A modern farmhouse like this draws you in with its blend of rustic warmth and crisp contemporary lines.
You’re welcomed by an inviting front porch and a façade that mixes board-and-batten siding with stone, highlighted by black trim and plenty of glass.
Inside, the layout is open and inviting, stretching across two levels shaped for everyday life.
Every space feels intentional, from the family zone to the tucked-away bedrooms and upstairs loft retreat.
Let’s walk through the whole home together, room by room, so you can start picturing life here.

The Floor Plans:
Front Porch
Before you even enter, the front porch stretches across the house, covered and wide enough for rocking chairs or a seasonal bench.
I imagine this as a spot where you’ll linger with a morning coffee, partly shielded by landscaping that adds a sense of privacy from the street.
The symmetry and clean lines outside set the tone for what’s inside.
Family Room
Open the front door and you come right into a dramatic vaulted family room. The ceiling rises high overhead, drawing your gaze up and letting natural light pour in from the tall windows across the front and back walls.
There’s an immediate sense of space. The room itself is generous, perfect for a roomy sectional or a set of reading chairs by the fireplace.
The sightlines stretch all the way to the dining area and kitchen, which makes casual gatherings and everyday living feel easy.
I think this setup works well for anybody who wants everything connected but not crowded.
Dining
You move easily from the family room to the dining area. It isn’t walled off, but it has its own defined footprint.
Here, you could easily fit a table for eight, with glass doors just behind leading out to the back porch.
Hosting friends or just having a weeknight dinner both feel at home in this space.
The flow is open, but each activity still gets its own spot.
Kitchen
The kitchen sits right off the dining area, stretching along the back of the house.
You’ll find an oversized island with seating on one side, perfect for quick breakfasts or a spot for guests to hang out while you cook.
Cabinets line the wall, and with the large grid-style windows above the sinks, the whole space feels bright and airy.
I noticed the pantry is tucked just off to the side, which is handy for keeping the counters uncluttered.
It’s easy to picture prepping a holiday meal here, with room for helpers and all the gadgets you might want.
Pantry
Don’t overlook this pantry. At 5 by 10 feet, it’s more than a closet—it’s a mini room of its own.
Shelving on all sides means you can stock up for weeks, store small appliances, and still keep everything within reach.
If you love organization, this spot will catch your eye.
Utility Room
Just around the corner is the utility room. This space combines laundry with extra storage and even a broom closet, so you can keep all the cleaning essentials out of sight.
The bench and hooks built in along one wall create a convenient drop zone for muddy boots and backpacks, which helps keep the rest of your home tidy.
I like how this room connects to the breezeway—it’s practical for coming in from the garage, especially on rainy days.
Breezeway
The breezeway is a key detail that sets this home apart. Protected on both sides, it links the main house to the garage.
During each season, you’ll appreciate not having to dash through the rain with your groceries.
This space gives you a clear spot for coats, shoes, or even a quick chat with a neighbor without bringing the outdoors inside.
Garage
Through the breezeway, you step into the garage. At 24 by 24 feet, it has space for two cars and extra storage along the walls.
With 10-foot ceilings, you could even install overhead racks or add a small workshop in the corner.
I think the detached feel, with the covered breezeway in between, keeps the noise and fumes away from your living spaces and gives the garage a sense of independence.
Back Porch
The back porch is the kind of space you can use year-round. Covered and stretching the entire width of the house, it’s easy to imagine grilling here in the summer or hanging string lights for cozy fall evenings.
With direct access from both the dining area and kitchen, outdoor dining and entertaining feel natural.
You’re just a step away from the backyard, making it simple to keep an eye on kids or pets.
Primary Suite
From the family room, you’ll find a short hallway leading to the primary suite. Tucked privately in its own corner, this is a true retreat.
The bedroom itself has plenty of space for a king bed plus a reading chair or two.
Large windows look out onto the yard, so the room is always filled with light.
The attached bathroom is just as generous, and the oversized closet is a dream for anyone who loves to keep things organized.
I think the placement here is carefully chosen. It’s quiet, separated from the other bedrooms, and feels a little bit like your own private wing.
Primary Closet
Within the suite, the closet really stands out. At over 10 by 8 feet, there’s room for custom shelving, shoe racks, and all the storage you could need.
This keeps the bedroom free of clutter and gives you a dedicated spot to get ready each day.
Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4
On the other side of the family room, there’s a separate hallway leading to three more bedrooms.
Bedrooms 2 and 3 are mirror images, each with a large window and room for a full or queen bed and extra furniture.
These would work well for children, guests, or even a dedicated office or hobby room.
Bedroom 4 is just across the hall, slightly set apart for a little more privacy.
It’s about the same size, which adds flexibility. No one is getting the “small” room here.
Bathrooms and Linen Closet
These three bedrooms share a full bathroom at the end of the hallway. The bathroom features a double vanity, making busy mornings that much easier.
Right outside, there’s a linen closet set into the wall. I appreciate details like this because having storage where you need it makes daily living smoother.
Optional Basement
If you check the stairs off the family room labeled “Opt Basement,” you’ll see there’s potential to expand the living space even further.
While the drawings don’t show the finished basement layout, you could create a rec room, home gym, or extra storage down there.
I’ve seen families get creative with these kinds of spaces, making them truly their own as needs change.
Upstairs Staircase
From the family room, the main staircase leads up to the second level. The design keeps the ascent open, with a partial railing overlooking the space below.
You get glimpses of the family room as you climb, thanks to the vaulted ceilings and open railing, which keeps the upstairs bright and connected instead of closed off.
Loft
At the top of the stairs, you’ll find the loft. The space is impressive—over 22 by 25 feet—with a vaulted ceiling that echoes the openness of the family room below.
This area could become just about anything you want: a second living room, a playroom, a media zone, or even a home office with plenty of natural light.
The railing and open-to-below design make sure it never feels boxed in. I picture this as a flexible area that can grow with your family or adjust to your changing needs over time.
Second Level Porch
Step out from the loft and you reach the second level porch. It runs the full width of the house, matching the back porch below but offering a different perspective.
Whether you’re enjoying the morning sun, relaxing in the evenings, or setting up a hammock or container garden, the possibilities are wide open.
There’s a certain sense of privacy up here that gives you a peaceful getaway without leaving home.
This modern farmhouse blends classic proportions with fresh, modern design choices. Every room is well considered, and the flow between spaces feels natural from the front porch to the upstairs loft.
With all the living and entertaining possibilities, this is a home built for real life.
It’s comfortable, connected, and ready for whatever each day brings.
