There’s something inviting about a modern farmhouse, and this one takes it to the next level.
With its crisp white siding, black windows, and a wide porch stretching across the front, it blends classic country style with plenty of new American character.
When you enter, you’ll find an open layout that makes everyday life easy and helps everyone stay connected, while still providing private nooks and flexible rooms for work, play, and relaxation.
I’ll walk you through this home so you can picture every corner across both levels.

The Floor Plans:
Front Porch
Before you even open the door, the full-width front porch sets the scene. Natural wood columns, a deep overhang, and board-and-batten siding create a real sense of welcome.
I can easily imagine lingering here with a cup of coffee in the morning or waving to neighbors as they walk by.
There’s plenty of space for rocking chairs, a swing, or a small table for get-togethers.
Foyer
As you step through the front door, you arrive in a bright, spacious foyer. Soaring ceilings and simple trim details draw your eyes upward.
There’s ample space to greet guests without feeling crowded. The foyer works as a central hub, giving you access to the office, a clear view into the great room, and a hallway leading to one of the bedrooms.
I think this setup works well for families who want both a welcoming entrance and a practical flow for daily life.
Office
Right off the foyer, the dedicated office features large windows overlooking the porch. If you work from home or need a quiet spot for homework or reading, this room fits the bill.
With its location at the front of the house, you’re separated from household noise but still close to everything.
This space also works well as a hobby room or even a music room if your needs change.
Great Room
Move further into the home and you’ll find the great room, which is truly the centerpiece here.
Tall windows along the back wall fill the space with natural light. Built-in shelves surround the fireplace for a look that feels both modern and cozy.
The room opens to the kitchen and dining area, making it easy to host gatherings or keep an eye on the kids.
I love that the design provides enough wall space for a large sectional and clear sightlines out to the backyard.
Kitchen
The kitchen sits just to the side of the great room and features a long island that’s perfect for meal prep, homework, or casual snacks.
The refrigerator and range are placed along their own wall, which keeps things organized and tidy.
Wide counters on either side provide room for multiple cooks, and the setup keeps you connected to the dining area and great room.
Personally, I prefer this kind of kitchen—it’s ideal for families who enjoy cooking together or entertaining without feeling isolated.
Dining
The dining area flows directly from the kitchen and faces the covered patio. Large windows and a glass door bring in plenty of light and offer easy access to the outdoors.
With its location near the kitchen and great room, you can handle everything from quick weeknight dinners to big holiday gatherings here.
Built-in cabinetry nearby gives you a spot for serving dishes or a coffee bar, depending on your needs.
Butler’s Pantry
One standout feature is the butler’s pantry, located between the kitchen and the owner’s suite hallway.
This walk-through space offers extra storage for small appliances, serving pieces, or even a second prep sink if you want to keep the main counters clear.
It connects directly to both the kitchen and dining area, so you can prep meals out of sight or stash groceries quickly.
Covered Patio
Step outside the rear door and you’ll find a covered patio that expands your living space.
Timber beams and a stone fireplace give this outdoor area a rustic yet polished look.
I think you’ll love relaxing here on cool evenings, hosting barbecues, or simply enjoying backyard views framed by those black-trimmed windows.
The cathedral ceiling overhead adds an airy feel, while the deep roof keeps you comfortable in sun or rain.
Mud Room
Back inside, the mud room links the main living areas to the garage. This smartly designed space features lockers for coats and bags, helping you keep clutter at bay.
There’s a bench to sit and remove shoes, plus hooks for everyday essentials. Its location close to the powder room, laundry, and kitchen makes busy mornings much easier.
Powder Room (Half Bath)
Just off the mud room sits a handy half bath. It’s a great addition for guests or for quick cleanups after coming in from outside.
The space is set apart enough for privacy but close to main areas, so you don’t have to walk far when you need it.
Laundry Room
The laundry room can be accessed from both the mud room and the main hall.
There’s space for full-sized appliances, plus a folding counter and overhead cabinets. A window brightens the room, keeping it from feeling too utilitarian.
Its location means you’ll never be far from the action while doing laundry.
One-Car and Two-Car Garages
From the mud room, you can enter either the single-car garage or the two-car garage.
The single-car garage is perfect for a workshop, storing lawn gear, or parking a classic car.
The two-car garage is oversized, with extra space for larger vehicles or additional shelving. If you have bikes, tools, or outdoor equipment, there’s plenty of room to keep everything organized.
Mechanical Room
Just behind the garages, the mechanical room holds the HVAC and water systems. It’s out of sight but easy to reach for maintenance.
By being placed away from main living spaces, it helps keep noise to a minimum.
Bedroom Two
Returning to the front of the house, bedroom two sits off the main hallway. This room gets lots of natural light from the front windows and is close to the hall bathroom.
It’s a quiet, comfortable spot that works well for young kids or guests, while still feeling connected to the rest of the home.
Bedroom Three
Bedroom three is just beyond bedroom two and shares a wall with the hall bath.
A window looks out onto the side yard, making it a bit more private. I think this setup is perfect for siblings who want their own space but still be nearby, or for a guest who appreciates a little extra privacy.
Hall Bath
Serving bedrooms two and three, the hall bath includes a sink, tub, and toilet. The layout is compact and practical, so you won’t have any morning traffic jams.
I like that it’s placed in the center of the hall, making it just as convenient for guests as for family members.
Master Suite Hall
Heading down a private hallway past the butler’s pantry, you’ll find the entrance to the owner’s suite. This distance from the main living areas means you have a true retreat that feels separated from daily activity.
Master Bedroom
The master bedroom is generously sized and features a sloped ceiling for extra drama and openness.
Large windows frame backyard views and allow natural light to fill the room. There’s enough space for a king bed, seating area, and extra furniture, so you can really personalize this retreat.
If you value a peaceful, private getaway at the end of the day, you’ll appreciate this space.
Master Bath
Inside the master bath, you’ll find a soaking tub, glass-walled shower, and dual vanities. A window near the tub brings in natural light while maintaining privacy, and the tilework creates a fresh, timeless feel.
Storage is placed right where you need it, making everything easy to find.
Walk-In Closet
The walk-in closet connects directly to the master bath, which makes mornings a little smoother.
There’s plenty of hanging space, shelving, and spots for shoes or accessories. If you like having an organized wardrobe, you’ll find this closet has you covered.
Upstairs Stairs
Before going upstairs, you’ll see the staircase rising from the mud room area. It’s cleverly positioned so it doesn’t interrupt the main flow of the home.
This makes the upper level feel like a true bonus space, not just an afterthought.
Bonus Room
Once upstairs, you’ll discover a large bonus room with sloped ceilings. This open, flexible area could be a media room, playroom, home gym, or even a guest suite.
The angled ceiling gives it character, and a window at the far end brings in enough light to keep it cheerful.
I think this is one of those spaces that can adapt for your family as your needs change.
Bonus Room Bath
A full bath upstairs means you don’t have to go downstairs during a movie or game night. This makes the bonus room perfect for long-term guests or teens who want extra independence.
Bonus Room Closet
Storage can be tricky in upstairs rooms, but this one includes its own closet. It’s deep enough for off-season clothes, board games, or supplies for hobbies.
This home manages to feel both classic and modern, with spaces made for real daily living and plenty of flexibility for whatever comes next.
I can see you spending lazy weekends on the porch, hosting lively gatherings in the great room, or enjoying quiet evenings in the owner’s suite.
With a smart mix of open spaces and private retreats on both levels, you’re ready to make memories here for years to come.
