Throughout the natural splendor of Central Oregon, cities and towns of all sizes offer incredible places to call home. The vast majority of residents here love spending time outside—and they want their homes to reflect their many interests and hobbies. Here, we take a closer look at some of our most popular floor plans for Central Oregon and tell you why the locals love them.
The Cashmere
This 3,120-square-foot Pacific Northwest classic includes three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an incredible amount of living space in a creative, functional, one-story floor plan.
Throughout the sprawling ranch home, large windows let in ample light and provide views of the surrounding property. In addition to the charming front porch, you have the option to add a large covered patio at the back of the house, right off the great room, which is perfect for hosting parties, dining al fresco, or just enjoying an evening under the stars. And to cater to active, adventurous homeowners, The Cashmere offers a mudroom at the garage entry.
The master suite is located on the opposite side of the house from the two other bedrooms, giving your guests plenty of privacy—and making the home perfect for long-term visitors or multigenerational living. It’s also great for growing families, of which there are plenty in our tight-knit communities. The open floor plan and spacious great room are ideal for a lively family, and a large bonus room creates even more flex space. The home even includes a roomy den near the master suite that could be used as a convenient nursery.
