What floor plan did you choose and what attracted you to this design?

I chose a Brynlee II Elevation F to build. This plan was a Drees 90th anniversary that was only built in Houston. Due to the work my sales agent, Tara Kessler, did I was able to build it in Wolf Ranch. What attracted me to this plan was the timeless elevation that had elements of classic homes of the past while containing all the contemporary features that I was looking for.  

As you watched your home’s design come to life, what have been your favorite features? 

A few of those features were the commercial kitchen which included a built-in refrigerator/freezer as well as a 60" dual oven / cooktop. Also being able to have a 50" wood burning fireplace which is the centerpiece of my living room.

What did you enjoy most about the building process?

Being able to work with my Builder Trey Bright as well as my sales Tara Kesseler brought a custom experience to production building. Both were attentive to my ideas and worked with me to implement them into my home.

What advice would you give others who are interested in building a home?

Based on my experience I would say having a good understanding of what you want and what your vision is for the home you want would be most important. It allowed both Tara and Trey to make that happen.

Why did you choose to build with Drees?

I chose to build with Drees for a number of reasons with the main one being able to have a custom-building experience with a production builder. Drees was able to take my vision and make it a reality. I had built several homes before working with Drees and a number of those were full custom homes. I found the experience of building with Drees to be very similar to what I had experienced with a custom builder.
