This 2,800 square foot modern farmhouse was thoughtfully designed for a family of five, blending the warmth and charm of traditional rural architecture with the functionality and openness of contemporary living. The home’s design supports the evolving needs of a busy household while maintaining a strong sense of comfort, connection, and style.
The main level centers around an open-concept living plan that encourages interaction and togetherness. A spacious kitchen anchors the home, flowing seamlessly into a casual bistro dining area and a generous family room—perfect for daily life and entertaining alike. Natural light and clean lines define the interior, complemented by rustic-modern materials that ground the home in its farmhouse roots.
Adjacent to the main living space is a versatile office that can easily convert into a guest suite, complete with its own full bathroom—providing flexibility for visiting friends and extended family or accommodating work-from-home needs with privacy and ease.
The upper floor is designed with family life in mind. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged for the family’s teenage children, each offering ample storage and shared access to thoughtfully designed bathrooms. Tucked away above the two-car garage, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat for the parents. This suite includes a spacious bedroom, private bath, and a dedicated study—ideal for quiet reflection or remote work.
Throughout, the architecture balances classic farmhouse aesthetics—such as gabled rooflines, a covered front porch, and natural wood accents—with contemporary design elements and energy-efficient systems. The result is a home that feels both timeless and tailored, perfectly suited to modern family life in a rural or suburban setting.
