As its name suggests, the Liberty floor plan is all about freedom. When you choose this layout, you have the freedom to customize it to match your family’s lifestyle. With a master bedroom on the main level, you have the freedom to stay in your home forever. With a large bonus room upstairs, you have the freedom to use it as a playroom when the kids are little, a media room for the teen years, and whatever type of space suits you when the kids are older. The Liberty might evolve with your family, but it will always be home.

Building a vacation home may seem like a luxury that only the very wealthy can afford, but for many families, it is actually within reach. This is especially true if you build with Adair Homes and take advantage of our unique process to generate immediate equity and keep costs down. Whether you’re envisioning a secluded mountain retreat, a golf course getaway, or a coastal cottage, we have a floor plan that you can customize to get the vacation home of your dreams.

Every Adair home starts with a layout that you can customize to meet your needs. Don’t need that extra bedroom? Make it a den or yoga studio. Planning to catch up on your reading while on vacation? Create the perfect space for it in the upstairs loft. Planning to spend a lot of days at the beach? Make sure you have a mudroom to catch all that sand. No matter how you like to spend your time off, Adair Homes can help you design the perfect house for it. These are just a few of our most popular vacation home floor plans to consider.

Many people dream of being able to invest in a rental property but feel that it is a difficult financial goal to achieve. If you are able to do it, you can increase your monthly income, have more to put away in your savings, grow your net worth, and—best of all—have somebody else paying off your mortgage. One way to make this dream come true, especially if you don’t have a lot of extra cash to invest, is to build a duplex. You can live in one unit and rent out the other one, decreasing your monthly living expenses and allowing yourself to save for the future.

One of the Adair Homes floor plans that investors love is the Pines, a stylish and affordable duplex that you can either live in or rent out for even more monthly income. Each 1,200-square-foot unit has three bedrooms and one-and-a-half-baths, making it the perfect size for a small family.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting to think about creating an income stream for your retirement, real estate investing is a smart long-term plan. While some investors choose to flip existing homes, there are a lot of reasons that building a new custom home is a smarter path. The main reason is predictability. When you buy an existing home, you have no idea what you’re going to find when you start the remodeling process, which can blow your budget and potentially turn your investment into a money pit. On the other hand, when you build new, you know how much it is expected to cost, when the work will be finished, and what the final product will look like, because you get to make all of the decisions.

Part of our new Riada Collection, the Everett has the clean lines of the modern aesthetic with an open floor plan that every family will enjoy.

For single-level living in style, the Bannock has everything you need in just under 2,500 square feet. Like every Adair Homes floor plan, you can customize it to match your lifestyle and your budget.

Building a new custom home in an urban area with smaller property sizes can present some challenges, especially when the lot is narrow. Local regulations may require setbacks that make the possible footprint even smaller, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a home with everything you want and need. You just have to work with a floor plan that was designed for narrow lots.

In fact, building on a narrow lot offers some advantages that prompt many families to seek out this type of property. It typically requires less maintenance because there is less yard space to care for. Homes on narrow lots also tend to feel more private because there are fewer windows at the front and the living spaces are deeper in the home.

However, these advantages are sometimes double-edged swords. Some of the challenges that exist include deciding where to place the garage, ensuring privacy with close property lines on the sides of the home, and maximizing outdoor living space. Many homeowners also struggle with making the interior spaces feel open and large with a narrow footprint.

The professionals at Adair Homes have thought of all these challenges and created 12 narrow lot floor plans that you can customize for your lifestyle.

One of the top reasons buyers choose to build a custom home is the freedom to choose their floorplan. With a custom home, there’s no risk of buying a house that’s not functional for your needs or too small for your growing family, or one with a dated, closed-off floorplan. When you build custom, you have the opportunity to select from a variety of creative floorplans—and half the fun of building a home is finding the right one for you.

Today, we’re taking a closer look at four of our most popular and creative floorplans to give you a taste of your future dream home.
