Our Forever Home:

Our Forever Home:

My wife and I built a custom home in Central Point, where we lived for 35 years. We loved that home and thought that would be where we lived the rest of our days. After our eldest grandchildren moved away with our youngest son and daughter-in-law to Portland, we were compelled to follow them. As much as we both loved our previous home, we love our new Garrette Custom Home (GCH) far more!

All of the master-on-main floor plans that GCH offers are well-designed, welcoming and very livable. Their Shasta XXL was perfect for us. The living space that we would mostly enjoy is all on the first floor. The second floor provides us with a second private master bedroom, a media room, a computer desk nook and a bonus room. It is such a perfect place for guests to stay that we are hopeful our eldest son, daughter-in-law and youngest grandson will visit us more and stay longer.



While I surmise that it complicated construction for GCH, my wife and I were allowed to make several design changes that suited our lifestyle, such as; a separate RV garage & shop, a sun room with panoramic doors on opposing sides and a completely redesigned guest master bathroom. There were many other less involved changes which GCH also allowed, such as; framing out for a wall safe, cabinetry modifications and fits & finishes throughout the house. Lastly, after having already received a site plan building permit, GCH allowed us to reposition the home in order to maximize the view from our 5-acre property of four mountains; Mount Rainer, Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams and Mount Hood. Even though this threw a monkey wrench into their construction schedule, GCH put our needs ahead of theirs.

All of the GCH personnel who we had the privilege and pleasure of consulting while our home was designed and constructed are courteous, knowledgeable professionals who provided outstanding advice and expertise throughout the entire construction process. GCH personnel had transformed a 30 acre hayfield on top of Bald Peak into 6 custom homes on 5-acre parcels in less than 1 year start to finish. It was amazing to witness.

After construction was completed, my wife and I were presented at our new home with keys and a sign that read simply Welcome Home! Perfect!
