There’s something genuinely refreshing about arriving at a modern barndominium like this one. From the curb, the clean lines and crisp white siding give you that farmhouse vibe, while sleek windows and a touch of stone announce this is no ordinary country house.
The broad front porch practically calls you to slow down, kick off your shoes, and enjoy the view.
It offers exactly the kind of welcome that hints at what’s inside. Here, you’ll find a thoughtful layout that blends everyday usability with plenty of little luxuries, all under one roof.
I’m excited to walk you through this level, room by room, and show how every inch is put to good use.

The Floor Plans:
Front Porch
Before you even open the door, you notice the wide covered porch. This isn’t just for looks; it’s a real outdoor living space.
You can picture a couple of rocking chairs here, maybe even a swing, with enough room for potted plants or a line of muddy boots after a rainy day.
The overhang gives shelter from sun and rain, making it easy to linger outside, whether you’re greeting guests or just unwinding at the end of the day.
Entryway
As soon as you come inside, a hallway welcomes you with both function and flow.
There’s no grand foyer, and I think that works in its favor. It feels natural and efficient, letting you move smoothly toward the main living areas.
The sightlines pull your eyes straight to the great room, hinting at all the light and space just ahead.
Great Room
Moving forward, you’re greeted by an expansive great room. Thanks to the tall, sloped ceiling and large windows, the space feels airy and absolutely flooded with light.
The floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace is a true focal point here. I love how it draws your attention, especially paired with cozy textures and warm wood accents.
You might curl up on the sectional with a book or spread out for movie night—there’s plenty of room for family and friends.
The openness also lets you see straight into the dining area and catch a glimpse of the kitchen, creating a sense of connection throughout the main living spaces.
Dining Room
Connected directly to the great room, the dining room stretches toward the back of the house.
A wall of sliding glass doors frames the backyard view and lets in even more natural light.
You can imagine relaxed dinners here, or quiet mornings with coffee while you watch the sun rise.
The space easily fits a large table, so hosting friends or family holidays won’t feel cramped.
Since it’s close to both the kitchen and living area, conversation can flow easily even with a crowd.
Kitchen
When you enter the kitchen, you’ll see a blend of style and practicality. The U-shaped layout offers plenty of counter space, and the large central island becomes the main gathering spot.
I like how the island faces both the living and dining rooms, so you can prep dinner or pour drinks without missing a thing.
Rich cabinetry, dramatic marble-look counters, and brass hardware create a space that feels modern and welcoming.
There’s enough room here for several people to work at once, which is great if your family likes to cook together or entertain.
Those big windows and the nearby sliding doors keep everything bright and cheerful.
Pantry
Just off the kitchen, there’s a walk-in pantry measuring 11 by 6 feet. It’s generous enough for everything from dry goods to bulk paper towels.
Shelving lines the walls, making it easy to organize snacks, baking supplies, and even those small appliances you want out of sight.
I think having the pantry so close to the kitchen makes meal prep and grocery unloading much simpler.
Mud Room
Closer to the garage, you’ll find a mud room designed for daily convenience. Bench lockers run along the wall, perfect for storing shoes, backpacks, and jackets so they’re not scattered through the house.
There’s also a separate closet for coats or sports gear, which keeps things tidy. This spot is key after a day outside, especially in rainy or snowy weather.
For me, it’s the kind of drop zone that can really make your morning routine smoother.
Laundry Room
Just beyond the mud room, the laundry room sits smartly close to the garage and bedrooms.
There’s space for your washer and dryer, plus enough room to sort or fold clothes without feeling cramped.
I appreciate how this keeps laundry out of sight but still easily accessible.
Garage
The garage truly stands out. At 27 by 36 feet, it’s an oversized two-car space with more than enough room for vehicles, bikes, lawn equipment, and probably even a workbench or hobby gear.
The 12-foot ceiling height means you could add overhead storage or even a lift. It connects directly to the mud room for easy unloading after shopping or sports practice.
Mechanical Room
Just off the mud room and near the kitchen, the mechanical room is placed for easy maintenance access while keeping noise and clutter away from the main living areas. It’s compact, but I like that it keeps all the utilities contained and out of sight.
Bedroom 4
Toward the front of the house, you’ll find Bedroom 4. At 12 by 11 feet, it works well as a kid’s room, guest room, or even a home office.
The window lets in plenty of light, and the nearby bathroom means guests have easy access without walking through the entire house.
Bedroom 5
Bedroom 5 is right next door and matches the size and feel of Bedroom 4.
It’s flexible—so if you have a big family or want a dedicated hobby space, you have options.
Both bedrooms share a hall bath just outside their doors, making busy mornings or overnight visits a breeze.
Hall Bathroom
Between Bedrooms 4 and 5, there’s a full bathroom with dual sinks. I think this layout makes sharing easy.
No one has to wait for their turn at the mirror. The design keeps things streamlined, and the linen closet just outside is handy for towels and toiletries.
Linen Closet
Right in the bedroom hallway, the linen closet is a small but mighty detail. You won’t need to hunt all over the house for extra sheets or bath towels since this central spot keeps supplies close by.
Master Suite
Past the laundry room, you’ll reach the master suite. This space feels like a true retreat.
The vaulted ceiling and oversized windows make it bright and airy, and double doors open to the back patio for private outdoor access.
The walk-in closet is more than generous, with space to keep everything organized. I especially like how this suite is set apart from the other bedrooms, giving you real privacy.
Master Bathroom
The ensuite bath gives you that spa-like experience without being over-the-top. Dual vanities give each person their own space, separated by tall cabinetry for storage.
The walk-in shower features calming green tile and bronze fixtures, and there’s a linen cabinet for extra towels.
The flow from bedroom to bath to closet is smooth, so your morning routine stays relaxed and uncluttered.
Linen Closet (Master Suite)
Right off the master bath, a dedicated linen closet keeps bath essentials close by. I think it’s a fantastic addition for everyday convenience.
Bedroom 2
On the opposite wing of the house, Bedroom 2 sits at the front corner. With a 12 by 12 footprint, it easily fits a queen bed and a desk or seating area.
The front-facing window brings in lots of natural light, making the room feel welcoming and bright.
Bedroom 3
Bedroom 3 is a mirror image of Bedroom 2, just across the hall. It’s got the same dimensions, so there’s flexibility for siblings to each have their own space or to use one as a guest suite or study.
Jack-and-Jill Bath
Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. I think this setup is perfect for families.
The shared bath is efficient but still private, with separate sinks at either end. This design keeps mornings peaceful, and the central tub/shower is placed so it doesn’t feel cramped.
Pantry
As you return toward the living area, you’ll spot the walk-in pantry next to the kitchen.
It’s truly practical, holding bulk groceries, small appliances, or even a stash of after-school snacks.
Honestly, I think it’s one of those spaces you’ll wonder how you managed without.
Covered Patio (Back)
Through the dining room’s sliding doors, you’ll step onto the rear covered patio. This long, shaded area stretches nearly the width of the house.
It’s ideal for backyard BBQs, outdoor dining, or just relaxing with friends and family. There’s room for a full dining set, a few lounge chairs, and maybe even a hammock if you’re in the mood.
The patio ties the indoors and outdoors together, creating a seamless extension of your living space.
Covered Patio (Side)
Don’t miss the side covered patio, accessible from both the master suite and the garage entry hall.
This smaller outdoor area feels like a private nook, perfect for a quiet morning coffee.
You could set up a bistro table or some container gardens and make it your own little retreat.
Hallways and Circulation
Throughout the home, wide hallways and smart door placements keep things open and easy to move through. Carrying a laundry basket, pushing a stroller, or simply walking with your morning tea feels comfortable, thanks to the generous circulation space.
As I walk through this home, I notice that every detail was considered—from the big, light-filled living spaces to the handy storage nooks and flexible bedrooms. It all comes together to create a space that feels ready for whatever your days bring, with plenty of room to grow, relax, and make memories.
