The Oxford Gets a Refresh—and More Room to Stretch Out

Sometimes a little more room makes a big difference. A family room with more space for the sectional you’ve been eyeing. A kitchen rearranged to make cooking and conversation feel more connected. A bedroom layout that lets you arrange your furniture differently.

Our updated Oxford brings those kinds of changes to a familiar favorite. It still has four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a first-floor owner’s suite, and an office near the front door. But a closer look at the floor plan reveals a larger family room, a reworked owner’s suite, and a fresh kitchen and pantry layout.

More room in the two-story family room

The two-story family room has always been one of the Oxford’s defining features. We’ve kept that sense of height and openness while adding some square footage.

That extra room gives you more flexibility for seating, furniture placement, and the inevitable moment when everyone ends up in the same room.

The kitchen and dinette remain connected to the family room, so whoever is finishing dinner can still be part of the conversation.

A fresh layout for the kitchen

The kitchen got some attention, too—and the changes reach beyond the cabinets. By rearranging the nearby laundry room, mudhall, and powder room, we made room for a different kitchen and pantry layout.

We reworked the cabinet and appliance arrangement, giving the kitchen a cleaner, more open look while keeping it connected to the dinette and family room. The walk-in pantry has been reconfigured, too, with more space to tuck away groceries and small appliances.

A new arrangement for the owner’s suite

The owner’s suite remains on the first floor, but we’ve switched the bedroom and bathroom locations. The bedroom now sits toward the front of the home, with the bath toward the rear and two walk-in closets between them.

We’ve also adjusted the bedroom’s proportions, creating new possibilities for arranging a bed, dresser, or favorite chair.

In the bath, the main layout includes a double vanity and shower. Prefer a long soak? An optional arrangement includes a soaking tub and separate shower, along with a different closet configuration. It’s a chance to choose the setup that fits your routine.

A new arrangement behind the scenes

Some of the Oxford’s changes happen between the garage and kitchen. The laundry room, mudhall, and powder room have all been rearranged as part of the kitchen and pantry redesign.

The separate laundry room stays, along with closet storage near the garage entry. These familiar conveniences now fit into a different layout, showing how rethinking one part of a floor plan can open up possibilities in another.

An office that stays—and an upstairs that feels familiar

The office still sits just off the front entry, giving you a dedicated place to work without borrowing one of the bedrooms. Its updated, longer shape offers a different way to arrange a desk, bookshelves, or a comfortable reading chair.

Upstairs, you’ll still find three bedrooms and a shared full bath, with walk-in closets in two of the bedrooms. We’ve adjusted the bedroom layouts and made the open hall more compact, while keeping the views down to the family room and entry.

A refreshed exterior, too

The updated rendering gives the Oxford a fresh look with soft green horizontal siding, white board-and-batten accents, shutters, and a welcoming covered porch. It’s an inviting combination with plenty of room to make the colors and details your own.

A little larger, with more space downstairs

The updated Oxford totals 2,556 square feet—about 65 square feet more than the previous plan, with the same base price. The bigger change is how that space is arranged, with more room on the main floor and a more compact upstairs.

That puts more of the home’s space on the main level, where the kitchen, family room, office, laundry, and owner’s suite are all close at hand.

If you’re planning to build on your land in Central Ohio, the Oxford offers a comfortable starting point—and room to make it yours.
