This beautifully balanced modern farmhouse spans approximately 3,077 sq ft on a single level, offering 4 bedrooms (or 5, if you finish the bonus), 3.5–4.5 baths, and a 2-car garage.
What makes it special? Three outdoor “fresh-air” spaces: a wide front porch, a screened porch, and a covered lanai—each enhancing how you live and breathe in the home.
Porches & Outdoor Connection
With three defined outdoor areas—**front porch**, **screened porch**, and a **covered lanai**—this design encourages outdoor living in style. The lanai even has space for an outdoor kitchen accessible from the breakfast nook. 1
Smart & Symmetric Layout
The front of the house is perfectly symmetrical, giving a crisp, clean feel. Walk through French doors into a foyer that flows into a vaulted family room with a fireplace and windows lining the back wall. 2
Kitchen & Dining That Work Together
- The kitchen boasts a 4′ × 8′ island, **two sinks**, and a dishwasher—ideal for family cooking or entertaining. 3
- A large walk-in pantry sits close to the garage, making unloading groceries convenient. 4
- The breakfast nook has direct access to the lanai, making outdoor dining feel completely natural. 5
Private & Functional Living Zones
The **master suite** is tucked on one side for privacy and includes two walk-in closets and a luxurious five-fixture bathroom. 6
On the other side, three additional bedrooms are grouped with shared bathroom space—smart for guest flow or family hierarchy. 7
Bonus Room Flexibility
Over the garage, there’s a 360 sq ft bonus room with a full bath—ideal for a 5th bedroom, playroom, or home office. 8

Estimated U.S. Build Cost

User Feedback & Considerations
> “It’s a really balanced design and that three-porch setup is amazing — but be careful: bump-outs + porches can add serious cost if not priced well.”
