LB Residence

Set against the serene, wooded backdrop of Wintergreen, Virginia, this 2,200 square foot modern farmhouse is designed as a year-round retreat for a family of five. The architecture reflects the timeless character of traditional farmhouses while embracing a clean, contemporary aesthetic—creating a warm, livable home that harmonizes with its natural mountain surroundings.

The design centers around an open living concept that promotes family connection and flexibility. The main floor features a well-appointed kitchen, casual bistro dining area, and a spacious family room—together forming the heart of the home. Large windows and sliding doors invite in natural light and forest views, blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces and reinforcing the home’s connection to the landscape.

Also located on the main level is a private office that easily converts into a guest suite with an adjacent full bathroom, offering a comfortable and flexible space for visitors or remote work.

Upstairs, the layout is designed to meet the demands of active family life. Three bedrooms accommodate the family’s teenage children, with efficient layouts and shared access to a modern bathroom. Above the attached two-car garage, the primary suite serves as a private sanctuary for the parents. This suite includes a spacious bedroom, ensuite bath, and a quiet study tucked beneath the gabled roof—ideal for reading, work, or simply enjoying the tranquil setting.

The farmhouse exterior features a balanced mix of traditional forms and modern detailing: vertical board-and-batten siding, standing seam metal roofing, and clean-lined porches. Materials were chosen for both durability and aesthetics, suitable for the mountain climate while contributing to the home’s rustic-modern charm.

This modern farmhouse in Wintergreen is more than just a home—it’s a thoughtful blend of heritage and innovation, tailored to support the rhythms of family life in one of Virginia’s most beautiful natural settings.
