This beautiful 2,166 square foot Modern Farmhouse combines classic farmhouse character with a practical one-story family layout. Designed with 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, a main-level owner’s suite, split-bedroom arrangement, open floor plan, formal dining room, kitchen island, walk-in pantry, mudroom, main-level laundry, front porch, rear porch, outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace, 2-car side-entry garage, and an optional bonus room, the home offers a lot of functionality without becoming excessively large.
The entire 2,166 square feet of heated living space is located on the first floor. The home also provides approximately 739 square feet of unheated space, including a 578-square-foot garage and approximately 161 square feet of storage.
The outdoor spaces add another 625 square feet of porch and patio area, creating plenty of room for outdoor seating, dining, cooking, and relaxing.
The house measures approximately 71 feet 8 inches wide by 61 feet 4 inches deep, with a maximum height of approximately 25 feet 1 inch. A substantial 10:12 main roof pitch gives the exterior a strong farmhouse silhouette.
Inside, the floor plan revolves around an open central living area. The great room, kitchen, and dining spaces create the social heart of the house, while the split-bedroom layout separates the owner’s suite from the three secondary bedrooms.
There is also an optional bonus room, giving homeowners the opportunity to create additional flexible space above the main level.
In other words, this house has a little bit of everything without needing a small airport runway to reach the kitchen.
Exterior & First Impressions
The exterior embraces the familiar Modern Farmhouse aesthetic with a strong roofline, welcoming front porch, and carefully separated garage.
The side-entry garage keeps the front elevation focused on the home’s main entrance rather than allowing garage doors to dominate the facade.
The home features:
- Modern Farmhouse exterior styling
- Covered front porch
- Rear porch
- Outdoor kitchen
- Outdoor fireplace
- Side-entry 2-car garage
- 578 sq ft garage area
- 161 sq ft storage area
- 625 sq ft total porch and patio area
- 10:12 main roof pitch
- 71 ft 8 in overall width
- 61 ft 4 in overall depth
- 25 ft 1 in maximum height
The steep 10:12 roof pitch is one of the architectural features that gives the home its recognizable farmhouse presence.
It creates a tall, traditional roof profile while providing an appropriate structure for the optional bonus room.
Entry & Interior Flow
The home is organized around an efficient one-story circulation pattern.
The main level includes:
- Four bedrooms
- Two full bathrooms
- One half bathroom
- Main-level owner’s suite
- Split-bedroom layout
- Open floor plan
- Formal dining room
- Great room
- Kitchen island
- Walk-in pantry
- Mudroom
- Main-level laundry
- Front porch
- Rear porch
- Outdoor kitchen
- Outdoor fireplace
- 2-car side-entry garage
- Dedicated storage area
- Optional bonus room
The split-bedroom layout is particularly useful for a four-bedroom house.
The owner’s suite occupies a private portion of the home, while the three secondary bedrooms are grouped separately.
The central living areas connect these zones without creating unnecessary corridors.
That arrangement gives the home a good balance between family togetherness and personal privacy.
Great Room – Central Family Gathering Space
The great room forms the central living area of the home.
It provides:
- Open connection with kitchen
- Open relationship with dining areas
- 9-foot first-floor ceiling
- Flexible furniture arrangement
- Large window opportunities
- Connection with rear outdoor living
The 9-foot first-floor ceiling gives the main living level comfortable vertical space.
The open arrangement allows the great room to visually borrow space from the kitchen and dining areas.
That is especially valuable in a four-bedroom home where the available square footage has to serve many different functions.
The great room can comfortably become the family’s everyday gathering place.
It can accommodate a sofa arrangement, television, coffee table, accent chairs, bookshelves, and other furniture without feeling disconnected from the rest of the house.
Kitchen – Island, Walk-In Pantry & Open Living
The kitchen is positioned directly within the home’s main social zone.
It includes:
- Large kitchen island
- Island seating potential
- Walk-in pantry
- Generous countertop workspace
- Cabinet storage
- Open relationship with great room
- Convenient connection with dining areas
The kitchen island provides a natural gathering point.
It can be used for food preparation, casual meals, homework, serving, or simply sitting down with a cup of coffee while dinner is being prepared.
The walk-in pantry provides additional storage for groceries, small appliances, serving dishes, and household supplies.
That helps keep the main kitchen visually clean.
The open arrangement also means the person preparing dinner remains connected to everyone in the great room.
No disappearing behind a wall while the rest of the family carries on.
Formal Dining Room – Dedicated Entertaining Space
Unlike many smaller open-plan homes, this design includes a formal dining room.
It provides:
- Dedicated dining space
- Formal entertaining area
- Direct relationship with the kitchen
- Space for a larger dining table
- Convenient connection to the main living area
The formal dining room gives the home an additional layer of flexibility.
Everyday meals can happen around the kitchen island or in a more casual eating area, while larger family dinners, holidays, and entertaining can use the dedicated dining room.
It is a useful feature for homeowners who enjoy hosting.
Owner’s Suite – Private Main-Level Retreat
The owner’s suite is located on the main floor and separated from the secondary bedrooms.
It provides:
- Main-level owner’s bedroom
- Private ensuite bathroom
- Dedicated closet space
- Split-bedroom privacy
- Convenient access to the main living areas
The owner’s suite benefits from being located away from the other bedrooms.
That makes the room quieter and gives homeowners a private retreat at the end of the day.
The main-level location also makes the home suitable for long-term living because the primary bedroom does not require stair access.
Primary Bathroom – Private Ensuite
The owner’s suite includes a dedicated full bathroom.
It provides:
- Private ensuite access
- Full bathroom
- Dedicated vanity area
- Shower and bathing facilities
- Separation from the secondary bedroom bathroom
The private bathroom keeps the owner’s daily routine separate from the family and guest bathroom.
That becomes particularly useful in a four-bedroom home where several people may be getting ready at the same time.
Secondary Bedrooms – Three Flexible Rooms
The home includes three secondary bedrooms, all located away from the owner’s suite.
These rooms can provide:
- Children’s bedrooms
- Guest bedrooms
- Home office potential
- Study space
- Hobby-room flexibility
- Closet storage
For a family, all three can function as dedicated bedrooms.
For a couple, one or two rooms can be repurposed as offices, guest rooms, exercise spaces, hobby rooms, or creative studios.
This makes the home adaptable as the household changes.
Secondary Bathroom – Family-Friendly Convenience
The three secondary bedrooms share access to the second full bathroom.
This provides:
- Full shared bathroom
- Convenient bedroom access
- Guest accessibility
- Separation from the owner’s ensuite
- Efficient plumbing arrangement
With four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the home maintains a sensible relationship between sleeping areas and bathroom facilities.
The half bath provides an additional option for guests.
Half Bathroom – Convenient Guest Powder Room
The home includes one half bathroom, giving guests a convenient restroom without requiring access to the private bedroom areas.
This is particularly useful when entertaining.
Visitors can use the powder room while the two full bathrooms remain available for household members.
It is a small room with a surprisingly large job description.
Mudroom – Practical Family Entry
The home includes a dedicated mudroom connecting the garage and interior living areas.
This creates an organized transition between the vehicle and the main house.
The mudroom can be used for:
- Shoes
- Coats
- Backpacks
- Sports equipment
- Outdoor gear
- Shopping bags
- Household supplies
The mudroom is especially valuable for a four-bedroom family home.
Without a dedicated transition space, everyday belongings have a habit of migrating toward the kitchen.
The mudroom gives them somewhere else to go.
Laundry – Main-Level Convenience
The laundry room is located on the main floor.
It provides:
- Main-level laundry
- Convenient bedroom access
- Utility organization
- Easy household circulation
- Efficient clothing-care workflow
Since all four bedrooms are on the main level, laundry does not need to travel between floors.
That makes the home convenient for everyday family life and long-term accessibility.
Bonus Room – Flexible Future Space
An optional bonus room is available above the main level.
This provides an opportunity to expand the home’s usable space without changing the main-floor bedroom arrangement.
Depending on how it is finished, the bonus room can become:
- Media room
- Game room
- Home theater
- Home gym
- Teen retreat
- Hobby room
- Private office
- Guest space
- Additional storage
Because the main floor already contains four bedrooms, the bonus room does not need to serve as a bedroom.
That makes it more flexible.
It can become the room where noisy hobbies, movie nights, gaming sessions, exercise equipment, or children’s activities live instead of taking over the main living room.
Front Porch – Farmhouse Curb Appeal
The covered front porch is one of the home’s defining exterior features.
It provides:
- Protected main entrance
- Outdoor seating potential
- Farmhouse curb appeal
- Weather protection
- Outdoor relaxation space
A pair of chairs and a small table can turn the porch into a comfortable morning or evening sitting area.
The porch also gives the front elevation additional depth and makes the entrance feel more substantial.
Rear Porch – Outdoor Living Extension
The rear porch provides another outdoor living zone.
It can accommodate:
- Outdoor seating
- Dining furniture
- Grilling activities
- Family gatherings
- Relaxation space
- Connection with the backyard
The total porch and patio area is approximately 625 square feet, giving the home a substantial amount of outdoor living space relative to its 2,166 square feet of heated interior area.
This makes the exterior almost another living zone rather than simply a decorative porch.
Outdoor Kitchen – Entertaining in the Backyard
One of the home’s standout features is the dedicated outdoor kitchen.
It provides an area for outdoor cooking and entertaining without requiring food preparation to happen entirely inside.
The outdoor kitchen can be configured for:
- Grilling
- Outdoor meal preparation
- Serving
- Entertaining
- Casual family meals
When combined with the rear porch and outdoor fireplace, the backyard becomes a genuine extension of the home’s social space.
Outdoor Fireplace – Backyard Focal Point
The rear outdoor living area also includes an outdoor fireplace.
It can provide:
- Warmth during cool evenings
- Outdoor gathering point
- Architectural focal point
- Relaxation space
- Extended outdoor entertaining season
The fireplace can anchor a seating arrangement and create a more intimate atmosphere in the backyard.
Combined with the outdoor kitchen, it gives the rear porch a strong entertaining identity.
Garage – 578 Sq. Ft. Side-Entry Two-Car Garage
The home includes a 578-square-foot two-car side-entry garage.
It provides:
- Two-car parking
- 578 sq ft garage area
- Side-entry configuration
- Storage potential
- Workshop potential
- Direct relationship with mudroom
- Vehicle and equipment storage
The side-entry configuration keeps the garage from dominating the front elevation.
At approximately 578 square feet, the garage also provides useful room beyond the vehicles.
Depending on the final parking arrangement, homeowners can use part of the space for bicycles, tools, lawn equipment, storage cabinets, or workshop activities.
Storage – 161 Sq. Ft. Dedicated Storage Area
The design includes approximately 161 square feet of unheated storage area in addition to the garage.
That provides valuable space for belongings that do not need to occupy the heated living areas.
Potential uses include:
- Seasonal decorations
- Gardening equipment
- Tools
- Outdoor furniture
- Sports equipment
- Holiday storage
- Household equipment
Having dedicated storage is particularly useful because it prevents the garage from becoming completely overwhelmed by boxes and equipment.
The garage can remain a garage.
A revolutionary concept.
Storage Throughout the Home
In addition to the dedicated storage area, the home provides several practical storage zones.
These include:
- Walk-in kitchen pantry
- Bedroom closets
- Bathroom storage
- Mudroom storage potential
- Garage storage
- Dedicated 161 sq ft storage area
- Optional bonus-room storage
The distribution keeps storage close to where belongings are used.
Food remains near the kitchen.
Clothing stays near bedrooms.
Outdoor equipment can stay near the garage.
Everyday family gear can remain in the mudroom.
Foundation & Structural Options
The design offers several foundation options.
These include:
- Slab foundation
- Crawlspace foundation
- Basement foundation
The basement option is unfinished, allowing homeowners to potentially develop the lower level later depending on their site, budget, and local building requirements.
A slab foundation can provide a straightforward construction approach where site conditions permit.
A crawlspace provides access beneath the home for utilities and maintenance.
A basement provides additional future flexibility but requires more excavation, concrete, waterproofing, drainage, and structural work.
The standard exterior framing is 2×4 wood construction, with an optional 2×6 conversion available.
