This transitional home draws you in right from the start, thanks to its modern farmhouse exterior.

Steep gables, rustic stone, and black-framed windows set a welcoming tone for the bright, inviting spaces inside.

With two full levels and 5,070 square feet, there’s plenty of space for family, guests, hobbies, and moments of quiet.

I’ll guide you through each area so you can really imagine how life would feel here.

The Floor Plans:

Front Porch

First impressions count, and this one gets it right. The wide front porch features stone details and board-and-batten siding, making it perfect for relaxing evenings or greeting friends.

There’s room for a swing or a pair of rockers, and the deep overhang keeps you shaded from the afternoon sun.

In my experience, a porch like this makes the home feel inviting and timeless.

Entry Hall

After entering through the front door, you’re welcomed by a generous entry hall that introduces the home’s airy feel.

High ceilings catch your eye, and the hall is long enough for art or a statement console.

The space feels like a true foyer, but it’s not too formal. The entry connects directly to the family room, letting natural light pour in thanks to a clear view to the back porch.

Family Room

Beyond the entry, the family room features volume ceilings that make the space feel open without being overwhelming.

There’s a centrally placed fireplace for cozy evenings, and the room easily fits large gatherings.

I love how this room connects to the kitchen, dining, and outdoor spaces. It’s a spot where people naturally gather and linger.

Kitchen

The kitchen stands out next to the family room. A large island is perfect for meal prep or casual breakfasts.

Generous counter space and an efficient layout make it easy for several people to cook together.

You can watch over the dining area and family room, so you’re always part of the action.

I always notice how the large windows flood the kitchen with daylight, making it one of the most inviting rooms in the home.

Dining

The dining room sits just off the kitchen, creating a semi-private nook for meals while still feeling open.

There’s ample room for a full-sized table, so holiday dinners are a breeze. I think having the dining area close to the kitchen is convenient for serving, and I appreciate that it feels like a distinct space rather than just a corner of an open floor plan.

Back Porch (Main Level)

Step outside to a back porch that stretches almost the full width of the house.

This area truly extends your living space. Picture summer barbecues, lazy weekend mornings, or catching up with friends.

The covered porch means you can enjoy the outdoors, even if it’s raining.

Primary Suite

The primary suite is positioned in its own wing for extra privacy. Walk in and you’ll notice the vaulted ceilings that add drama, with windows overlooking the backyard.

There’s space for a sitting area, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.

I like how this suite feels private but not cut off from the main living areas.

Closet (Primary Suite)

Connected to the primary bedroom, the walk-in closet feels like a room of its own.

Built-in shelving, ample hanging space, and a window for natural light make organization simple. If you’re sharing, there’s plenty of storage for both of you.

Guest Room

Near the kitchen, there’s a guest room with its own full bath. It’s just right for overnight visitors, in-laws, or a live-in nanny.

The room fits a queen bed and a small desk or chair, so any guest will feel comfortable and welcome.

Pantry

The kitchen leads to a spacious pantry. You can stock up on groceries and store small appliances or extra dishes with ease.

I think a pantry like this is a must for keeping the kitchen clean and organized.

Mud Room

Between the garage and main living areas, the mud room is built for everyday practicality.

Hooks and cubbies keep shoes, backpacks, and coats from cluttering up the house. As someone with kids and pets, I can say this kind of setup is a game changer for staying organized.

Utility

The utility room sits steps from the mud room, making laundry less of a hassle.

There’s room for a washer, dryer, and utility sink. You also have space for cleaning supplies and a counter for folding.

Since it’s near the garage, muddy clothes can go straight to the wash.

Storage (Main Level)

A dedicated storage room next door gives you a place for holiday decorations, extra pantry items, or cleaning gear. It’s a practical space that really helps keep the main areas clutter-free.

Garage

The three-car garage features barn-style doors as a nod to the farmhouse vibe. It’s oversized, with space for bikes, tools, or a workbench alongside your vehicles.

There is direct access to the mud room, so unloading groceries or sports gear is convenient.

Stair Tower

At the heart of the home, the stair tower features wide treads and generous landings.

The open feel makes moving between floors easy, and natural light from above keeps the space bright.

Its central location means you’re never far from any part of the house.

Game Room (Lower Level)

Downstairs, the game room becomes the main hub. There’s so much space for a pool table, seating, or even a home bar.

It’s a relaxed spot, great for teens, parties, or hobbies. I like that this room can change as your needs change—think playroom, media zone, or creative studio.

Media Room

Next to the game room, the media area is designed for movie nights or big games.

The room is large enough for tiered seating, so everyone has a good view. I can just imagine family marathons or Super Bowl parties happening here.

Bedroom 5

Bedroom 5 sits just off the game room and could serve as a guest suite or a teen’s room.

It’s generously sized with easy access to a full bathroom. If you need a private study or home gym, this room adapts easily.

Further along the hall, bedroom 3 is set up for comfort and privacy. It has a full closet and a window for natural light.

Bedroom 4

Bedroom 4 is similar in size and flexibility. Use it as a kids’ room, guest space, or hobby spot.

The large closet and easy bath access make life practical. You could even turn this into a quiet home office if needed.

Bathrooms (Lower Level)

The lower level has two full bathrooms—one between bedrooms 3 and 4, and another near bedroom 5.

This setup means everyone has access, and busy mornings run more smoothly. Each bathroom is sized for comfort and includes space for storage.

Linen Closet

Across from the lower bedrooms, there’s a large linen closet for towels, sheets, and all those extras you want close by but out of sight. I always appreciate having linen storage near the bedrooms.

Mech / Storage / Flexible Space

On the lower level, behind the main living spaces, you’ll find an area for mechanical systems and extra storage.

There’s a lot of flexibility—if you decide to finish it later, it could become a workshop, gym, or more storage.

The unfinished area nearby means you can adapt as your family grows or your hobbies change.

Back Porch (Lower Level)

The lower level features its own covered back porch, mirroring the main floor’s outdoor living.

This space is ideal for quieter gatherings or letting kids play outside in the shade.

The porch connects directly to the game room, so indoor and outdoor fun blend together.

Walking through this home, I notice how intentional and comfortable the layout feels. The rooms don’t crowd each other, and every area serves a purpose.

Picture movie nights in the media room or summer evenings out on the porch. The design makes daily life easier, and each room is flexible enough for your family’s changing needs.

I think you’ll find this home lets you truly make it your own.
