THE STORY

Every home has a story. Here is how this one came to life.

When the homeowners first approached Cornerstone Homes, they arrived with a clear vision but an open mind. They had been searching the Claremore and greater Rogers County area for years, waiting for the right piece of land and the right builder to bring their dream home to life. What they wanted was something that felt distinctly modern yet deeply rooted in the warmth and character of rural Oklahoma. They envisioned a home where clean architectural lines could coexist with natural textures, where every room had a sense of purpose, and where the property itself would become a gathering place for family and friends throughout the Tulsa metro area. From the earliest conversations, the Cornerstone team recognized that this project was about more than square footage and finishes. It was about crafting a lifestyle.

The design process for the Willow was a true collaboration between the homeowners and the Cornerstone Homes design team. Together, they explored dozens of floor plan iterations before arriving at the split-layout concept that defines the home. Placing the master suite on the main level, separated from the secondary bedrooms and upstairs media room, gave the homeowners both privacy and connection under one roof. The decision to incorporate a seasonal-height walk-in closet in the master suite came from a desire to make everyday routines feel luxurious, while the dedicated home office positioned off the main living area ensured that working from home in Claremore would never feel like a compromise. Every decision was intentional, from the placement of the powder bath for guest convenience to the orientation of windows that capture the Oklahoma sunrise over the rolling Rogers County landscape.

Material selection for the Willow was guided by a philosophy of honest, enduring craftsmanship. The mixed brick and siding exterior was chosen not only for its striking modern farmhouse aesthetic but also for its resilience against the demanding Oklahoma climate, where hot summers, ice storms, and high winds are all part of life. Inside, the Cornerstone team sourced materials that balanced beauty with durability: wide-plank engineered hardwood floors throughout the main living areas, custom-milled trim details that echo traditional farmhouse profiles, and a kitchen designed around both serious cooking and casual entertaining. The large upstairs media room was engineered with enhanced soundproofing and pre-wired for a full home theater system, giving the family a dedicated retreat for movie nights and game days without disturbing the rest of the household.

Perhaps the most transformative element of the Willow is the outdoor living space. The homeowners knew from the start that they wanted a pool and pool house, but the Cornerstone team helped them think bigger. The result is a seamlessly integrated indoor-outdoor experience, with covered patios that flow naturally from the main living areas to the pool deck, a fully equipped pool house with its own kitchenette and changing area, and landscaping that takes advantage of the native Oklahoma terrain. The pool house serves as a self-contained entertaining hub during the warmer months, and the thoughtful hardscaping means the outdoor areas remain beautiful and functional even through the cooler seasons. Situated in the heart of the Claremore community, the Willow stands as a testament to what is possible when homeowners with a bold vision partner with a builder committed to exceptional quality.

From the initial land consultation through final walkthrough, the Cornerstone Homes team guided the homeowners through every phase of construction with transparency, communication, and an unwavering commitment to getting the details right. The Willow was completed on schedule and has since become one of the most admired custom homes in the Claremore area, drawing attention from neighbors and visitors alike who appreciate the seamless blend of contemporary design and timeless Oklahoma hospitality that defines every corner of this remarkable residence.

KEY FEATURES

Discover the standout features and custom details that define this home.

Mixed Brick & Siding Exterior

The Willow showcases a carefully composed exterior that pairs traditional Oklahoma brick with crisp board-and-batten siding. This mixed-material approach delivers authentic modern farmhouse character while providing exceptional weather resistance against the variable Rogers County climate, ensuring the home looks stunning for decades to come.

Master Suite with Seasonal Closet

The main-level master suite is a private retreat featuring a spacious seasonal-height walk-in closet designed to accommodate full wardrobe rotation without sacrificing organization. Vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom with dual vanities and a freestanding soaking tub complete the experience.

Split-Plan Layout

Thoughtfully designed with a split floor plan, the Willow places the master suite on the opposite side of the home from the secondary bedrooms. This arrangement ensures privacy for the homeowners while keeping guest rooms and family spaces comfortably connected through the central great room and kitchen.

Upstairs Media Room

A generous upstairs media room provides the perfect space for movie nights, game-day gatherings, and family entertainment. Pre-wired for surround sound and featuring enhanced soundproofing between floors, this room was designed to deliver a true home theater experience without disturbing the living spaces below.

Dedicated Home Office

Positioned just off the main living area for convenient access, the home office features built-in cabinetry, ample natural light, and a door for privacy during calls and focused work. This purpose-built workspace reflects the growing importance of comfortable remote work environments in modern Claremore homes.

Pool & Pool House

The resort-style pool and fully equipped pool house transform the backyard into a year-round entertaining destination. The pool house includes its own kitchenette, changing area, and covered lounge space, creating a self-contained outdoor living experience that takes full advantage of the warm Oklahoma seasons.

Oversized 3-Car Garage

An oversized three-car garage provides generous space for vehicles, storage, and workshop activities. Finished with epoxy flooring, built-in storage systems, and direct interior access, the garage integrates seamlessly with the home while offering the practical utility that Oklahoma homeowners expect from a premium custom build.

DESIGN & FINISHES

A closer look at the materials, finishes, and design choices that bring this home to life.

Exterior Materials & Palette

The Willow exterior features a sophisticated palette of tumbled Oklahoma brick in warm grey tones paired with vertical board-and-batten fiber cement siding in a soft white finish. Standing-seam metal roofing accents above the front porch and garage bays add architectural depth and reinforce the modern farmhouse aesthetic. Black-framed divided-lite windows and custom iron lighting fixtures provide contrast, while natural cedar beams at the entry and patio ceilings introduce warmth and texture that ground the home in its rural Claremore setting.

Interior Finishes & Millwork

Inside, the Willow is defined by wide-plank white oak engineered hardwood flooring that runs throughout the main level, creating visual continuity and warmth. Shaker-style custom cabinetry in a matte white finish is topped with honed quartzite countertops in the kitchen and leathered granite in the bathrooms. Custom millwork includes six-inch baseboards, craftsman-profile door casings, and shiplap accent walls in the living room and master bedroom. Ceiling treatments range from exposed stained beams in the great room to tongue-and-groove planking in the master suite, each adding layers of character and craftsmanship.

Kitchen & Living Design

The open-concept kitchen and living area is the heart of the Willow, designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining. A twelve-foot center island with waterfall quartzite edges anchors the kitchen, complemented by a full-height tile backsplash in a herringbone pattern and a commercial-style gas range with a custom ventilation hood. The adjacent great room features a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace flanked by built-in shelving, while oversized sliding glass doors connect the living space directly to the covered outdoor patio and pool area beyond.

Outdoor Living & Pool Design

The outdoor living area was designed as a natural extension of the home interior, with covered patios featuring stained tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings, recessed lighting, and a built-in outdoor kitchen with a natural gas grill, sink, and refrigerator. The geometric pool features a sun shelf, integrated spa, and LED lighting throughout. The pool house mirrors the main home exterior with matching brick and siding, and includes a full bathroom, kitchenette with bar seating, and a shaded lounge area. Native Oklahoma landscaping and Oklahoma flagstone hardscaping complete the resort-quality setting.

FAQ

Common questions about the Willow project and custom home building in Claremore, Oklahoma.

How long did it take to build the Willow from start to finish?

The Willow was completed in approximately eleven months from groundbreaking to final walkthrough. This timeline included all site preparation, foundation work, framing, mechanical systems, interior finishes, and the full pool and pool house construction. Cornerstone Homes maintained a detailed construction schedule throughout the process with regular progress updates, ensuring the homeowners were informed at every stage. Custom homes of this scope and complexity in the Claremore area typically range from ten to fourteen months depending on design specifics and weather conditions.

What makes the Willow a modern farmhouse rather than a traditional farmhouse?

The Willow blends classic farmhouse elements like board-and-batten siding, shiplap accent walls, and natural wood beams with distinctly contemporary features including clean geometric lines, large expanses of glass, a flat-profile metal roof, and an open-concept floor plan. The mixed brick and siding exterior adds a modern material contrast absent from traditional farmhouses, while the interior palette of matte finishes, honed stone, and minimalist hardware creates a refined aesthetic that feels fresh and current while honoring Oklahoma building traditions.

Can Cornerstone Homes build a similar custom home on my lot in Claremore?

Absolutely. Cornerstone Homes specializes in building custom homes throughout the Claremore and Rogers County area, and the team is experienced with a wide variety of lot conditions, soil types, and local building requirements. Whether you own land in an established Claremore neighborhood, a rural Rogers County acreage, or are still searching for the perfect property in the Tulsa metro area, Cornerstone can guide you through every step from site evaluation and design to permitting and construction.

What is the approximate cost per square foot for a custom home like the Willow?

Custom home pricing in the Claremore and Rogers County area varies based on design complexity, material selections, and site conditions. A home with the level of finish and features found in the Willow, including the pool and pool house, typically falls within a premium custom tier. Cornerstone Homes provides transparent budgeting from the earliest design stages, working closely with homeowners to align vision and investment so there are no surprises during the build process.

How does the split-plan layout benefit daily living in the Willow?

The split-plan layout places the master suite on the main level on one side of the home and the secondary bedrooms on the opposite side, separated by the shared living spaces. This design provides excellent privacy for the homeowners while keeping guest rooms accessible and comfortable. Families with older children or frequent visitors especially appreciate this configuration because it allows everyone in the household to enjoy their own space without feeling disconnected from the communal areas of the home.

Does Cornerstone Homes handle the pool and outdoor living construction as part of the custom home build?

Yes. One of the advantages of working with Cornerstone Homes on a project like the Willow is that the pool, pool house, outdoor kitchen, and all hardscaping are integrated into the overall construction plan from day one. This unified approach ensures that exterior and interior design elements are cohesive in materials and style, the construction timeline is coordinated to avoid delays, and the homeowner benefits from a single point of accountability for every aspect of the finished property.
