Ellen
Explore the adaptability of The Ellen, a personalized space named after astronaut Ellen Ochoa. This home invites customization, featuring shared living without compromising personal space. This plan caters to the practical needs of families seeking a blend of togetherness and individual retreats, making it an ideal choice for multi-generational living as an investment-sharing savings plan.
The Ellen features dual living centers, providing two distinct living spaces within the same home. On the main level, there's an optional private mini apartment – perfect for those who prefer one-level living. On the second level, an even larger owner’s suite offers autonomy within the shared household. Additional rooms upstairs are suitable for a variety of purposes, creating a balanced layout for both communal and private moments.
Whether you choose to build with or without a basement, The Ellen adapts to your preferences. However, please note that due to its larger footprint, this plan is currently only available for construction on larger homesites (On Your Land).
