Escape from the city of Seattle to a new home in Gig Harbor. Whether you are retiring or looking to raise a family, life in Puget Sound can be active for the outdoor water enthusiast or serene for the settled explorer. As a result, your home should be customized for your lifestyle. Let the Cascade home design from Garrette Custom Homes compliment you with choices of design options and features.

This 3003 square-foot home has the possibility of up to five bedrooms, includes plenty of storage space, and a variety of room options that are perfect for work, relaxation, or play. The Cascade offers so many design options that you’re sure to find the perfect combination. As with all Garrette Custom Home builds, you’ll find plenty of additional options in both home layout and interior features.

Starting with the main layout of the Cascade, you find yourself with a home design that features three bedrooms, including a master suite, 2.5 bathrooms, a den, dining room, great room, spacious kitchen with dining nook, optional upstairs bonus room, front porch, back patio, and a three-car garage. This is already a dream layout for a home in Gig Harbor, and with the variety of options available, the Cascade allows for plenty of great natural light throughout the home.

There are five exterior elevation options that all feature attractive front porches to welcome you into the home, and spacious windows throughout the rest of the home complete the look.

The home boasts a coffered ceiling in the foyer and continues with a balanced layout of both private and open spaces. An open and spacious kitchen with an island, walk-in pantry, and dining nook are perfect for more casual routines, while the dining room provides separation for defined events.

A double door entry leads into the master bedroom suite. The master bedroom has an optional tray ceiling and direct access to a private master patio. From the patio you might be able to view Mount Rainer in the distance of your new home in Gig Harbor. The master bedroom also features a spa-like bathroom, dual-sink vanity, a luxurious bathtub with arched entrance, multiple separate shower options, including a walk-in tile shower and a curbless tile shower. The bathroom also features a separate toilet room, a linen closet, and access to the large walk-in closet.

While the Cascade is single level living at its best, it can feature an additional optional upstairs bonus room for extra square feet. This bonus room could be used as a kids play area, a home gym, a home movie theater, craft room, or so much more. One option also includes a powder room for convenience. Another option turns this space into an additional bedroom with its own bathroom, making it ideal for multi-generational living by providing a separate area with more privacy.

The variety of layout options doesn’t end here. The front den and dining area can be turned into a second master suite with another full bedroom with its own full bathroom and walk-in closet. Alternatively, if you don’t need a formal dining room, it can be turned into a larger coat closet in the entry hallway, along with a powder room and walk-in storage area.

The options available for this home design don’t stop here. The Cascade is the perfect example of how you can easily fine-tune any home design to meet your needs and personal taste.
