Written by Elizabeth | Jan 15, 2026

 

Welcome to the newest chapter in our custom home journey! As a part of The Oaks Development, we are thrilled to introduce a stunning new project coming to life in the highly sought-after village of Hinsdale, IL. This residence is more than a structure; it's a meticulously crafted vision designed to serve as a repository of memories waiting to be made, combining classic architectural forms with a distinctly contemporary lifestyle.

A Sophisticated Blend Suited for Hinsdale

The exterior of this custom home embodies a timeless European-inspired aesthetic, characterized by a harmonious blend of rich, textural materials that feel perfectly integrated into Hinsdale's classic landscape. 

The front facade commands attention with its classic brickwork accented by limestone details and a classic arched entryway. The slate-gray roof and dark copper accents on the dormers add a layer of depth and sophistication.

The rear of the home features a spectacular, sun-drenched covered porch, blurring the lines between inside and out and ensuring that outdoor living is both seamless and stylish. This space is designed to capture the beauty of the surrounding landscape year-round.

 

The Heart of the Home: Fluidity and Light

Inside, the home is designed for the demands of modern life while retaining a sense of refined elegance. Like many of our projects, this home will feature soaring ceilings on the main level, instantly captivating you with a sense of spaciousness. Oversized windows throughout ensure the space is perpetually flooded with natural light, enhancing the warm, earthy palette we plan to utilize.

The layout is designed for a fluid transition between the Family Room, Kitchen, and Walk-up Bar, easily accommodating both the daily rhythm of family life and the demands of grand entertaining. 

 

Indulgence in Every Detail

Upstairs, the Primary Suite is envisioned as a true private escape. Imagine vaulted ceilings and a spa-like Primary Bath designed for pure indulgence, complete with a freestanding soaking tub and curbless shower. The remaining bedrooms will be generously sized, offering comfortable, private retreats for family or guests.

 

A Look Below: Spa Basement

 

The commitment to maximizing every square foot extends to the lower level. The finished basement will be transformed into the ultimate entertainment zone, featuring a stylish walk-up wet bar, a versatile rec room, and a dedicated space for wellness with a sauna and cold plunge.

 

This is more than just a house; it’s a vision taking shape, a testament to the power of custom design and execution. Follow along for exclusive insights into the design process of this stunning Hinsdale home!
