- Decorative timber accents at the gables
- Wrap-around front porch
- Deep rear covered porch
- Attached 3-car side-entry garage
- Three garage bays

- Welcoming one-story proportions
The front porch is one of the home’s defining architectural features.
Entry & Interior Flow
Step through the front entrance and the home immediately introduces a 10-foot-high foyer, creating a bright and welcoming arrival point.The home office sits near the front entry before the circulation opens toward the great room.Inside, you’ll find:
- 10-foot-high foyer
- Dedicated home office
- Open-concept great room
- Split-bedroom layout
- Main-level owner’s suite
- Three bedrooms
- 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bath
- Large kitchen island
- Eating bar
- Very large walk-in pantry
- Dining area
- Hall study nook
- Laundry room
- Mudroom drop-off zone
- Built-in lockers
- Rear porch access
- 3-car side-entry garage
The layout is carefully divided into three major zones.
Great Room – Vaulted, Warm & Built for Gathering
The great room is the centerpiece of the home and is designed around an impressive central vaulted ceiling.It includes:
- Central vaulted ceiling
- Non-vented gas-log fireplace
- Open connection to kitchen
- Connection to dining area
- Double French doors to rear porch
- Large windows for natural light
- Flexible furniture arrangement
- Strong family gathering functionality
The vaulted ceiling gives the great room a sense of additional volume and makes the central living space feel especially open.
Kitchen – Large Island, Eating Bar & Very Large Pantry
The kitchen is designed around both everyday family use and entertaining.It features:
- Large center island
- Eating bar
- Generous countertop workspace
- Very large walk-in pantry
- Open connection to great room
- Dining area connection
- Strong storage capacity
- Family-friendly cooking workflow
The large kitchen island creates a natural gathering point within the open floor plan.It provides additional preparation space while the eating bar creates a convenient place for casual meals.Breakfast can happen here.Homework can happen here.Guests can sit here while dinner is prepared.And eventually somebody will leave their phone, keys, mail, sunglasses, and one mysterious screwdriver on the island.That is simply how kitchen islands live.
Dining Area – Open & Naturally Connected
The dining area sits directly beside the kitchen and great room, allowing meals to remain part of the home’s central social environment.
- Convenient kitchen access
- Open connection to great room
- Flexible table placement
- Easy serving access
- Natural-light opportunities
- Strong entertaining flow
The dining area works well for both everyday family meals and larger gatherings.Because it is integrated into the open plan, the dining space does not feel isolated from the rest of the household.Someone can prepare dinner in the kitchen.Another person can relax by the fireplace.Children can work nearby.And everyone remains part of the same conversation.When the weather is pleasant, the rear porch provides another option.Meals can move outside.Guests can spread out.And the dining area becomes part of a much larger indoor-outdoor entertaining environment.
Primary Suite – Vaulted Private Retreat
The owner’s suite is positioned away from the secondary bedrooms, creating a strong sense of privacy within the one-story layout.It includes:
- Large private bedroom
- Vaulted ceiling
- Additional window views
- Spa-like ensuite bathroom
- Large owner’s walk-in closet
- Two linen closets
- Direct laundry access from the closet
- Private bedroom zone
The vaulted ceiling gives the primary bedroom an elevated architectural character.Additional windows bring more natural light into the room while also creating pleasant views toward the exterior.The ensuite bathroom provides a spa-like retreat within the home.It includes a five-fixture bathroom arrangement, giving homeowners substantial functionality and comfort.Two linen closets add useful storage.The large owner’s closet is another standout feature.But perhaps the smartest detail is the direct connection between the closet and laundry room.Laundry can move directly between these spaces without crossing through the main living areas.That makes the everyday clothing workflow dramatically simpler.Wash.Dry.Fold.Return.Done.No marathon through the hallway required.
Additional Bedrooms – Balanced & Family Friendly
The home includes two secondary bedrooms, creating a comfortable three-bedroom configuration.These bedrooms include:
- Similar room sizes
- Identical walk-in closets
- Shared Jack-and-Jill bathroom
- Convenient hallway access
- Nearby study nook
- Flexible use for children or guests
The two secondary bedrooms are similarly sized, which makes the arrangement especially practical for children or siblings.Both bedrooms feature identical walk-in closets, providing balanced storage rather than creating one obviously superior bedroom.They share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with two sinks and a private bathing area.This arrangement provides excellent everyday convenience.Two people can use the vanity area at the same time while maintaining privacy around the bathing area.That can make busy mornings significantly smoother.The secondary bedroom wing also includes a hall study nook, providing a dedicated little workspace without requiring an entire additional room.
Jack-and-Jill Bathroom – Smart Shared Space
The secondary bedrooms share a practical Jack-and-Jill bathroom designed around family convenience.It provides:
- Two sinks
- Private bathing area
- Direct bedroom access
- Shared family functionality
- Improved morning circulation
- Efficient use of floor space
The two-sink arrangement is particularly useful.Two family members can brush their teeth, prepare for school, or get ready for the day simultaneously.The private bathing area also allows one person to shower while another uses the vanity.It is a simple layout that can save a surprising number of arguments.Which, in architectural terms, is an excellent return on square footage.
Home Office – Dedicated Work & Study Space
The home office is positioned near the front entry and includes two windows overlooking the front of the home.It can serve as:
- Home office
- Remote-work space
- Study room
- Private reading room
- Small library
- Household administration space
Having a dedicated office means work does not have to take over the dining table or kitchen island.The two front-facing windows bring natural light into the room while maintaining a pleasant connection with the exterior.Its location near the foyer is also useful for professional visitors because someone can enter the office without walking deep into the private bedroom areas.For modern households, a dedicated office has become one of those features that quickly goes from “nice to have” to “how did we ever live without this?”
Hall Study Nook – Small Space, Big Utility
The hallway serving the secondary bedrooms includes a convenient study nook.It provides:
- Dedicated homework space
- Compact study area
- Desk placement opportunity
- Storage potential
- Easy access from secondary bedrooms
The study nook is particularly useful because it provides a workspace without consuming enough square footage to require another full room.Children can use it for homework.A laptop can live there.Books can be stored nearby.And it creates a natural little academic corner within the bedroom wing.This is another example of the plan getting useful work out of relatively small spaces.
Mudroom, Laundry & Garage Entry
The transition from the garage into the house is carefully organized around a drop-off zone with lockers.It provides:
- Garage-to-home access
- Built-in lockers
- Coat storage
- Shoe storage
- Backpack organization
- Direct laundry access
- Guest powder room nearby
- Convenient family circulation
The three-car garage connects into this practical service zone.Instead of entering directly into the main living space, family members arrive in an area designed to absorb the mess of everyday life.Shoes can stay there.Coats can stay there.Backpacks can stay there.Sports equipment can stay there.And muddy children can hopefully stay there long enough to remove their shoes.The laundry room is also connected into this service area, creating an efficient household workflow.
Outdoor Living – Wrap-Around Front Porch & Deep Rear Porch
Outdoor living plays a major role in the home’s Modern Farmhouse personality.The home includes:
- Wrap-around front porch
- Vaulted center section at the front porch
- Deep rear covered porch
- Outdoor seating opportunities
- Outdoor dining potential
- Strong connection from great room to rear porch
- Double French doors opening outdoors
The front porch creates an impressive arrival experience.Its wrap-around configuration provides multiple opportunities for seating, relaxing, decorating, and enjoying the surrounding property.The vaulted center of the porch adds additional visual drama and reinforces the farmhouse character.At the rear, the deep covered porch provides a protected outdoor environment for everyday relaxation.It can accommodate:
- Outdoor dining
- Comfortable lounge seating
- Grilling
- Morning coffee
- Family gatherings
- Watching children play
The double French doors from the great room make the rear porch particularly valuable.The indoor living room can flow directly outdoors.That creates a much stronger relationship between the home’s interior and backyard than a simple single exterior door would provide.
Garage & Storage Features
The attached 3-car side-entry garage provides approximately 948 square feet of unheated space.It offers:
- Three vehicle bays
- Approximately 948 sq ft of garage space
- Side-entry configuration
- Pedestrian door
- Garage windows
- Dedicated storage corner
- Workshop potential
- Space for bicycles and equipment
- Direct access to the home’s drop-off zone
A 948-square-foot garage gives the home substantial supporting space.Three vehicles can be accommodated while leaving room for tools, storage cabinets, bicycles, lawn equipment, sports gear, and workshop activities.The dedicated storage corner is particularly useful because garage space tends to disappear surprisingly quickly once real life begins happening inside it.The side-entry arrangement also helps preserve the home’s front-facing farmhouse appearance.
Foundation & Structural Flexibility
The home offers several foundation configurations, allowing it to adapt to different building sites.Available options include:
- Slab foundation
- Crawlspace foundation
- Basement foundation
- Walkout basement foundation
A slab foundation can provide a straightforward construction approach where site conditions allow.A crawlspace can provide useful access beneath the home for utilities and maintenance.A basement can add significant future storage or living potential.A walkout basement can be especially useful on sloping lots.The standard exterior framing uses 2×4 wood construction, with an optional 2×6 conversion available.The framing option can provide additional wall depth for insulation and allow the design to be adapted to local construction requirements and climate conditions.
