CUSTOM HOME :: We can’t help but fall in love with this transitional Tudor in a quaint area of Downers Grove just a couple blocks west of Prince Park with brick streets and so many trees. This home is filled with new charm but its character perfectly complements the neighborhood. The exterior blends painted brick with Hardie clapboard siding and a shingle roof; but our favorite feature is the timeless arched front entry with custom wood door. This home features 4 BR and also includes a study perched above the detached garage. Thoughtful design details such as oversized windows and elevated trim carry throughout the home. Read more HERE.

The all-glass front vestibule and attached covered porch with masonry fireplace offer distinctive exterior features.

Linscott Ave
Sold
CUSTOM HOME :: About 6 months after finishing a separate project in Downers Grove, one of that client's family members approached us about their own custom build. Inspired by their vision for a modern Tudor, we set about designing the architectural plans for their home. The addition of curved rooflines, doors and windows add great visual interest while the dramatic two story window floods this home's entry with natural light. Inside, rooms were carefully designed with the homeowner's practical use in mind; a desk nook tucked away, an oversized dining space in lieu of a more formal dining room, and a family room with french doors opening to the backyard.

Park Ave

CUSTOM HOME :: After living in, and coming to love the Randall Park neighborhood of Downers Grove this client didn't necessarily want to leave. But they got the itch to build and customize their dream home. When a dream lot across from Randall Park came on the market they knew it was the one for them. After reaching out to friends and neighbors for referrals they came to Oakley to discuss their vision which led us designing this inviting home for them. The wide, expansive brick porch, triple dormers and lower eave line all create a cozy, casual sophistication that gives a nod to southern charm - and provides the perfect vantage point for the park views.
