When longtime home builder Brian Price began building his dream home, he envisioned a home that doubled as a staycation destination, and that’s exactly what he built.
The design of this custom home, or the “brainchild,” as he calls it, is that of his and a close friend’s creative minds. Brian and close friend John Barris built a spec home in Swan Valley that the home closely resembles. “I really liked how that home looked and turned out,” Brian said. “I helped redesign the home to what we have built today.”
Today the custom-built home spans over 5,500 square feet, including seven bedrooms and three and a half baths.
What makes this custom home luxurious and unlike other homes in the area are its many unique features. From the theater room to the outdoor patio to the underground pool, this home was a trendsetter style in the area at the time it was built.
At the core of the home is an open floor plan, a modern kitchen, hardwood floors, a fireplace and lots of natural light. The spaciousness and open-concept design of the home allow Brian and his family to easily entertain and interact with one another, an element that was at the top of his priority list when building this staycation home.
When designing and building the home, his 30-plus years of experience came into play. “As the builder, I'm able to put my heart into it,” Brian said. “All in all, it was just a super fun build.”
Both the interior and exterior of the home are the epitome of work hard, play hard.
“The whole house was designed for entertainment and spacious living. We thought, ‘If we can’t go camping and dad’s busy, we better get something so that everybody is happy,” Brian said. “We get to staycation all the time.”
When the kids are done playing in the pool, camping out or roasting marshmallows, they can come inside and watch a movie in the theater room or play in the spacious playroom while the adults play pool or get their sweat on in the home gym.
