The Cottonwood by Golden West: A Manufactured Home Built for Real Life
July 10th, 2025The Cottonwood ING563F is one of Golden West’s most popular manufactured home floor plans—and for good reason. With 1,512 square feet of well-planned living space, this home features a 27′ width that allows for an open-concept great room and a split-bedroom layout that offers both privacy and flow. Built with a robust construction envelope, including 2×6 walls at 16″ OC, LP SmartSide® siding, and a 30-lb roof load supported by architectural shingles, The Cottonwood is engineered for durability in the Northwest climate.
Inside, the home lives large with 9-foot ceilings, two coffered ceiling details, oversized 80″ windows, and upgraded finishes throughout. Homeowners enjoy modern touches like 2-panel interior doors, a ceiling fan with light in the living room, an entertainment center, and crown molding in key living areas. It also features a highly functional utility room with space for a freezer, folding table, laundry sink, and optional cabinetry. Safety and convenience are built in, with a 200A electrical service, smoke detectors in every room, and a pre-installed fire extinguisher. The Ecobee smart thermostat and Energy Star certification ensure year-round comfort and significant savings on utility bills.
A Floor Plan That Flows
This 1,512 square foot home is built on a 27′-wide frame and features a split-bedroom layout that ensures both privacy and togetherness. With three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an open-concept great room, The Cottonwood offers a well-balanced mix of functionality and inviting space. High 9’ ceilings and oversized 80” Low-E windows bring in ample natural light while maintaining energy efficiency. The result? A bright and airy interior that feels much larger than the footprint suggests.
Thoughtful Interior Features
From the moment you walk in, The Cottonwood’s attention to detail is evident. Two coffered ceilings—one in the living room and one in the dining area—add architectural depth, while an entertainment center and ceiling fan come standard in the living area. The kitchen offers real hardwood cabinets, optional upgraded Samsung stainless steel appliances, and a hidden butler’s pantry. There’s also a generous dining room with space for an 8-seat table and options for a sliding glass door to the backyard.
A Utility Room That Works for You
Buyers love the oversized utility room, which can be configured to fit a freezer, laundry sink, folding station, boot bench, or even a full desk area. Options include a cabinet system with clothes rod, additional outlets, and upper storage. Pre-installed Carrier Smart Comfort furnace and optional hybrid heat pump water heater push this space into serious functionality.
Durability Meets Efficiency
Built with 2×6 exterior walls at 16” on center, LP SmartSide® siding, and a 30-lb roof load with architectural shingles, The Cottonwood is engineered to withstand the Pacific Northwest climate. Extended eaves prevent water damage and contribute to long-term durability.
It’s also ENERGY STAR® certified, with insulation ratings of R-33 in the ceiling, R-22 in the floor, and R-11 in the walls. An Ecobee smart thermostat is included, offering efficient climate control and real-time reminders for maintenance.
A True Value Proposition
At a base price of $173,594, The Cottonwood delivers a robust homeownership solution for families, retirees, or even vacation home seekers. With add-ons like freestanding tubs, walk-in closets, and custom cabinetry, buyers can personalize without the typical price spikes seen in site-built homes.
