Published by Garrette Custom Homes

If you’re currently exploring Portland new homes or Puget Sound new homes, we think you should definitely check out our El Dorado floor plan. This spacious, flexible home design is ideal for a variety of homeowners, especially those looking for more space for home offices, homeschooling areas, as well as attractive design elements. The El Dorado has it all.

As with all of our home designs, the El Dorado has a number of design options available to help you create a home that is best suited to your family’s needs. With 4,123 square feet, you’re already starting off with a spacious plan that gives the whole family room to have some privacy, as well as gather together in comfort. This home has the option of four to six bedrooms, 3.5 to 5.5 bathrooms, and it has a three-car garage, two stories, and the primary bedroom suite on the ground floor. Among the other basic elements of a great home that you’ll find in this design are a separate dining room, a spacious great room, and a large kitchen with an island, walk-in pantry, and a nook off the kitchen, ideal for more casual dining or a cozy sitting area.

Along with the spacious bedrooms and bathrooms — the owner’s suite features a separate shower and soaking tub — this home offers up additional rooms and bonus spaces that really add to the comfort and convenience that are so important in a home. On a practical level, there’s a nicely sized mudroom just off the indoor entrance to the garage, ideal for avoiding inclement weather and keeping the home clean. The mudroom, which has an optional drop zone, leads to the large laundry room with an optional sink and closet for added convenience. There’s also a covered front porch and back patio area to add to the home’s appeal.

The features in this particular home design that are really catching people’s interest now are the den, just off the front entrance, and the partial second floor. The den, with optional doors, is ideal as a home office. As well as being set away from the main living area, providing peace and quiet, the fact that it’s located right off the front entryway makes it ideal if you have occasional clients coming in, as they don’t have to walk through the whole home to get to your office. Upstairs, there’s a partial second floor that has options for one or two bedrooms, along with another full bathroom. This level is great if you’re looking for a home schooling area or somewhere quiet if kids are doing remote learning. There’s even an optional built-in desk. Whether you choose one or two bedrooms on this level, you still have a spacious bonus room or a flex space that is ideal for a variety of purposes, including a home gym or simply a play area for kids.

It’s this kind of flexibility, along with the many options and the spacious layout, that make the El Dorado so attractive to a variety of people exploring Portland new homes and Puget Sound new homes. Add in design features such as tray ceilings and coffered ceilings, a fireplace and built-ins, as well as a variety of exterior elevations, and you’ll want to move in as soon as possible!
