This home is scheduled to start in July in Minden. Yes, we know that may feel like a while away — but our inventory homes are incredibly popular right now and are often selling months before construction even begins. So don’t wait.

Having a start date is actually a great thing — it gives you time to line up your concrete contractor and get everything moving on your schedule now, so your home is ready right when your foundation is.

If you love the Andover but want a smaller footprint this is the plan for you. The Andover is known for its beautiful Butler’s pantry, and this plan keeps that same idea of extra storage and prep space while adding a coffee bar for everyday convenience.

This inventory home was also designed to be our most economical option, saving money by selecting a standard shower configuration while still maintaining the quality finishes and thoughtful design you expect.

And don’t wait—the last one sold in just 1–2 weeks. Homes with this layout tend to go quickly.Pricing should be available by March 27th. Call your project manager now 1-888-927-3272 so you have the pricing first, it won't last. We are unsure of which plant this will be built in currently so it could shift to the one closest to you within the next week so reach out and let us know you are interested.

Kitchen

Benefits of Rustic Birch Cabinets

1. Natural Character Without Being “Too Knotty”

Rustic Birch gives you beautiful, authentic wood variation — soft grain shifts, mineral streaks, and subtle knots — without the heavy knots or rugged look of Rustic Alder. It feels warm and elevated rather than overly rustic.

2. Takes Stain Exceptionally Well

Birch is known for its smooth, even grain that absorbs stain beautifully. With a Mocha stain, you get a rich, consistent finish with depth — exactly what buyers associate with a high-end kitchen.

3. Stronger Than Many Softwoods

Birch is a hard, durable wood. It resists dents and everyday wear better than many similarly priced species, making it a great choice for long-term value in a high-traffic area like the kitchen.

Kitchen Details

Enjoy a 6-foot kitchen island thoughtfully designed to maximize storage and functionality. It features two sets of three drawers on each side, along with a center stack of two deep pot drawers—perfect for larger cookware and everyday essentials. Inside one of the drawers, a built-in silverware tray keeps your flatware neatly organized and within easy reach. To further enhance usability, the opposite side of the island includes cabinet doors, ideal for storing extra dishes, serving pieces, or entertaining essentials.

Your microwave is conveniently located above the oven, flanked by three drawers on each side for additional storage and symmetry. Completing the kitchen’s smart layout, a trash and recycle roll-out is placed right beside the undermount sink, keeping cleanup effortless and out of sight.

Your kitchen sink will be the BLANCO Diamond Super Single sink, crafted from BLANCO’s premium SILGRANIT granite composite. Made with roughly 80% natural granite, this sink has the strength and beauty of stone while offering exceptional durability for everyday use. It resists scratches, stains, chips, and even extreme heat, so it easily stands up to heavy cookware and hot pans.

The large single-bowl design gives you a generous workspace for washing oversized pots and baking sheets without fighting a divider, while the deep bowl keeps splashing contained. The surface itself is non-porous and hygienic, meaning it is easy to clean and helps resist bacteria buildup.

This is the kind of sink designed to perform beautifully for decades—a professional-quality workhorse with the refined look and feel of natural stone.

The kitchen will feature the Moen Modern Genta pull-down faucet in black, a sleek fixture that perfectly complements the white sink and brings a modern designer touch to the space. The deep black finish creates a beautiful contrast against the bright white sink, helping the faucet stand out as a subtle focal point rather than blending into the background. Black plumbing fixtures are typically a more premium finish option, adding a high-end look that feels both current and timeless. At Wardcraft, it’s details like this that elevate the home—carefully chosen finishes that create contrast, balance, and a polished designer look that makes the entire kitchen feel thoughtfully crafted and truly special.

Butler's Pantry

This space completely changes how you’ll use your kitchen. Imagine keeping your main kitchen spotless while moving all the meal prep, cooking, and baking behind the scenes.

When we first designed this feature, it was affectionately called “Mama’s Hideaway” — and honestly, the name stuck because it fits. With a large window inside the pantry, you could pull up a chair, gaze out at your backyard, and call it your private retreat. But let’s be real… it’s also the perfect spot to let your crock pot work its magic or line up your cookie sheets for baking — all while your main kitchen stays photo-ready.

You’ll find 4 doors with 4 drawers on top below the window for everything from utensils to baking tools and for storing larger appliances out of sight. Two upper cabinets provide even more storage for pantry staples. The 2 doors directly below the window contain roll out trays for added convience.

Across from the window wall, open shelves expand across the back wall, giving you plenty of space for food storage — and yes, we thought of everything: outlets are built right into the shelving (3 total) along with a USB outlet just in case you turn this into a true “Mama’s Hideaway” and want to charge your phone while you relax.

✨ With four overhead lights, this entire space is bright, functional, and ready for anything — from a coffee bar to meal prep central. It’s one of those designs that just makes sense. See the genius now?

Tile

Completing the look, the backsplash features Emser Passion Raku 3x12 White matte tile installed in a clean horizontal pattern. This tile is a beautiful neutral choice because it brings softness and texture to the space without competing with the cabinetry or countertops. The matte finish diffuses light rather than reflecting it, which keeps the kitchen feeling calm and refined while also helping to hide fingerprints and everyday splashes that glossy tiles often highlight.

The 3x12 elongated shape gives the tile a modern proportion, but the slightly handcrafted look and subtle variation in the glaze keep it from feeling trendy or overly formal. Instead, it creates a surface that feels timeless and quietly sophisticated—exactly what you want in a home designed to look just as beautiful years from now as it does the day you move in.

To create a cohesive design throughout the home, this same tile is thoughtfully repeated in the coffee bar, laundry room, and butler’s pantry. Carrying the material into these spaces ties the entire home together visually, giving each area its own purpose while maintaining a consistent, polished design language that feels intentional from room to room.

Coffee Bar/Flex Space

This is such a fabulous and functional space. Tucked next to the dining area — just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the main kitchen — is your own serving space, media hub, or coffee bar.

These spaces actually came about because my daughter turns the entire kitchen into a coffee-making bonanza. Having a dedicated spot like this keeps your main countertops clean and your sanctuary humming right along.

Use it as a coffee bar, a media nook, or a serving station during gatherings. There’s even an outlet for a mini fridge below, perfect for chilled beverages, creamer, bar essentials, or grab-and-go drinks just steps from the dining table.

Don’t need a mini fridge? Turn the lower area into a pet-feeding station — bowls stay put and stay out of your kitchen walkway. A small space with big personality and even bigger flexibility. Let it become whatever your lifestyle needs most.

Laundry

This may be a smaller floorplan, but you’d never know it from this beautifully sized laundry room! With a large window to enjoy the light and view, a large sink and coat hooks across the back wall, this space works hard and looks good doing it. You’ll get the same tile that is in the kitchen and coffee bar. The laundry room will feature the BLANCO LIVEN 25 Single Laundry Sink, a beautifully designed utility sink that combines durability with modern style. Made from BLANCO’s patented SILGRANIT granite composite, this sink is engineered to resist scratches, stains, and heat while remaining easy to clean thanks to its non-porous surface. One of its most practical features is its generous 12-inch-deep bowl, providing plenty of space for soaking, scrubbing, hand-washing delicate items, or filling buckets for larger cleaning tasks.

Choosing a BLANCO sink in the laundry room also creates a cohesive design story with the BLANCO kitchen sink, carrying the same modern lines, high-quality material, and thoughtful craftsmanship throughout the home. This continuity of materials is one of the subtle ways Wardcraft homes feel professionally designed—where even hardworking spaces like the laundry room receive the same level of attention and quality as the kitchen. The laundry room will feature the same Moen Genta pull-down sprayer faucet used in the kitchen, because the laundry deserves to look just as beautiful and work just as well as the kitchen. The sleek design and pull-down functionality make it incredibly practical for rinsing out buckets, soaking clothes, or cleaning up after a long day. It’s a small detail many builders overlook, but one that makes a big difference in how this hardworking space both looks and performs every day.

Windows

The windows in this home are Pella Impervia® casement windows in black, inside and out. Their thicker, finished profile creates a clean, complete look that instantly elevates every room — adding that subtle wow factor and timeless charm. This will melt right into the dark woodwork, visually expanding the space and making your trim appear even thicker and more architectural.

Casement windows are an ideal choice for homes in high-wind areas, as they seal tightly when closed and open outwardto catch breezes when you want fresh air. Unlike sliding windows, casements provide an uninterrupted, full-pane view, allowing natural light to pour in without dividing lines.

The Pella Impervia® series is crafted from Duracast fiberglass — one of the strongest, most durable window materials available. It resists warping, rotting, and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance and low maintenance. Combined with their smooth, easy-to-use crank operation, these windows deliver the perfect blend of beauty, strength, and everyday convenience — hallmarks of every Wardcraft home.

Trim/Doors

One of the signature details that define the quality of a Wardcraft home is our Craftsman trim, finished in a clean, timeless white. Paired with our standard 2 panel solid core Oak doors stained to match your kitchen cabinets in that dark rich color.

Enjoy 3-foot door openings including the front door, exterior door from laundry, laundry to hallway, and the butler’s pantry. These wider doors make everyday life easier in so many ways. Moving furniture in and out is simpler, carrying laundry baskets or boxes takes less effort.  It’s one of those thoughtful details that makes your home more comfortable, functional, and ready for whatever the future holds.

Closets

All closets are thoughtfully designed with built-in shoe shelving, providing dedicated space for footwear at the bottom and ample shelving above for sweaters, jeans, and other foldable items. In children’s bedrooms, these shelves can easily be used for games, toys, or storage bins, adapting as needs change.

To maximize organization and capacity, every closet features double hanging rods, offering twice the hanging space compared to a standard layout. The primary suite closet is enhanced with three overhead lights for excellent visibility, while each secondary bedroom closet includes two overhead lights—a convenient and often overlooked amenity that makes everyday organization easier.

Bathrooms

All bathrooms feature Moen Gibson single-handle faucets in black, delivering a sleek, modern look with effortless everyday function. The streamlined design offers smooth temperature control and easy one-hand operation for lasting comfort and convenience. Each faucet is thoughtfully paired with matching Gibson shower fixtures for a cohesive finish throughout, and backed by Moen’s trusted quality and long-standing warranty for peace of mind you can count on.

The primary suite features our standard Maxx 6036X AFR AcrylX shower, designed with a smooth, easy-care surface and a full-length built-in shelf across the entire 60" × 36" space, giving you plenty of room for shampoos and everyday essentials. Side ledges provide added convenience for shaving or extra storage.

Future needs are already considered — reinforced wall blocking is installed behind the shower walls, making grab bars easy to add at any time. Sleek black-framed bypass glass doors complete the look.

An 18" linen cabinet offers generous storage for towels and daily supplies, and Bath #1 also includes its own 18" linen — a small luxury that makes a big difference.

Electrical

✨ We’ve outlined each electrical section with this symbol.

Anywhere you see ✨, you’ll find details about the lighting, outlets, and switches designed to make your home as functional as it is beautiful.

Rest easy we have taken care of it. Every light in this home has been carefully and intentionally placed. The result is a home that feels bright and welcoming during the day and warm and inviting in the evening. Thoughtful lighting placement enhances function, creates ambiance, and highlights the craftsmanship that makes this home truly special.

This home features three pendants gracefully positioned above the island, complemented by sleek black finishes throughout. All fixtures are from Kichler Lighting, ensuring lasting quality and timeless performance. We know how important it is for homeowners to control their lighting, whether bright for cooking or soft for a relaxed evening. That’s why we thoughtfully designed this home with separate dimmers for the kitchen/pendants (on same dimmer) and living room lights, allowing you to set the ambiance that feels just right. The LED lights throughout the kitchen, dining, and living room are fully adjustable—shift from a cozy 2700K warm glow to crisp 5000K daylight, and dim them all the way down to 5%, including the pendants. It’s these small, intentional details, like adjustable lighting and individualized dimmers, that make a Wardcraft home exceptional. You'll also get upgraded rocker switches and outlets throughout your home.

We’ve even included the electrical layout on the floorplan PDF pages so you can see for yourself just how thoughtfully every switch and light was planned.

Exterior

When it comes to your exterior design, you have options. Build the porch or garage that best fits your lifestyle — whether that’s no garage, or one with 1, 2, or 3 doors. Our team can help you draft the perfect layout. You can also choose your own porch and garage design or save money by building them on-site later at your convenience. Yes, you can also choose to have siding in the gables or shingles and choose the color. Keep in mind our inventory homes are buil to KS and NE code thus can only be moved anywhere we build in those states.

Your siding is Light Grey with the white trim, facia and soffit. Not to mention those nice Pella Impervia windows with black exterior.
