Barley Mill Courts Custom Home in Greenville, DE

Key Features and Highlights: Inside the Barley Mill Courts Custom Home

Welcoming Entryway and Open Floor Plan

The journey begins in the open floor plan entryway, where engineered hardwood, ample natural light, and statement lighting fixtures welcome you into this airy abode. Large black-trim windows with mullions lend a moody punctuation to every light, bright corner. The entry seamlessly connects to the main living spaces, where classic neutral tones and carefully curated textures set the tone for refined yet comfortable living.

Gourmet Kitchen: A Chef’s Dream

At the heart of the home lies a striking L-shaped kitchen designed for cooking and entertaining. Its shaker kitchen design includes rich gray, painted cabinetry and an island that serves as both a functional workspace and a social hub. The island features ample storage, a built-in sink, and is illuminated by double-statement pendant lights. The backsplash—a continuation of the white stone countertops—extends up the walls, creating a cohesive and luxurious look that’s easy to clean. A Wolf range and other high-end appliances ensure this kitchen performs as beautifully as it looks. Brass fixtures and a contrasting black countertop and statement backsplash on the beverage station add a touch of sophistication.

A Cozy and Stylish Living Space

Adjacent to the kitchen, the living area invites relaxation with a grey stone fireplace, mirroring the stone veneer from the home’s exterior. The classic wood mantle offers a nod to traditional design, while the expansive layout makes it a perfect space for entertaining or quiet evenings in.

Functional Elegance: Lovely Laundry

Behind the scenes, the dedicated first-floor laundry space combines practicality with style. It carries through the kitchen’s cabinetry and hardware, offering a cohesive design. This space features a stacked washer and dryer, an undermount sink, and generous storage.

The Luxurious Primary Suite

The primary suite floor plan is designed for comfort and privacy. A spacious walk-in closet provides ample storage, while the ensuite bathroom is a sanctuary of relaxation. The bathroom showcases light gray double vanities with ample prep space. A frameless shower door opens to a walk-in shower with large-format tiles, multiple showerheads, including a rainfall shower overhead, and in-shower seating. 

Thoughtfully Designed Guest Bathrooms

Each guest bathroom is tailored for comfort and style. The second bathroom features a glass shower enclosure, geometric tiles, and a separate water closet, offering serious privacy. The third bathroom incorporates a tub-shower combo with reeded cabinetry, large-format wall tiles, and charming sconces that enhance its inviting ambiance. These bathroom vanity ideas demonstrate how practicality and aesthetics can coexist beautifully.

Outdoor Living Elevated

For homeowners who love entertaining, the outdoor space is as inviting as the interiors. A cozy outdoor fireplace is the focal point, creating a perfect gathering spot for family and friends year-round. The smaller lot posed a challenge, but the landscaping was designed to maximize usability without feeling cramped, proving that luxury living doesn’t always require sprawling acreage.

Built to Last: Foundation and Structure

At the core of this home’s design is a Superior Walls foundation, which provides a durable and energy-efficient base. This feature ensures the home’s structural integrity and simplifies future basement finishing. It’s a practical investment that enhances the home's long-term value.

Challenges Met with Expertise

Every custom home presents unique challenges, and Barley Mill Courts was no exception. The lot size posed an initial hurdle. It was smaller than typical for a home of this scale, requiring creative solutions to fit the client’s vision.

Bromwell Construction’s design-build approach proved invaluable. By carefully orienting the home on the lot and refining the layout, our team avoided the need for expensive stormwater management systems, saving the clients both time and money. We meticulously planned to maximize space, ensuring the home felt expansive despite the smaller footprint.

Another challenge was balancing luxurious amenities and practical maintenance. The homeowners, avid travelers, needed a space that felt upscale but wouldn’t demand constant upkeep. From selecting durable materials to creating low-maintenance outdoor spaces, Bromwell’s expertise helped bring this balance to life.
