"Wow on a Budget" is the theme for this year’s Oasis Custom Homes entry in the Parade. This striking "Dahlia" model home has many architectural touches inside and out to make it a stand-out at a surprisingly low price. Always value-oriented, this Oasis Custom Home offers great ways to save: (1) "Live large" in a home of modest square footage at only 2,599; (2) Converted 3rd car garage to health studio; (3) Vaulted bonus room for games or tv; (4) Exterior living space/patio; (5) Window seats in secondary bedrooms for a lifetime of childhood memories; and numerous cost effective interior design ideas and tricks you can use, courtesy of designer Juli Schilling.

"We wanted to merge creativity with practicality for Parade-goers so they could walk away with some useable ideas. Additionally we wanted them to know that ‘wow’ can be delivered on a tight budget," explained home builder Leslie Savitch. His company, Oasis Custom Homes by Varsity Development LLC has been active in Eastern Washington for 30 years and has become known as the builder of "Homes for Growing Families" with homes priced from $174,900 to $279,900.
