Exterior View

Stepping up to this modern farmhouse, you’re immediately greeted by the kind of curb appeal that stands out: a sprawling front porch, double glass doors, and crisp black trim.

These details hint at both style and substance inside. This home doesn’t just sprawl out; it unfolds with a layout thoughtfully divided between private retreats, open gathering areas, and all the practical spaces that make daily life easier.

With two levels to explore and over 3,600 square feet, you’ll find spaces for every mood, from lively get-togethers to quiet moments of retreat.

The Floor Plans:

Front Porch

It’s hard not to pause for a second on this deep, shaded porch. With plenty of room for rocking chairs or a porch swing, you can imagine lazy afternoons out here, sheltered under the low pitch of the roof.

The porch sets a welcoming tone, and the double doors make it feel like the home is inviting you in before you’ve even crossed the threshold.

Foyer

Inside, you’re met by a wide foyer that is buffered from the rest of the house.

This gives you a moment to take it all in. Off to one side is the home office, and ahead, the main living spaces reveal themselves.

High ceilings above and wide sightlines create a proper introduction that makes you feel like you’ve truly arrived.

Office

Just to your left, you’ll find a private office. It’s tucked far enough from the main action that it works well for focused work or study.

With 12-foot ceilings and a front-facing window, it’s a bright, airy space. I think this setup is perfect if you work from home or just need a spot to manage household tasks.

Family Room

The family room sits at the center of everything and offers an undeniable sense of space.

Vaulted ceilings soar to 17 feet, and windows along the back wall capture views of the porch and backyard.

The fireplace anchors the room. You also have open sight lines straight into the kitchen and dining areas.

This openness makes gatherings easy, but there’s enough separation from the bedrooms to keep things peaceful in the private wings.

Dining

Off to one side of the foyer, you’ll discover the dining room. It’s open to the kitchen and family room but defined enough that you can dress it up for formal meals or keep things relaxed.

The flow toward the kitchen means you don’t have to carry plates far, and there’s a built-in serving area nearby that makes entertaining easy.

Kitchen

When you reach the kitchen, you can tell this space is set up for action.

The oversized island stretches out and offers seating for a crowd, while the layout keeps everything within reach.

There’s a nook with booth seating tucked along the back wall, perfect for casual meals or coffee mornings.

Plenty of cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and clear views of the family room mean you can cook without feeling shut off.

I noticed the windows are positioned to bring in morning light, which will make even a quick breakfast feel special.

Pantry

Next to the kitchen, the walk-in pantry offers more than just storage. With plenty of shelving and a long footprint, you’ll have room for bulk groceries, small appliances, or your collection of cookbooks.

I think this size of pantry is a real perk, especially if you love to entertain or stock up on staples.

Serving

Just beyond the pantry, you’ll find a dedicated serving area. This space acts like a butler’s pantry and connects the kitchen to the dining room, giving you extra prep space that’s hidden from guests.

It’s handy for staging hors d’oeuvres or lining up desserts during a party.

Storage / Mechanical

Continuing past the serving area, you’ll come to a storage and mechanical room. Every house needs a spot for seasonal decor, tools, or even a backup fridge.

This one is conveniently accessed near the main living spaces, which keeps things practical.

Mud Hall

Coming in from the garage, you’ll arrive in a mud hall. There’s a long bench with hooks for coats and backpacks, and a broom closet opposite.

This drop zone catches all the day-to-day clutter before it spills into the rest of the house.

I think families with kids or pets will appreciate this buffer, especially on rainy or muddy days.

Utility

Located right off the mud hall, the utility room stretches out and includes both laundry and workspace.

With dedicated spots for washers and dryers, a built-in counter, and extra cabinets, laundry day just got a whole lot easier.

There’s also a utility sink, helpful for pre-treating stains or washing up after yard work.

The connection to both the mud hall and the primary suite closet is a great design choice.

You don’t have to carry laundry baskets all over the house.

3 Car Garage

The garage is massive, with space for three vehicles plus storage along the side. High ceilings mean you could add shelving or set up a workshop area.

Direct access into the mud hall keeps traffic flowing. Outside, a metal awning protects you from the rain as you come and go.

Primary Suite

At the far end of the home, the primary suite is set apart for privacy.

When you enter the bedroom, you’ll notice how generous the space feels, with tall ceilings and a wall of windows overlooking the backyard.

There’s plenty of room for a sitting area, so you can unwind at the end of the day without leaving your retreat.

The ensuite bath features double vanities, a soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower. Everything is arranged so you never feel cramped.

What stands out to me is the sheer size of the walk-in closet. There’s more than enough storage for two, plus built-ins for shoes and accessories.

A private linen closet in the bath keeps towels and bedding close at hand.

Linen (Primary Suite)

Right in the primary bath, there’s a dedicated linen closet. It keeps everything you need within reach, so you don’t have to make trips across the house for towels or sheets.

Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4

The secondary bedroom wing is positioned on the opposite side of the house, giving everyone a bit of breathing room.

Each bedroom here is spacious, with large windows and good closet space. Bedroom 2 sits up front and could work well for guests or a teen who wants a little privacy.

Bedrooms 3 and 4 are tucked at the back, sharing a hallway with two full baths.

I think this setup makes mornings smoother, since everyone has easy access to the bathrooms and a shared linen closet right outside.

Baths (Bedrooms 2, 3, 4)

Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4 share two full bathrooms. Each bath has its own vanity and tub-shower combo.

The layout means kids or guests don’t have to walk far, and the finishes are simple but durable.

Linen (Secondary Wing)

A linen closet in this bedroom hallway means you’re never far from fresh towels or extra blankets. There’s no need to go to the other side of the house.

Back Porch

Step out to the back porch, and you’ll instantly feel drawn outdoors. This porch is deep enough for both dining and lounging, with plenty of shade for hot afternoons.

The black-framed glass door connects the porch directly to the family room, so moving between inside and outside is seamless.

It’s easy to picture summer nights here, grilling or stargazing with friends.

Booth / Nook

Tucked behind the kitchen, you’ll find a cozy booth and nook area. It’s a perfect spot for breakfast with the family or a quiet evening with a book.

The windows here look out to the backyard, so you’re never far from the action outside.

Staircase to Upper Level

Heading up the stairs near the mud hall, you reach a flexible space that is set apart from the rest of the home. The stair location makes it easy to slip upstairs quietly, which I think is great for noisy games or hobbies.

Bonus Room (Upper Level)

The bonus room upstairs is wide open and ready for anything. At over 33 feet in length with sloped ceilings, it could handle a home theater, playroom, or even a gym.

You could set up a game table, add a row of bean bags, or use part of the space for storage.

The flexibility here is a real asset, especially for families who need space that can adapt as their needs change.

Optional Basement

The plans mention an optional basement, which gives you even more room to expand. You could use it for a workshop, extra storage, or a guest suite if you need one.

Walking through this home, I can see how the designers balanced openness with privacy. The spaces connect intuitively, making everyday living feel easy and organized.

You’ll find this layout keeps everything within easy reach while still feeling spacious and welcoming.

The possibilities here really are only limited by your imagination.
