Who says you can only customize an older home? It’s time buyers realize that new homes can be personalized too. Builders like California West Communities encourage buyers to put a personal touch on their San Diego new homes; in fact, their Madison Lane community offers some tips for customizing your new home with the help of their design center:

There are hundreds of exciting palettes and finishing choices that will set the tone for your home's look and feel. You may have the opportunity to decide on your floors, cabinetry and countertops. Imagine plush designer carpeting, warm natural hardwoods or beautiful rustic travertine or stone tile, all carefully laid with a craftsman's touch. Countertops of hand-laid stone tile, or a gorgeous granite slab accentuating the classic beauty of cherry-stained kitchen cabinetry.

They also suggest going above and beyond the model home upgrades, with features like open loft spaces adding another bathroom or guest room, and even converting existing rooms into personal spaces (exercise rooms, game rooms, etc).

What else is available? “Consider some of the finishing touches to make your home even more inviting,” they said, “like French doors to the patio or a living room fireplace to enjoy as you relax for the evening. Each of our new communities will offer a variety of options for you to choose.” We told you: At Madison Lane, they encourage you to make your home your own!
