Property Description

What makes the Oakley so great? It just understands how real life works. If your laundry room doubles as a business center for farm life, a command center for a large family, or you simply want the luxury of true working space, the laundry in the Oakley is HUGE.

Then add a large kitchen island, a dedicated coffee bar, and smart details like a cloud storage corner instead of a lazy Susan, plus pot drawers right where you need them by the stove.

And when you step into that massive 7-foot shower with a bench and shelf, you’ll know it instantly…

You’re home.

Kitchen

One of the design features that truly sets this home apart is the use of Koch Classic Knotty Alder cabinets in a rich Pecan stain. Knotty Alder is loved for its natural character, depth, and warmth, giving the kitchen a timeless look that feels both inviting and substantial. Unlike flat or uniform woods, Knotty Alder celebrates the grain and natural knots, adding texture and personality that makes the cabinetry feel custom and built to last.

What makes this design even more special is that the trim throughout the home is also real Alder, stained to match the cabinetry. This creates a beautiful, cohesive flow from room to room, where the warmth of the wood carries through the entire home rather than stopping at the kitchen.

The result is a space that feels thoughtfully designed, warm, and timeless—the kind of home that never goes out of style. You’ll squeal at our carefully planned storage innovations. To the left of the stove, a cookie sheet pull-out keeps baking sheets, trays, and cutting boards perfectly organized and within easy reach. Beside it, a base canister pull-out features three inserts designed to hold spatulas, utensils, or oils neatly upright, with additional storage below for everyday cooking essentials. And to the left of the sink, a pull-out trash and recycle bin keeps waste neatly tucked away but incredibly convenient when you need it. Every detail is thoughtfully designed so the items you use most are exactly where you want them—organized, accessible, and effortlessly functional.


This cloud storage corner system is a modern upgrade to the traditional lazy Susan, designed to make every inch of your corner cabinet truly usable. The sculpted shelves glide effortlessly out of the cabinet with a smooth, fluid motion, bringing everything fully into view and within easy reach. Instead of spinning trays where items disappear into the back, these shelves pull completely forward and then glide gently back into place just as easily. The result is a system that feels almost weightless to operate—no twisting, no reaching, and no digging around corners. Combined with sturdy rails and a beautifully finished surface, it turns what is usually the most awkward cabinet in the kitchen into one of the most functional and satisfying spaces to use every day. To tie everything together, the island is also finished in Pecan-stained Alder.

Small details make everyday life easier. On the right side of the stove, the second drawer in the four-drawer stack features a beautiful wood spice insert, keeping your most-used seasonings neatly organized and easy to see while you cook. And to the right of the refrigerator, a 21" wood silverware divider brings the same level of thoughtful organization to your utensils. These solid wood inserts not only keep everything in its place, they add a touch of craftsmanship and warmth that makes the kitchen feel intentionally designed—one of those quiet upgrades you’ll appreciate every single day.

The island is has 6 stacked drawers, with 2 false doors on each side for a flawless and cohesive look Two pot drawers on the side facing the stove for easy access. There will be 3 Kicher Everly pendants with seeded glass above the island.

Another detail that elevates the entire space is the use of finished end panels on both the upper and lower cabinets throughout the kitchen and coffee bar. Instead of seeing the exposed cabinet box sides typical in many homes, these panels create a fully finished, furniture-quality look from every angle. The cabinetry appears more substantial, more intentional, and more refined—much like a custom piece of built-in furniture rather than standard cabinetry. It’s a subtle upgrade, but one that makes the entire kitchen and coffee bar feel more polished, cohesive, and beautifully designed.


You’ll enjoy fabulous quartz countertops by Cambria in Seacourt, one of the most beautiful and durable surfaces you can choose for your home. Cambria is widely considered the top-of-the-line in quartz, known for its exceptional craftsmanship, rich natural movement, and superior performance. Unlike many other surfaces, Cambria quartz is non-porous, stain resistant, and incredibly durable, making it ideal for the everyday activity of a busy kitchen. It never needs sealing and cleans easily, so it will look just as beautiful years from now as the day it was installed. Even better, Cambria stands behind its product with a lifetime warranty, giving you lasting confidence in a surface that is both stunning and built to perform for a lifetime.

Cambria Quartz countertops in Seacourt are in the kitchen, island, coffee bar and laundry.

Your kitchen sink will be a Kohler Vault single-bowl undermount sink, a beautiful upgrade that offers a clean, seamless look while giving you the space and function only a large single bowl can provide. Paired with it is the black Moen Genta pull-down faucet, adding a striking modern contrast and an elevated designer feel to the kitchen. This same faucet will also be carried into the laundry room—because there is no reason your laundry should not enjoy the very same upscale, beautiful look and feel as the rest of your home.

Kitchen Tile

The backsplash in this home uses Emser Raku White Matte tile, a tile chosen for its handcrafted character and subtle movement. Unlike flat, lifeless tiles, the Raku series has a slightly pillowed edge and gentle variation, giving the wall texture and depth as light moves across it.

To elevate the design, the tile layout becomes part of the visual story. The tile will begin installed vertically along the lower section, then transition horizontally across the main backsplash area up to the window, before being repeated again in a vertical pattern above. This thoughtful change in direction adds architectural interest and a custom feelwhile still keeping the palette calm and timeless.

The window itself will be wrapped in tile and finished with metal jolly trim, creating clean, refined edges and a beautifully framed focal point. Details like this transform a simple white tile into something far more special.

The result is a backsplash that feels textured, intentional, and beautifully finished, proving that sometimes the simplest materials become extraordinary when designed well.


This shows the tile layout, it is NOT your house. It is specifically to show you the tile design. However your tile is different in look and size.

Pantry & Coffee Bar/Media Area

The walk-in pantry sits conveniently off the kitchen and even includes outlets for small appliances. Close to it is a flexible coffee bar/media nook offers cabinets and a USB outlet—making it perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks, or charging devices. At the center, you’ll also find a built-in space with an outlet designed for a mini fridge—ideal for beverages, snacks, creamer or anything you like to keep chilled. Not planning to add a fridge? This versatile spot can easily become a docking station for a plug-in robot vacuum or a dedicated pet-feeding zone where food and bowls stay neatly tucked away.

Pella Impervia Casement Windows + Craftsman Trim + New SL-30 Alder Doors

The home features Pella Impervia casement windows in white on the inside and black on the exterior, chosen for their exceptional strength, durability, and superior performance. Impervia windows are made from Pella’s proprietary fiberglass, a material that is stronger than vinyl and engineered to withstand extreme temperature changes without warping, cracking, or expanding.


What truly makes these windows special is that they are casement windows — widely considered the best performing window style available. Because they crank open outward, they create a tight compression seal when closed, making them more energy efficient and better at keeping wind and weather out than traditional sliding or double-hung windows.


Casement windows also allow you to capture breezes from multiple directions, helping naturally circulate fresh air throughout the home. Their sleek frames and large glass panels bring in more natural light and provide beautiful, unobstructed views.


Finished in a clean white interior, these windows keep the home feeling bright, timeless, and versatile, while the fiberglass construction ensures long-term performance with minimal maintenance. While the exterior of the window is black for a modern farmhouse look.


Simply put, Pella Impervia casement windows deliver strength, efficiency, and elegance—the perfect frame for a home designed to last for generations.


Pair them with Wardcraft’s Craftsman trim in Alder and the brand-new SL-30 interior doors, also in Alder, and you have a truly upgraded finish. This is a 3 square panel door. The coordinated stain across windows, trim, cabinetry, and doors creates a cohesive, high-end aesthetic that feels thoughtful, timeless, and undeniably custom. We chose the Kwikset Milan lever handle in black instead of a traditional round knob for both style and function. The clean, modern lever design gives the doors a more updated architectural look while also being much easier to use—especially when your hands are full. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference, adding a subtle upgrade you’ll appreciate every day.

Master Suite

This suite features a 7' x 4' Onyx whit shower. A spacious 4" shelf runs the full width of the shower, giving you abundant room for shampoos, soaps, and body wash. Perfectly paired with the built-in 16" bench, it creates a comfortable, accessible space that adapts to your needs over time. You'll also have an ultra wide recessed caddy on the back wall for addtional storage. The shower door will be semi framelss with a fixed panel and black handles.

You'll have a semi frameless shower door (not shown), A rain shower head, regular shower head and a hand wand. The back shelf will be 4" wide and the bench will be 16".

It’s not just the bench that’s forward-thinking—it’s the combination of features working together: the bench, the full-width shelf, and the handheld shower discreetly tucked along the side wall. This placement keeps it conveniently within reach, yet out of the way, making showering seated a breeze and cleaning the space effortless. It’s a small design decision with a big impact—one that continues to support comfort and independence as you age in place.


Even the controls are designed with flexibility in mind. The rain shower head and handheld wand share one set of temperature controls, while the main wall-mounted shower head has its own dedicated controls. That means this two-person shower can comfortably accommodate two users at once—each with their own preferred temperature setting.


The result is a shower that’s not only spa-like, but thoughtfully engineered for convenience, accessibility, and shared living.


The walk-in closet maximizes storage with double poles, built-in shelves, and a 7-shelf shoe/jeans, sweaters etc organizer. Double vanities with a wood wrapped mirror and an 18' linen cabinet add even more function and storage to this serene suite.

Laundry

This home’s laundry room is more than functional—it’s a design feature. In the laundry room, we introduced Express Taupe painted cabinetry to beautifully complement the Knotty Alder cabinets in Pecan stain found in the kitchen and bathrooms. While the laundry cabinets are painted rather than Alder, the carefully selected Taupe tone was chosen because it pairs perfectly with the deeper undertones of the Pecan Alder.

This thoughtful pairing allows the spaces to feel coordinated without repeating the exact same cabinetry, creating a look that feels fresh, layered, and intentionally designed. The painted finish keeps the laundry room feeling light and refined, while still connecting visually to the rich warmth of the Alder wood elsewhere in the home.

It’s a subtle design decision that brings balance and sophistication, proving that even hardworking spaces like the laundry room deserve the same level of thoughtful design as the kitchen.15). The color change adds a modern design element while still keeping the home cohesive.


Your laundry room will feature the Blanco Quatrus stainless steel sink, designed with an extra-deep 12-inch bowl that easily handles soaking clothes, rinsing muddy boots, washing pets, or filling large buckets. Paired with the sink is the black Moen Genta pull-down sprayer faucet, the same beautiful faucet used in the kitchen, creating a cohesive and elevated look throughout the home.

Many builders treat the laundry room as an afterthought, but Wardcraft designs it as the command center of a rural home—a hardworking space where everyday life happens, built with the same attention to quality, function, and style as the rest of the house.

The laundry also includes built-in cubbies which will be made out of Alder and stained Pecan to match the rest of the wood work in the home. A large sink is a necessity with a pull down spreayerasame as the kitchen faucet. A large window that will flood the room with light, a full linen cabinet, cabinets above, and a hanging rod with shelf for drying your clothes. A pole and shelf in the laundry room keeps it all in one spot—hang things up when you’re not ready to put them away, let them dry, and tackle it when you’ve got the time. Because sometimes, chores can wait ‘til tomorrow. 


With more families seeking larger laundry spaces for storage, hobbies, and even pet care, this room adds both day-to-day function and long-term value.

Same color pallet as the kitchen other than Express Windsor 15 doors that will match the kitchen cabinet doors but in Taupe for a nice neutral clean looking laundry area.
