Verbena Floor Plan – Desert Retreat (Indio, CA)

Verbena Floor Plan – Desert Retreat (Indio, CA)


Approx. 1,732 Sq Ft | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | Den | Covered Patio | 2-Car Garage | Single-Level

The Verbena is the largest plan in the Classic Series, and it feels noticeably more open than the smaller models without stepping into Retreat Series pricing.

This floor plan works well for buyers who want a little more breathing room but still value efficiency and simplicity.

What Makes the Verbena Different

Expanded Main Living Area

The living room and dining area in Verbena feel wider and more comfortable than the smaller Classic plans.

You get:

  • A larger family room footprint

  • A clearly defined dining space

  • A kitchen that anchors the home without closing it off

For buyers who want more openness without increasing maintenance significantly, this plan delivers.

Dedicated Den

Verbena includes a true den positioned near the front of the home.

That space works well as:

  • A home office

  • A hobby room

  • A reading space

  • Or an overflow guest area

This is one of the reasons many buyers choose Verbena over Getaway.

Smart Bedroom Layout

The primary suite sits on one side of the home, while the secondary bedroom is positioned on the opposite side.

That separation provides:

  • Privacy for guests

  • Quiet work-from-home flexibility

  • A layout that feels balanced

For a two-bedroom plan, the distribution is efficient and intentional.

Comfortable Primary Suite

The primary bedroom offers:

  • A well-sized sleeping area

  • Walk-in closet

  • Private bath layout

It feels proportional to the overall size of the home.

Who the Verbena Is Perfect For

  • Buyers upgrading from Getaway or Solitude

  • Couples who want a den but don’t need 2,000+ square feet

  • Seasonal residents who want space without excess

  • Buyers focused on long-term livability at a moderate size

It often becomes the “sweet spot” plan within the Classic Series.

Structural Options to Consider

Depending on release and availability, Verbena may offer:

  • Den door upgrades (French or double-door look)

  • Kitchen configuration adjustments

  • Patio slider upgrades

  • Owner’s bath layout variations

In this plan, den configuration and patio door upgrades tend to make the biggest visual impact.

My Take

Verbena is the most balanced Classic Series option.

It gives you:

  • Open living space

  • A real den

  • Bedroom separation

  • Manageable maintenance

  • Strong value positioning

If Getaway feels efficient and Solitude feels practical, Verbena feels complete within the Classic tier.
