Associated Designs | The Packwood: Mountain Craftsman Retreat

Nestled among towering evergreens and designed to capture the soul of mountain living, the Packwood is more than a house—it's a retreat. With its rugged Craftsman charm, soaring gables, and warm rustic details, this home plan by Associated Designs, Inc. is perfectly suited for sloped, forested lots where nature takes center stage. Whether you're sipping coffee on the vaulted balcony or entertaining guests in the open-concept living spaces, the Packwood offers an inviting blend of comfort, luxury, and timeless style.

(PRUnderground) May 6th, 2025

The Packwood is a striking two-story Craftsman home plan that embraces mountain rustic elements on a sloped, tree-lined lot. With its distinctive gabled rooflines, exposed timber trusses, and harmonious blend of stone and siding, this four-bedroom home integrates perfectly with its natural surroundings.

A generous covered porch leads to double front doors opening into a light-filled two-story foyer. The open floor plan features soaring vaulted ceilings, rich wood finishes, and rustic stone accents. A practical drop zone near the entry provides organization for everyday items.

The lower level hosts a versatile guest suite that doubles as a family entertainment space, complete with beverage bar and built-in storage. Sliding glass doors connect to a covered patio, bridging indoor and outdoor living. A three-car garage offers ample storage for vehicles and recreational equipment.

Upstairs, the kitchen forms the home’s hub with its large central island, modern appliances, and eating bar for casual gatherings. A butler’s pantry provides additional prep space. The adjacent dining area accommodates large family meals and opens to another covered patio.

The vaulted living room serves as the home’s centerpiece, featuring a grand fireplace and oversized windows that frame the natural landscape. A vaulted balcony extends the living area outdoors, offering a peaceful retreat with mountain views.

The luxurious owners’ suite includes a vaulted ceiling, spa-like bathroom with soaking tub and dual vanities, and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom, while a dedicated office supports remote work needs.

The Packwood masterfully balances mountain charm with modern luxury, creating an ideal retreat for those seeking both comfort and adventure in a natural setting.

The Packwood 31-408 created by Associated Designs, Inc.’s talented team of residential home designers. To learn more about this design visit www.AssociatedDesigns.com.
