This beautifully designed 2,490 square foot Modern Farmhouse combines classic farmhouse character, dramatic open living spaces, flexible bedroom options, and an exceptional indoor-outdoor entertaining setup into one impressive one-story home.
The home includes 3 bedrooms with optional 4-bedroom flexibility, 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bath, a private main-level primary suite, a vaulted family room with fireplace and built-in shelving, a centrally located dining room, a large kitchen with a center island and walk-in pantry, a breakfast-friendly open living arrangement, a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, main-level laundry, a mudroom, covered front and rear porch spaces, and an attached 2-car side-entry garage with an optional 3-car configuration.
An additional 419-square-foot bonus room provides valuable expansion potential, with options for a bathroom and walk-in closet.
This is not simply a house with a porch attached to it.
The porch is practically part of the home’s personality.
The front covered porch stretches across much of the facade.
The rear outdoor areas create multiple places for relaxing, dining, entertaining, and enjoying the landscape.
Inside, the vaulted family room creates a dramatic centerpiece.
The kitchen and dining room remain open to the main gathering area.
The bedrooms are split for privacy.
And the bonus room gives the house room to grow.
It is the kind of home that can handle ordinary Tuesday evenings and still have enough personality for a Saturday gathering with a suspicious number of guests.
Exterior & First Impressions
From the outside, the home delivers a refined Modern Farmhouse appearance with a broad covered front porch, warm wood detailing, large windows, a prominent overhead gable, and a side-entry garage.
It features:
- Modern farmhouse exterior styling
- Wide covered front porch
- Multiple covered rear outdoor spaces
- Outdoor fireplace
- Attached 2-car side-entry garage
- Optional 3-car side-entry garage
- Warm wooden beam accents
- Large windows
- Double front entry doors
- Strong 10:12 roof pitch
- One-story farmhouse proportions
The front covered porch stretches nearly across the width of the home, creating an impressive first impression while providing a generous outdoor sitting area.
Warm wood beams add texture to the porch, while the front overhead gable gives the entrance a strong architectural focal point.
The double front doors reinforce the home’s substantial entry sequence.
The side-entry garage is another smart exterior decision.
Rather than placing garage doors directly on the main facade, the garage is positioned to the side, allowing the porch and farmhouse architecture to remain the visual focus.
The result is a home that feels welcoming, substantial, and distinctly farmhouse without becoming overly decorative.
Entry & Interior Flow
Step through the double front doors and the home immediately creates a sense of volume.
The foyer flows toward the main living areas, where higher ceiling heights and the vaulted family room create a dramatic transition from the entrance into the heart of the home.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Double-door front entry
- Inviting foyer
- Open-concept living arrangement
- Split-bedroom layout
- Main-level primary suite
- Three main-level bedrooms
- Optional fourth bedroom
- Vaulted family room
- Central dining room
- Large kitchen island
- Walk-in pantry
- Jack-and-Jill bathroom
- Main-level laundry
- Mudroom
- Half bathroom
- Bonus room
- Front porch
- Multiple rear porch areas
- 2-car side-entry garage
- Optional 3-car garage
The layout uses a strong split-bedroom arrangement.
The primary suite occupies one side of the home.
The two secondary bedrooms sit together on the opposite side.
Between them are the kitchen, dining room, and family room.
This creates a natural separation between private and social spaces.
The garage connects directly to the mudroom and powder room, creating a useful everyday service zone.
The bonus room is accessible from the garage-side portion of the layout, giving the upper space a practical relationship with the rest of the house.
The result is a floor plan that feels organized rather than complicated.
Family Room – Vaulted Ceiling, Fireplace & Built-Ins
The family room is the architectural centerpiece of the home.
It features a dramatic vaulted ceiling, exposed-style beam detailing, a fireplace, built-in shelving, large windows, and direct access toward the rear outdoor living spaces.
It includes:
- Vaulted ceiling
- Decorative beam detailing
- Fireplace focal point
- Built-in shelving
- Large three-wall window arrangement
- Strong natural-light potential
- Open connection to kitchen and dining
- Direct outdoor access
The vaulted ceiling immediately increases the sense of volume.
Instead of feeling like a standard rectangular living room, the space gains architectural drama without requiring another full story.
The fireplace creates a natural focal point.
Built-in shelving provides useful storage and display space.
Large windows bring the outdoors into the room, while the connection to the rear porch makes indoor-outdoor entertaining feel almost effortless.
This is the room where the family will probably spend most of its time.
Movie nights.
Holiday mornings.
Birthday celebrations.
Lazy Sunday afternoons.
And those evenings when someone says, “Let’s just sit down for five minutes,” and everybody remains there for three hours.
Kitchen – Large Island, Walk-In Pantry & Entertaining Hub
The kitchen is centrally located and opens directly toward the dining room and family room, making it one of the home’s main social hubs.
It features:
- Large center island
- Generous countertop workspace
- Walk-in pantry
- Extensive cabinet storage potential
- Open connection to family room
- Direct relationship with dining room
- Strong cooking workflow
- Entertaining-friendly layout
The large kitchen island provides valuable preparation space while also becoming a natural place for family members and guests to gather.
It can serve as:
- Breakfast counter
- Homework station
- Food preparation area
- Serving station
- Coffee zone
- Casual conversation area
The walk-in pantry adds another layer of practical storage.
Bulk groceries, small appliances, serving pieces, and household supplies can remain tucked away rather than occupying every available cabinet.
The open connection to the family room also means the kitchen remains socially connected.
Nobody has to disappear into another room to prepare dinner.
Dining Room – Central & Entertaining Friendly
A dedicated dining room sits centrally within the home’s open living arrangement, creating an ideal transition between the kitchen and family room.
It offers:
- Dedicated formal dining space
- Direct kitchen access
- Open connection to family room
- Flexible table placement
- Strong entertaining functionality
- Easy connection to outdoor spaces
The dining room provides a slightly more formal destination for meals without isolating it from the rest of the house.
This makes it equally useful for everyday dinners and larger celebrations.
During gatherings, food can move easily from the kitchen to the dining room while guests remain connected to the family room and outdoor areas.
The arrangement is especially useful when entertaining larger groups.
Dinner can start inside.
Dessert can migrate outside.
Someone will eventually end up standing beside the kitchen island.
And somehow everyone will still claim there was not enough seating.
Primary Suite – Coffered Ceiling, Vaulted Bath & Oversized Closet
The primary suite is positioned in a private portion of the home and offers a more luxurious retreat than its practical footprint might suggest.
It includes:
- Large primary bedroom
- Coffered ceiling
- Private ensuite bathroom
- Vaulted bathroom ceiling
- Dual vanities
- Separate soaking tub
- Separate shower
- Private toilet room
- Linen closet
- Oversized walk-in closet
- Multiple windows
The coffered ceiling gives the bedroom additional architectural character and makes the space feel more refined.
The ensuite bathroom takes that feeling further with a vaulted ceiling, dual vanities, separate tub and shower, private toilet room, and dedicated linen storage.
At the rear of the suite, the oversized walk-in closet provides generous room for clothing, accessories, and household storage.
The suite’s position away from the secondary bedrooms is equally important.
It gives the homeowners a quieter private zone while the children or guests occupy the opposite side of the house.
This is a primary suite designed as a genuine retreat rather than simply a larger bedroom.
Additional Bedrooms – Flexible Family Bedroom Wing
The home includes two secondary bedrooms on the main level, with the optional bonus level providing the possibility of a fourth bedroom.
The secondary bedrooms offer:
- Spacious layouts
- Convenient bathroom access
- Natural-light opportunities
- Front or rear porch views
- Flexible family use
- Guest accommodation potential
The two family bedrooms are positioned together on one end of the home.
One bedroom includes ample closet space.
The other includes a walk-in closet, providing additional storage.
Their positioning creates a dedicated secondary-bedroom zone while maintaining separation from the primary suite.
This is particularly useful for families with children.
The bedrooms remain close enough to the central living areas for convenience while still maintaining their own territory.
Jack-and-Jill Bathroom – Designed for Family Life
The secondary bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom designed with several practical details.
It includes:
- Separate vanities
- Shared bathroom access
- Two linen closets
- Private toilet area
- Tub and shower combination
- Convenient bedroom connections
The separate vanities are particularly useful for busy households.
Two people can use the sink areas at the same time without fighting for the same mirror.
The bathroom also includes two linen closets, one inside the bathroom and another in the hallway.
That provides valuable storage for towels, toiletries, and household supplies.
The tub-and-shower combination makes the bathroom flexible for both children and guests.
It is a very practical family bathroom arrangement.
And on a school morning, those separate vanities may suddenly feel like the greatest architectural achievement of the century.
Bonus Room – 419 Sq. Ft. of Flexible Expansion
The optional 419-square-foot bonus room provides valuable additional space above the main level.
It can become:
- A fourth bedroom
- A media room
- A game room
- A home office
- A teenage lounge
- A hobby room
- A guest retreat
- A home gym
The bonus room can also include an optional bathroom and walk-in closet, making it especially suitable for a fourth bedroom or private guest space.
At 419 square feet, the bonus area is large enough to become a serious part of the home’s long-term functionality.
It does not have to be finished immediately.
A family could initially use it as storage or a simple recreation room and finish it later as needs and budget allow.
That kind of flexibility is extremely valuable.
Because households have an irritating habit of changing their minds about how many rooms they need.
Bathrooms – 2.5-Bathroom Main Layout
The main configuration includes 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bath.
It provides:
- Private primary ensuite
- Jack-and-Jill bathroom for secondary bedrooms
- Convenient half bathroom
- Separate vanity areas
- Guest-friendly access
- Additional linen storage
The primary bathroom serves the homeowners privately.
The Jack-and-Jill bathroom supports the two secondary bedrooms.
The half bath is conveniently positioned near the mudroom and garage area, making it useful for guests and everyday household activity.
If the bonus room is finished as an additional bedroom, an optional bathroom can provide greater independence for that upper-level space.
Mudroom & Laundry – Practical Everyday Organization
The home includes a dedicated mudroom positioned directly off the garage.
It provides:
- Garage-to-home transition
- Space for coats and outerwear
- Storage opportunities
- Family organization
- Convenient access to the half bath
- Access toward the bonus room
The main-level laundry keeps everyday clothing care convenient and eliminates the need to carry baskets between floors.
The mudroom creates a useful buffer between vehicles and the main living spaces.
Shoes can stay here.
Coats can stay here.
Sports gear can stay here.
Backpacks can stay here.
And ideally, the mudroom prevents all of those objects from establishing permanent residency in the family room.
Outdoor Living – A Backyard Built for Entertaining
Outdoor living is arguably the home’s biggest lifestyle feature.
The design includes:
- Wide covered front porch
- Vaulted rear porch
- Additional covered outdoor spaces
- Outdoor fireplace
- Multiple seating opportunities
- Outdoor dining potential
- Strong indoor-outdoor connection
- Three-season outdoor entertaining potential
The front porch stretches nearly across the width of the home, creating a substantial outdoor sitting area and an impressive farmhouse entrance.
At the rear, the outdoor living environment becomes even more ambitious.
The vaulted rear porch is flanked by two additional covered outdoor spaces.
One of these areas includes a fireplace, creating a cozy three-season gathering space.
This arrangement provides several possible outdoor zones.
One area can become an outdoor dining room.
Another can function as a lounge.
The fireplace area can become the evening gathering point.
And the central porch can tie everything together.
This is not simply a rear porch.
It is an outdoor entertaining system.
Summer cookouts.
Family celebrations.
Morning coffee.
Evening conversations.
Holiday gatherings.
And quiet evenings listening to the weather do whatever weather intends to do.
Garage & Storage Features
The standard configuration includes an attached 2-car side-entry garage with approximately 702 square feet of unheated space.
An optional 3-car side-entry garage is also available.
It offers:
- Parking for two vehicles
- Optional 3-car expansion
- Approximately 702 sq ft of standard garage space
- Side-entry configuration
- Storage potential
- Workshop possibilities
- Space for tools and equipment
- Convenient access to the mudroom
The 702-square-foot garage provides generous room for two vehicles while leaving useful capacity for storage and equipment.
The optional third bay can be valuable for a larger household, workshop, hobby space, or additional vehicle.
Because the garage is side-entry, the front facade remains focused on the home’s farmhouse architecture.
That keeps the house looking like a home rather than a very attractive garage with a porch attached.
Foundation & Structural Flexibility
The design offers several foundation options, allowing it to adapt to different lots and construction requirements.
Available options include:
- Monolithic slab foundation
- Crawlspace foundation
- Basement foundation
- Walkout basement foundation
A slab can provide straightforward construction where site conditions allow.
A crawlspace offers service access beneath the home.
A basement can provide substantial additional storage or future living space.
A walkout basement can be particularly useful on sloped properties.
The home uses standard 2×4 wood exterior framing, with an optional 2×6 conversion available.
This allows homeowners to adjust the wall construction based on insulation goals, climate, local building requirements, and construction preferences.
