Craftsman-Style Ranch Home

2,400 Sq. Ft., 3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, Office, & Sunroom

Our August Home Plan of the Month features a charming Ranch-style home on a peaceful wooded lot. The homeowner's main goal was to create a forever home that would serve them well into retirement while also accommodating frequent visits from family. Other priorites included ensuring the enjoyment of the natural surroundings year round, building in ample storage, and designing a layout that is comfortable and functional for daily living and as well as hosting family gatherings.

"This was our first time building a home from the ground up, the entire process was unfamiliar to us. We also had the added complication of living several states away while our forever home was being built. While we were initially concerned, PortSide quickly helped put these concerns at ease, and we knew we were in good hands.

Alan, our Custom Home Designer, listened to our vision and goals for the home. He took the time to evaluate our lot for the best positioning and developed a home design that precisely captured our vision and met our needs.

Dawn, our Product Selection Specialist, was a tremendous help with product selection. For those who have never built a home, this can be overwhelming. Dawn streamlined the process, coordinated all the appointments with subcontractors, and offered valuable suggestions that enhanced the final look of our home.

During construction, Brandon, our Job Coordinator, kept us informed the entire time with phone calls, emails, and photos. We felt very confident with the entire process, even from another state.

Everything worked together like a well-oiled machine. We are very happy with our new home and feel confident recommending PortSide Builders to anyone considering building a new home."
