Want a home with no compromises? Look no further than Overstreet Builders, one of the top luxury custom home builders in the Chicago suburbs. We've been turning blueprints into bespoke homes for over 60 years. And in this blog, we want to pull back the curtain on what it's like to design your dream home with us.
Unlike other home builders in the Chicago suburbs, we offer a completely customizable home-building experience. From the overall layout and design features to the smallest details like doorknobs and light fixtures, you have complete control over every aspect of your home. Here's what designing a home with Overstreet Builders looks like:
Location Flexibility
The first step in building your dream home is choosing the location. And with Overstreet Builders, you have an array of options in the Chicago suburbs to choose from. Our Signature Neighborhoods are in prime locations like Naperville and Elgin, and they each include their own amenities that make life feel like a vacation. Indoor fitness centers, sports courts, pools, and more – it's all right at your doorstep.
But we know not everyone wants to live in a master-planned community. If you prefer a more secluded location, we also offer the option to build on your lot . Whether you want to live near work, family, or your favorite hiking trails, we'll work with you to make it happen.
If you already have a lot picked out - whether you’ve already purchased it or are just in the “looking around” phase - we'll do a site evaluation to make sure it's suitable for building. And if not, our team can help you find the perfect spot to call home!
Choosing a Floor Plan
We never want you to feel limited in your choices, which is why we offer 20 customizable floor plans in a range of architectural styles. From modern farmhouse to traditional colonial, we have a floor plan for every taste. Each floor plan has multiple elevations, giving you even more options to choose from.
Over half of these homes have 3D virtual tours and interactive floor plans on our website so you can envision your dream home in detail before breaking ground.
Customizing Your Floor Plan
Not all home builders offer the same level of flexibility when it comes to floor plans. But at Overstreet Builders, we believe in giving you the reins. Our experienced team will work directly with you to make any changes or additions to the floor plan that you choose.
Want a larger kitchen? We can do that. Need a home office? Consider it done. Extra bathrooms for your large family? No problem. We want your home to fit your lifestyle and needs perfectly.
Collaborative Design Process
At Overstreet, we don't just construct houses; we collaborate with our clients to create homes. Our design process is entirely collaborative and revolves around your vision and ideas. You'll be able to choose from high-quality finishes and materials for every aspect of your home:
- Appliances
- Cabinetry
- Countertops
- Flooring
- Lighting fixtures
- Hardware
- Low Voltage
The list goes on and on! We also provide access to our talented design team, who can assist you in selecting the perfect finishes and details that will meet your style and budget.
Energy Efficiency and Savings
When designing a luxury custom home, it's important not only to focus on aesthetics but also on long-term savings. That's why all of our homes are built with energy efficiency in mind. From advanced insulation techniques to high-efficiency HVAC systems, Overstreet homes are built to save you money on utility bills for years to come. But you also have the option to add smart home features that make life more convenient and cost-effective.
As a family-owned and operated business, we understand the value of quality and craftsmanship. We take pride in every home we build, treating each home we build as if we were going to live in it.
