selecting a style is gas fireplace is that they require little to know cleaning as apposed to wood-buring fireplaces which require extensive maintenance and upkeep.

Insulation

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 15:27:38 GMT

Requires no energy to save energy

Insulation is an important step in the building process and is an energy-efficient technology that, once manufactured, requires no energy to save energy. Not only does it save energy, but it also lasts for the life of the building and unless it is damaged, it will never have to be replaced. Instead of reducing the amount of energy they use, like most “energy efficient” products, they actually save energy from being wasted.

The act of insulating a house generally isn't an eye catching step seeing as once the house is completed its hidden, but it is a truly important step in the longevity and efficiency of your home.

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 21:26:42 GMT

How about this great Fall Weather?

We continue to be blessed with this great Fall weather!!

75 degrees at the beginning of November is ideal for finishing off the roof of this luxury townhome!!

There's still plenty of exterior work to be done on our luxury townhomes in the Preserve at Hillcrest so we are counting our blessings that the weather is cooperating the way it is.

Here's to hoping Winter holds off as long as it can so we can keep making great progress on all of our current projects!

Dream Deck Space

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 17:12:50 GMT

What Will Your Dream Deck Space Look Like?

T he perfect Fall weather is here and it looks like we are in for a beautiful week.

Whether you are hosting a party for friends or simply relaxing after a long day and eating dinner with your family on a beautiful evening, your outdoor space truly is a secondary living space. When you are designing your custom dream home, it’s important to plan ahead for these beautiful Fall evenings and think about your dream deck space and what features you want to include.

Will you use your space to host parties? Are you going to use the space for cooking and eating? How much space will you need for your outdoor furniture and will it include an outdoor fireplace?

When your project is complete and you're greeted with beautiful Fall evening, you'll be thankful you took the time to answer these questions and planned ahead.

At True North, we design, personalize, build, and execute your dream home.

Are you finally ready to start planning your dream home but you are nervous about the process and the fear of the unknown is getting the best of you?

Let us help by giving you a little insight into The True North Process.

DESIGN - The road to your dream home starts with a design meeting. Here, we will discuss your ultimate goals, your style preferences, conceptual drawings and the anticipated construction timeline of both parties.
Personalize -Every home has a personality, and this is where you get to help create yours. We will discuss design plans in greater detail, including the finishes, fixtures and appliances. At this point we can also provide you with a cost analysis based on preliminary blueprints and discuss budget.
Build - Now that the blueprints have been drawn up and you’ve picked out the final touches, the building can begin! We will keep you updated with pictures and videos of your home as it starts to take its shape through a customized smartphone app and website.
Execute - We have the highest commitment to quality and satisfaction and we’re not finished with your home until you tell us it’s perfect. Before we hand the keys over, we’ll walk you through your home to ensure your familiarity with every feature and system.

It really is that simple!!

Barn Door Galore

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 21:38:31 GMT

Farmhouse-Style Home

Germany and Scandinavia began the farmhouse architecture movement when the housing for farmhands was in low supply, but high demand. In the 1700s, the simple yet solid custom construction of farmhouses made its way to the US. Now centuries later farmhouse architecture is everywhere. Here are the key elements to a True North custom farmhouse home.

Tongue-and-Groove Paneling and Shiplap

Drywall is not used regularly in farmhouse-style homes. Tongue-and-Grove Paneling and shiplap type of wall treatments add a high-end homey feel to the walls giving a sense of comfort. They also introduce strong lines, and a more modern look when painted neutral colors. Our True North Custom Homes provide just that. Luxury meets that homey feel is exactly what we aim for.

Barn Doors

This popular trend seems to be making quite an impact on today’s styles. The X detail on the sliding barn door adds a bonus farmhouse touch that is often seen on the exterior parts of a regular barn. This easy closure provides seamless movement to close off a space while giving the room a custom high-end touch.

Board-and-Batten Siding

Board-and-Batten paneling is often found on the exterior of original farm buildings. Bringing it indoors is an updated twist on the intended purpose of this specific type of custom siding. It also can draw major attention to that wall allowing for decorative luxurious pieces to shine. This provides a modern and custom way to bring iconic Nebraska features indoors in a high-end way.

We believe in creating a custom home that will tell your family’s story from beginning to end. No matter where you come from or what your next steps are in life, we want to help you find your True North! Interested in knowing more about how to create your farmhouse dream home and how you can tell your story? Call us at 402-617-6536 to get started on building the custom home of your dreams!

Single Floor Dream

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 21:30:19 GMT

Ranch-Style Home

In the Midwest ranch style homes are in the corner of every small town to even bigger cities, such as Lincoln, Nebraska, and the surrounding area. These homes are perfect for any family looking to settle down and plant their roots with the custom home of their dreams. The design concepts of this emulate the family-style that this home is designed for. The name ‘ranch’ style doesn’t mean cows will be roaming around your backyard, but it does mean a sense of pride for your family and what you do.

Single Floor

One of the numerous benefits that ranch-style homes have to offer is only having one floor! With ranch-style homes, you will never have to carry the vacuum up the stairs again. Allowing members of the household to be closer to each other minimizes the amount of yelling from one floor to another and creates an easy layout for sharing memorable times with you family in you custom built ranch-style home.

Sliding Glass Doors

A staple of most Midwestern-Nebraskan housing is sliding glass doors. Not only does this feature give ample lighting to the outside world it also can spark the idea for another room in the house… sun porches! These doors are a great feature to have in any ranch-style custom home to mix your modern luxury with the great outdoors.

Back Patio

For craftsman homes porches are a staple, for ranch-style homes, it’s all about the back patio. Back patios help people enjoy the outdoors without the neighbors wanting to come over by the seclusion of fencing. With flowers and greenery surrounding the patio, it’s a great area to relax in after a long summer day. Our high-end custom patios are the perfect embellishment to your custom-built property.

After describing the details of ranch-style homes we can all agree that these homes are all about having privacy for some people while being inviting to those we hold close in our hearts. Call us at 402-617-6536 to get started with your custom home build today to take the next step towards your forever home.

Porches, Pillars, and Exposed Beams

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 20:48:44 GMT

Craftsman-Style Home

One of the most popular home styles of the 21st century is the craftsman built home. This style of home first appeared during the late 1800’s and remained popular until the early 1900’s. Now, making its comeback in modern architecture, the craftsman style home provides the perfect balance of luxury and that true ‘home’ feeling.

Built of Natural Materials

Many of the contemporary custom craftsman homes have a strong sense of authenticity by what the homes are composed of. A craftsman house is mostly built from genuine wood, stone, bricks, and other natural materials. Not only does it have an ecological approach to design, but also natural beauty and high-end luxury.

Porches with Pillars

A signifier of craftsman homes is a porch with pillars that bracket the entrance of the home while supporting the roof. When neighbors come over to chat for a while you have space to host them without them impeding on your personal space. Especially if you weren’t expecting visitors! These pillars are secured on either pedestal bases of stucco or stone, the choice is yours for whatever fits your style. In Nebraska, we are always welcoming our friends and families to our home, and this outdoor space provides the perfect entrance to your custom build.

Exposed Beams

Craftsman homes have a strong emphasis on exposed beams so much so that they are generally featured on both the outside and inside of the home. For homeowners in the Lincoln, Nebraska area who desire a vintage charm to their home, this is a must for you! The exposed beams can make your custom home feel more rustic and make the space, including the beams, feel bigger!

Craftsman custom homes can adapt to fit our modern world, but also can be restored to give homage to our pasts and where we came from. The best part is you can do both with True North! The benefit of craftsman homes is the versatility of the home and the style it possesses, while providing the luxury you always wanted. Be sure to visit our ‘Custom Homes’ page to view our completed, and in production homes. Let us build you the perfect Custom Craftsman home!

Modern Meets Minimalism

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 20:39:27 GMT

Modern-Style Home

What makes a home? Is home the people that fill the space or is it the way that the architecture is designed? Contemporary modern homes are a great combination of both worlds, emulating a sense of style and sensitivity to the people occupying the space. For anyone considering a contemporary modern home here are key features to make your custom luxury home stand out!

Minimalism

A big part of modern homes is simplicity. Minimalism or having less ‘stuff’ in your home can help the actual home itself tell its story. This can help visitors focus more on key elements of the home, such as flooring, furniture pieces, and artistic decor to help. Sometimes less is more when building and decorating a home in this style! The plains of Lincoln, Nebraska offer the perfect landscape for this style of build.

Open floor plan in L, T, H, or U shape to embrace outdoor space

Most contemporary modern homes include an open living, dining, and kitchen space, open riser stairs, and very few walls. This helps the house flow seamlessly and have the perfect feel of openness. Many embrace the L, T, H, or U shape to utilize outdoor space as well. Visitors will never feel separated or secluded in custom homes like these due to the openness and flow of the structure to make everyone feel connected.

Shapes and Lines

Geometric shapes and strong lines can help distinguish these homes for their true style. These elements bring a modern high-end touch to contemporary homes both exteriorly and interiorly. Triangular and rectangular shapes are often viewed exteriorly. While interiorly strong lines are often seen through decor and stylistic preferences you choose to put in your custom home!

True North prides itself in making your home ‘yours’. Whatever your style, budget, or idea of a perfect home is, we will work with you to create the custom build of your dreams! Understanding your preferences and style helps us to successfully build a custom luxury home you will love for years to come, right here in the heartland of Lincoln, Nebraska.

Simplicity is Key

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 20:25:05 GMT

Prairie-Style Homes

The Midwest is known for more than just corn, cowboys, and community. Throughout 2021, contemporary prairie homes have been in high demand. Not sure if that style of home is right for you? Here’s what to look for in a prairie-style custom home.

Horizontal Lines

One of the core giveaways of a prairie-style home is the exterior design. Most prairie homes have specific horizontal designs on the outside. Trim, siding, bricks, and many other elements are horizontally aligned to accentuate the home’s origin beginning in Japanese culture. The prairie home design fit perfectly in the Midwest, and especially in the Lincoln, Nebraska area.

Simplicity

You will find with many prairie homes that simplicity is key to both interior and exterior design. The character of each individual home is allowing natural elements of a home to shine through while still holding that high-end look. Wood, brick, and other elements build a home’s character and gives each individual home a story to tell.

Cantilevered, Flat Roofs

Continuing with the element of horizontal lines, long roofs with overhangs can help distinguish a prairie home from a farmhouse or country-style home. These roofs help show the purpose of the flow of a house, from the inside to the outside. That overhang invites guest to come inside and view the luxury custom build of the prairie home.

At True North, we believe in creating a home that will tell your family’s story from beginning to end. We emphasize that every home and customer have a different luxurious style and origin that can be shown throughout their home, internally and externally. Interested in knowing more about how to create your prairie dream and how you can get the custom home that can tell your story?

Top Design Trends in 2021

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 19:01:15 GMT

Top Design Trends in 2021

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Been putting off some design or updates in your current home? 2021 is the year to tackle those projects and here are some great trends to get you started.

Perfect Spaces

2020 really made us think about how we use the rooms in our home. As spending more time at home becomes increasingly common, we are seeing rooms dedicated to more than one use. This means that at True North Custom Homes we are creating unique storage and design solutions for every room of your house to truly make every area the perfect space to work and play.

Hidden Hardware

Nothing creates a more seamless look than having hidden hardware on your cabinetry in the kitchen or bathroom. Hidden hardware allows for a very clean and minimal look that can be implemented very easily. One option for hidden hardware is to create a lip or pull out of the same material as the drawers – this creates simple lines without giving up functionality.

Natural Lighting

Natural lighting continues to be one of our favorite top trends for home design and building. One benefit to building your custom home with True North is that we can plan for all of your lighting needs right from the get-go. During our planning stages we can talk about the orientation of your home so that the rooms you use most often will receive the most sunlight.

We understand that not every trend is right for every family, but with True North Custom Homes, the design options are endless as each home is built specifically for your family and lifestyle. Interested in knowing more about our processes and how you can get the home of your dreams? You can read more about our six-step process on our website under the ‘Our Process’ tab or call us at 402-617-6536 to get started with your custom home build today.

What's Worth The Splurge In Your True North Custom Home

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 19:01:14 GMT

True North Custom Homes

When it comes to building your new home with True North Custom Homes, we do our best to make the process as easy for you as possible. In fact, the hardest part should be choosing between all of the high-quality options for your home and figuring out where you should splurge, including the structural elements of your home as well as the kitchen and bathroom!

The first place we recommend splurging on are the structural elements of your new home – the items that either can’t be changed or will cost you even more to change later on down the road. These elements could include:

Ceiling height – Taller ceilings provide a greater sense of space and can really open a room up.
Windows and doors – It’s important to account for which rooms you want the most natural lighting in and planning for that ahead of time.
Garage size – Don’t plan on your current situation and family size. It’s important to consider what might be added down the line. You may be purchasing another car or three, the boat you’ve always wanted and a motorcycle, because, why not?

Another area of your home that’s worth the splurge is your kitchen. Upgrade to granite countertops and invest in a large kitchen island – this will give you plenty of counter space for food prep and an easy family hangout spot. The options for a nice kitchen are endless, though, as we can account for all of your needs during our planning stages. If one pantry isn’t enough, let’s add two. And don’t forget that energy-efficient appliances are typically well-worth the splurge as well.

Showers, soaker tubs and the vanity are all great places to spend a little more on when creating your dream bathroom. A frameless glass shower will make your bathroom feel extra sophisticated as they offer a very clean look and gives the illusion of having an even larger space. A large, freestanding soaker tub can make a statement in any bathroom. Composite materials, including natural stone or even cast iron, can provide a very elegant design. Many overlook spending more on a vanity, but don’t skimp here. You could be opening and closing the drawers multiple times a day – so you’ll want them to hold up. Custom cabinetry can add in that wow factor, as well as incorporate smart storage and a design that ties the whole bathroom together.

Building your custom home can be an exciting, yet stressful, time. There is a plethora of options to consider and decisions to be made. True North Custom Homes has redefined the process to ensure that you will always a team on your side and to help give you the home of your dreams.

Building Your Forever Home

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 19:01:14 GMT

Building Your Forever Home

There is almost nothing more satisfying than a blank slate – a chance to create a space that’s all about you. In the housing market there are two options for new homes: Spec homes and custom homes. Finding the right home can be a challenge, but understanding the differences between the two will have you well on your way to a life of comfort and ease.

Speculation homes are houses that a built on lots without a specific buyer in mind. The intention behind these types of homes are that an interested party will come forward to purchase the house upon completion. It’s fast, it’s convenient, however, these homes tend to be more generic as they appeal to a wide range of people.

Custom homes are perfect for buyers who want to build their dream house, complete with a floorplan that fits their needs and all the amenities they desire. Custom homes are typically built on land already owned by the buyer and are often times considered an investment in their future due to their unique appearance and higher quality control.

No two families are alike, so why should your home look like everyone else’s?

That’s where True North comes in.

Your home should be your True North, your fixed point in a spinning world. It should speak to you and your lifestyle. With custom-built homes you get a superior quality and one-of-a-kind home built with you in mind. We bring your ideas to life by working with you every step of the way from preconstruction through completion.

From the layout and accessibility of your home to the aesthetics of choosing the colors, and high-quality materials and fixtures that you love, we can help you facilitate your lifestyle and values. If you want to entertain friends, spend time with family or you’re prioritizing relaxation and comfort, your home will be 100 percent unique to your every need.

We understand that family is your number one priority. We don’t want to make you a house, we want to build you your forever home.

Happy home building!
