NEW! NEVER LIVED IN. Bloomfield Homes has built the Jasmine, a single-story plan with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a study, and a 3-car garage, expected complete and Ready in September 2026! Everything lives on one level here, set on an interior lot in a community built for getting outside — a swimming pool, six parks, and trails throughout. The elevation makes a current, sharp first impression: white brick with black trim, a clean high-contrast look, behind a three-car garage that gives you the extra bay for a truck, a workshop, or the storage that always runs short. Just inside, the study sits behind glass French doors, lit with added LED lighting, private enough for calls or focused work while still part of the main floor. Tall ceilings lift all spaces, while extensive windows are placed to let in beautiful natural light. The Deluxe Kitchen is set up for someone who loves cooking: built-in appliances, double ovens, a 5-burner gas cooktop, high-end granite counters, an island with custom cabinets, and under-cabinet lighting along the run. Wood-look tile runs through all the main areas — the durability of tile with the look of wood, and no carpet seams to catch in the living spaces. Upgraded granite carries through the baths as well. Natural gas heating and a tankless gas water heater keep utilities low and the hot water running without a tank taking up space. Outdoor living runs front to back with a covered porch and a covered back patio, the patio plumbed with a gas stub so the grill connects directly. Gutters and a full package of energy-saving components come standard, at no added cost, as they do in every home Bloomfield Homes builds. Come see the Jasmine at the Bloomfield Homes in The Oaks, we are open daily!

The home sits on an interior lot with a park view, in a community built for getting outside — a swimming pool, six parks, and trails throughout. The upgraded brick and stone front elevation carries a cedar wood garage door and an 8' tall front door, a finished, substantial look from the curb. Just inside, the study sits behind glass French doors, private enough for calls or focused work while still part of the main floor. Super tall ceilings lift the main living space, and the family room centers on a gas fireplace, open to the room and finished with decorative tile and logs. The Deluxe Kitchen carries a 4-burner cooktop, a single-basin stainless steel sink, and an island with custom cabinets that keeps the cook facing the room. RevWood flooring runs through the main areas of the first floor, with upgraded carpet in the bedrooms. Upstairs, upgraded horizontal iron balusters line the railing overlooking the family room below, a cleaner, more current look than standard vertical spindles. The baths are finished with patterned tile walls, a step past a plain surround. Outdoor living runs front to back with a covered porch and a covered patio, giving you shade on both ends of the house. Landscaping and a full package of energy-saving components come standard, at no added cost, as they do in every home Bloomfield Homes builds.

NEW! NEVER LIVED IN. Bloomfield Homes has built the Caraway, a single-story plan with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a deep 2-car garage, expected complete and Ready in September 2026! Everything lives on one level here, set on an interior lot with a park view, in a community built for getting outside — a swimming pool, six parks, and trails throughout. The brick and stone front elevation carries a cedar wood garage door and an 8' tall front door, a finished, substantial look from the curb. Bedroom 2 is built as a full suite with its own bath, so a guest, a parent, or an older kid gets a private space entirely their own — the kind of flexibility a single-story rarely offers. The family room centers on a fireplace wrapped in tile all the way to the ceiling, pre-wired with an outlet above for a mounted TV so nothing hangs down the wall. The Deluxe Kitchen is set up for someone who actually cooks: double ovens, a 5-burner gas cooktop, a white apron farm sink, and upgraded quartz counters with the room to work. Wood floors run through the main areas of the first floor, with upgraded carpet in the bedrooms. The primary bath carries a drop-in deck-mount tub, set into its own surround, with upgraded quartz counters carrying the finish through. A mud room off the garage catches shoes, bags, and sports gear before any of it reaches the rest of the house. Outdoor living runs front to back with a covered porch and a covered patio, giving you shade on both ends of the house, and an exterior lighting system keeps the elevation lit after dark. Gutters and a full package of energy-saving components come standard, at no added cost, as they do in every home Bloomfield Homes builds.
