2023

The Columbia River 2023 is one of the most practical manufactured homes on display at The Home Boys Pasco, and it stands out for one very clear reason: the utility room.

A lot of buyers focus first on the kitchen, living room, or primary bathroom. Those areas matter, of course. But for families, rural buyers, farmers, pet owners, and anyone who actually lives hard in a home every day, the utility room can make a huge difference. It is the space where muddy boots, laundry, coats, cleaning supplies, backpacks, sports gear, pet items, and everyday clutter either have a place to go — or end up scattered through the rest of the home.

The Columbia River 2023 solves that problem with one of the best utility room layouts on the lot. It also gives buyers an open-concept floor plan, 9-foot flat ceilings, a large kitchen island, Energy Star construction, a garage-ready end entry, an upgraded primary bathroom, and a strong level of customization for its price range.

For buyers looking for a manufactured home that feels open, practical, and easy to live in, the Columbia River 2023 is a very strong option to walk through at The Home Boys Pasco.

A Practical Home With a Standout Utility Room

The biggest feature in the Columbia River 2023 is the utility room. This is not just a small laundry closet or a pass-through space. It is a real working utility room designed for everyday life.

The display home includes an upgraded work center, a sports locker area, cabinets above the washer and dryer, and a smart connection to the rest of the home. This gives buyers storage for laundry supplies, coats, shoes, bags, outdoor gear, cleaning items, and the things that often do not have a good place in a standard floor plan.

For rural buyers, farmers, families with kids, or anyone who comes in from the garage or outside with boots, jackets, tools, or pets, this utility room can help keep the rest of the home cleaner and more organized.

Garage-Ready Design

The Columbia River 2023 is designed to work well with a future garage. The utility room is located at the garageable end of the home, with an exterior nine-light door for entry.

This layout makes a lot of sense for buyers placing the home on land, especially rural property or farm property. You can come in through the garage or side entry, step directly into the utility room, and keep dirt and outdoor traffic away from the living room and kitchen.

The home also includes a GFI outlet near the exterior door and a standard hose bib. These small exterior features matter because they make the home more practical once it is placed on-site.

Exterior Design and Curb Appeal

The Columbia River 2023 has a clean exterior look with upgraded features on the display model. The front of the home includes lap siding, a recessed entry, brown decking, two can lights above the entry, and shake siding in the dormer.

The large front windows are standard on this home, giving the exterior a strong residential look and helping bring natural light into the living space. The lap siding and recessed entry shown on the display model are upgrades, but they help give the home more curb appeal.

The home also has large eaves, which help protect the siding, windows, and exterior walls from rain, snow, and weather exposure. For buyers in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, or Montana, those eaves are a practical exterior detail.

There are also multiple exterior color options available, giving buyers room to personalize the home’s appearance.

Energy Star Construction

The Columbia River 2023 is built as an Energy Star home. That means it comes with upgraded insulation and energy-efficient construction features designed to improve comfort and help control utility costs.

Energy efficiency is an important part of affordability. A low home price matters, but long-term heating and cooling costs also matter. This home is designed to help buyers live comfortably while keeping energy use in mind.

Like many modern manufactured homes, the Columbia River 2023 also includes whole-house ventilation. Because these homes are well insulated and built tightly for efficiency, the ventilation system helps circulate air without requiring homeowners to open windows and lose conditioned air.

Open Floor Plan

Inside, the Columbia River 2023 has an open-concept layout with the living room, kitchen, and dining room all connected.

The living room is prepped and wired for a ceiling fan. The display home could have benefited from added can lights in the living room, and buyers have the option to order additional can lighting if they want more brightness in that area.

The open layout gives the home a comfortable everyday flow. The kitchen is close to the dining room and living room, making it easy for family members or guests to stay connected while cooking, eating, or relaxing.

Kitchen Island and Upgraded Backsplash

The kitchen includes a large island, which was added as an option on the display home. The island gives the kitchen extra prep space, storage, and a natural gathering place.

The display home also includes an upgraded ebony hexagon tile backsplash. This gives the kitchen more personality and a more custom look. The beige cabinets create a warm, clean interior style that works well with the backsplash and stainless steel appliances.

The kitchen comes with Samsung stainless steel appliances. The display appliances may be older, but buyers ordering the home will receive Samsung stainless steel appliances.

The microwave above the range is one option, but buyers who prefer a different look can choose a European-style range hood instead.

Hardwood Cabinets and Dining Area

The Columbia River 2023 includes hardwood cabinets that feel sturdy and well built. The kitchen has a clean and practical layout with enough storage for everyday use.

The dining room is located directly off the kitchen and living room. The display home includes a large dining table to help buyers imagine the space with family meals, holidays, and everyday living.

The display model also includes a sliding glass door in place of the standard dining room window. This is a useful upgrade for buyers who want to build a deck, covered porch, patio, or outdoor grilling area off the dining room.

For many buyers, easy access from the dining room to the backyard is a major lifestyle feature.

30-Wide Stretch for More Space

The Columbia River 2023 normally comes as a 27-wide home, but the display model was stretched to a 30-wide. That added width makes a noticeable difference inside the home.

The primary bedroom feels larger, and the primary closet becomes much more impressive. The extra width helps the whole home feel more spacious, especially in the areas buyers use every day.

For buyers who want the same floor plan but need to manage price or site requirements, the home can still be ordered in the standard 27-wide version.

Large Primary Bedroom

The primary bedroom is one of the areas where the 30-wide stretch really shows. The room feels large, comfortable, and easy to furnish.

There is enough space for a larger bed setup, nightstands, dressers, and other furniture. For buyers who want a primary bedroom that does not feel tight, this layout is a major advantage.

The primary suite is also separated from the secondary bedrooms, giving the home a more private split-bedroom layout.

Massive Walk-In Closet

One of the best parts of the primary suite is the large walk-in closet. For buyers who need real clothing storage, this closet is a major selling point.

The extra width of the home helps create a closet that feels much larger than what buyers may expect in a manufactured home. This is especially useful for couples, buyers with large wardrobes, or anyone who wants better everyday organization.

Deluxe Primary Bathroom

The Columbia River 2023 display home includes an upgraded deluxe primary bathroom. This upgrade includes a walk-in shower and a beautiful 60-inch tub.

The tub includes small built-in ledges that can hold items while relaxing, making it feel more like a true soaking space. The bathroom also includes a one-piece fiberglass walk-in shower, which is easier to maintain than multi-piece shower systems.

The display home also includes the matte black hardware package, giving the bathroom and other areas of the home a more modern look.

Secondary Bathroom With Utility Room Access

The second bathroom includes a useful optional feature: a door leading directly into the utility room.

This creates a very practical connection between the utility room, bathroom, and secondary bedroom area. For buyers coming in from outside, working on a farm, or entering through the garage-ready side of the home, this layout allows access to the bathroom without walking through the entire home.

That is one of the details that makes the Columbia River 2023 especially functional for rural buyers and working households.

Secondary Bedrooms With 9-Foot Flat Ceilings

The secondary bedrooms are located on the opposite end of the home from the primary suite. Both rooms include large windows, good closet space, and 9-foot flat ceilings.

The 9-foot flat ceilings are standard in this series, and they make a major difference in how the bedrooms feel. The rooms feel taller, brighter, and more residential.

The third bedroom includes a large window that brings in natural light, and the room includes multiple outlets for flexible furniture placement.

Ecobee Thermostat

The Columbia River 2023 comes with an Ecobee thermostat. This allows homeowners to control heating and cooling from the thermostat itself or through a phone app.

The app can also help homeowners monitor energy usage and better understand how the home is performing. For buyers who care about energy efficiency and monthly costs, this is a useful feature.

Options and Pricing

The Columbia River 2023 display home includes approximately $37,000 in upgrades and options. Some of the major selected features include the 30-wide stretch, recessed entry, lap siding, upgraded backsplash, island, sliding glass door, deluxe primary bathroom, matte black hardware package, work center in the utility room, utility cabinets, and other display model upgrades.

The standard starting price of this home was listed at $172,037 at the time of filming. As shown on the display lot with selected options, the home was priced at $208,939.

Pricing can change, and selected options can affect the final cost. Buyers should always confirm current pricing and availability directly with The Home Boys.

A Customizable Home in a Smart Price Range

One of the important points about the Columbia River 2023 is where it sits in the market. It gives buyers 9-foot flat ceilings, customization, an open layout, a large utility room, and strong features without moving all the way into the higher-priced Majestic line.

The Majestic Series from Marlette is more premium and typically starts at a higher price point. The Columbia River 2023 sits in a very useful middle ground. It is more customizable than some lower-option homes, but more affordable than many premium models.

For buyers who want a home that feels upgraded but still want to manage the total price, this model is worth considering.

Columbia River 2023 vs. Hey Jude

The Columbia River 2023 may be compared with homes like the Hey Jude because both offer 9-foot flat ceilings. However, the Columbia River 2023 brings more customization into the conversation.

The Hey Jude has strong features, but the Columbia River 2023 offers a combination of standard 9-foot flat ceilings, a large utility room, an open floor plan, and upgrade flexibility that makes it feel very different.

For buyers who want a more customizable home in a similar price range, the Columbia River 2023 may be the better fit.

Who Is the Columbia River 2023 Best For?

The Columbia River 2023 is a strong fit for buyers who want a practical, open-concept manufactured home with excellent utility space.

It is especially useful for farmers, rural property owners, families, pet owners, and buyers who need a garage-ready home with a working utility entry. The large utility room, optional bathroom access, work center, sports locker, and garageable layout make this home more practical than many standard floor plans.

It is also a good fit for buyers who want 9-foot ceilings, a large primary closet, a deluxe primary bath, a kitchen island, and enough customization to make the home feel personal.
