Traditions club is big on ideas, even in the smallest details.
Rock On
No front porch is complete without a good set of rocking chairs. A pair of teak rockers underscores the neighborhood feel of Traditions. Rustic materials including native limestone, cedar, and pavers cut to resemble flagstone, reflect Texas country house style. Fiber-cement shingles and horizontal plank siding complement the mix of materials and offer maintenance-free living.

Secret Door
One of the two bedrooms reveals a private outdoor entrance, making the rental program at Traditions even more enticing for the homeowner of this Casita. Owners may use the entire house, or rent a portion during game weekends.

Step It Up
