THE STORY
Every home has a story. Here is how this one came to life.
When our homeowners first came to Cornerstone Homes, they had a clear vision and a practical mindset. They were a young couple starting their life together in Claremore, Oklahoma, and they wanted a home that felt intentional rather than inflated. They had seen too many cookie-cutter tract homes where builders stretched square footage with wasted hallway space and oversized rooms that served no real purpose. What they wanted instead was a custom home that prioritized smart design, quality materials, and the kind of craftsmanship that would hold up for decades. The Ling floor plan was the answer they had been searching for, offering an efficient single-story layout that delivered everything they needed without a single square foot of waste.
The design process for the Ling was a genuine collaboration between our team and the homeowners. We sat down together and mapped out how they actually lived day to day, identifying where they spent their mornings, how they entertained friends on weekends, and what kind of storage solutions would keep their home organized as life inevitably accumulated more belongings. Every decision in this 1,230 square foot plan was driven by those real-world conversations. The open-concept living and kitchen area became the heart of the home, flowing naturally so that cooking dinner and watching television never felt like separate activities happening in isolated rooms. The three bedrooms were positioned to give the primary suite genuine privacy from the secondary bedrooms, which was important to the homeowners even in a compact footprint.
Construction of the Ling moved efficiently thanks to the straightforward single-story design and the detailed planning that went into every phase. Our framing crew appreciated the clean lines and logical layout, which meant fewer complications during the build and a tighter envelope for energy efficiency. The homeowners visited the job site regularly throughout the process, watching their home take shape on a quiet lot in Rogers County. They were involved in selecting everything from the exterior siding color to the kitchen cabinet hardware, and our project managers made sure every choice was executed exactly as specified. That level of personal attention is what separates a Cornerstone custom home from a production build, regardless of the home size.
The finished Ling is proof that custom homes do not have to be massive to be remarkable. Walking through the front door, visitors are consistently surprised by how spacious the home feels despite its modest footprint. The vaulted ceilings in the main living area, the natural light pouring through strategically placed windows, and the seamless flow between rooms all contribute to a sense of openness that belies the actual square footage. The homeowners have told us repeatedly that they would not change a single thing about their home, and that is the highest compliment any builder can receive. The Ling stands as a testament to the idea that right-sized living, done with care and expertise, delivers more satisfaction than oversized homes filled with unused space.
For anyone considering building a custom home in Claremore or the surrounding Rogers County area, the Ling floor plan represents an important truth about modern homebuilding. You do not need three thousand square feet to have a home built specifically for you. Cornerstone Homes believes every family deserves the custom home experience, and the Ling is our commitment to that belief made tangible. From the foundation to the roofline, this home was built with the same premium materials, the same experienced crews, and the same unwavering attention to detail that we bring to every project we take on, no matter the size.
KEY FEATURES
Discover the standout features and custom details that define this home.
Open-Concept Living
The Ling combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas into one unified open-concept space that serves as the true heart of the home. By eliminating unnecessary walls and corridors, this layout creates a sense of spaciousness that makes the 1,230 square foot footprint feel significantly larger than it measures on paper, allowing natural light to travel freely throughout the main living zones.Split Bedroom Design
Privacy matters even in a compact floor plan. The Ling positions the primary bedroom suite on the opposite side of the home from the two secondary bedrooms, creating a split bedroom layout that gives homeowners genuine separation from guest rooms or future childrens rooms. This thoughtful arrangement ensures restful nights without sacrificing the efficient footprint that makes this plan so effective.Dual Full Bathrooms
Both bathrooms in the Ling are full-sized and finished with quality fixtures and materials that match the standards found in much larger Cornerstone homes. The primary bathroom features a walk-in shower with ceramic tile surround, a single vanity with solid surface countertop, and thoughtful storage solutions. The secondary bathroom serves the additional bedrooms with equal attention to finish quality and durability.Efficient 1,230 Sq Ft Layout
Every square foot in the Ling earns its place. Our design team eliminated wasted hallway space, oversized closets that encourage clutter, and rooms that serve no clear purpose. The result is a 1,230 square foot single-story plan where circulation flows logically, storage is built into the architecture rather than added as an afterthought, and every room functions exactly as intended for daily living.Attached 2-Car Garage
The Ling includes a full attached two-car garage that provides protected parking, workshop space, and additional storage without inflating the overall footprint of the home. The garage entry leads directly into a small mudroom transition area, keeping the main living spaces clean and organized. This practical addition ensures the home lives larger than its square footage suggests by keeping utility functions properly separated.Energy-Efficient Construction
A smaller home done right is inherently more energy efficient, and the Ling takes that advantage even further with upgraded insulation, low-E windows throughout, a high-efficiency HVAC system sized specifically for the floor plan, and LED lighting in every fixture. Homeowners consistently report utility bills that are a fraction of what they expected, making the Ling as affordable to operate as it is to build.Full-Featured Kitchen
The kitchen in the Ling proves that compact does not mean compromised. Featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry, and a functional island with breakfast bar seating, this kitchen delivers everything a home cook needs without wasted counter space or oversized pantries. The layout puts everything within easy reach, making meal preparation efficient and enjoyable in a space designed for real cooking.DESIGN & FINISHES
