One of the reasons people choose Garrette Custom Homes when searching for a home builder in Portland OR is the variety of floor plans we offer. Furthermore, our floor plans come with plenty of great standard features, as well as options that can help you fine tune the home to your ideal layout. One of our popular floor plans is St. Helens, a great example of why single-story homes appeal to a wide range of potential buyers.

One of the most significant benefits of a single-story home is accessibility. Without stairs to navigate, single-story homes are ideal for families with young children, older adults, or individuals with mobility challenges. This ease of movement enhances daily living and ensures safety for all residents.

You don’t need two stories for a spacious home that easily fits your lifestyle. The St. Helens plan offers 3-4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms, and 2,596 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. The open-plan layout of the kitchen and great room creates an ideal space for spending time with the family, and is also great for entertaining. While there’s a nook off the kitchen that can be used for casual dining, there’s also a dedicated dining room, perfect for family meals, holiday feasts, and delicious dinner parties. To add to the comfort and convenience of this home, there’s also a den located just off the front entry, ideal for a home office, as it is set apart from the hub of the home for peace and privacy.

We know that peace and privacy aren’t just for the den. The St. Helens layout offers the necessary personal space with its bedrooms. There are two spacious bedrooms located on one side of the home, with a central full bathroom between them. On the other side of the home, there’s a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bathroom, complete with optional skylight, and an impressive walk-in closet.

As well as a layout that easily meets your daily needs, you’ll find features and options throughout the home, adding to its appeal. There’s a walk-in kitchen pantry, a large laundry room, coffered ceilings in the entry hallway and great room, optional tray ceilings in the primary suite, dining room, and den, a covered back patio option, and a welcoming covered front porch with plenty of space to sit back and relax.

These are just some of the many reasons you’ll find the St. Helens floor plan so appealing. Don’t forget that single-story homes also typically have easier upkeep and are even more energy efficient.
