If your dream home is equal parts “come on in and stay awhile” and “yes, we actually have a place for all the stuff,” this modern farmhouse delivers in a big way.
With 2,986 square feet of heated living space, 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms, it’s designed for real life: family routines, weekend hosting, messy boots, and the occasional “we need a quiet room right now” moment.
It’s primarily a one-story home (which your knees will appreciate), but it also includes a bonus room upstairs—perfect for the extras you want without turning the whole house into a two-story maze.
Add in a dedicated home office, a mud room, a side-entry 2-car garage, and a generous amount of outdoor space, and you’ve got a layout that feels polished, practical, and ready for everything from weeknight chaos to holiday gatherings.
Exterior & Curb Appeal
This home has the kind of modern farmhouse presence that looks confident without trying too hard. The footprint is substantial—about 86′ 2″ wide by 86′ 2″ deep—giving it that spread-out, “everything is where it should be” feeling. With a height around 30′ 3″ and a classic 10:12 main roof pitch, it keeps that farmhouse silhouette you want: tall enough to feel grand, not so tall it feels formal.
The side-entry garage is a big curb-appeal win. It lets the front of the home shine (instead of shouting “GARAGE!” at your guests), and it tends to look more upscale and estate-like, especially on a corner lot or a wider property.
Porches & Outdoor Living Spaces
If you love outdoor living, you’ll love the numbers here: the total porch/patio area is 945 square feet. That’s not a “tiny stoop and a prayer” kind of porch situation—this is real outdoor square footage you can actually use.
With both a front porch and a rear porch, you get flexibility for how you live. The front is perfect for rocking chairs, seasonal décor, and friendly curb appeal. The back is where life happens: grilling, lounging, watching the kids play, or hosting the kind of gatherings that somehow turn into “just one more hour” (every single time).
Interior Layout & Everyday Flow
Inside, the layout focuses on comfort and function. The home is an open floor plan design, anchored by a kitchen that includes a central island. Translation: you can cook, chat, snack, and supervise homework without feeling cut off from the rest of the house. The island becomes the natural gathering spot—breakfast on busy mornings, appetizers when friends come over, and that one person who always stands in the kitchen no matter what you do.
Ceiling heights help the home feel even more spacious. The main level offers 10-foot ceilings, which gives the living areas a bright, airy vibe and makes everything feel a little more elevated (even if your laundry basket is still living its best life on the floor).
Kitchen & Dining That Feel Social
The kitchen island is the star here—ideal for prep space, casual meals, and everyday hangouts. An open connection to the living and dining areas makes entertaining easy because nobody gets stuck in a back room doing dishes while everyone else laughs out loud at the table.
This is the kind of plan that supports both “simple family dinner” and “we’re hosting and we need space for people to move around.”
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
With 4 bedrooms, this home gives you the flexibility to create the setup that matches your life. You can keep all four as bedrooms, or turn one into a hobby room, a home gym, a study space, or the world’s most peaceful reading room.
The primary suite is on the main floor, which is a huge lifestyle upgrade. It gives you privacy, convenience, and long-term comfort. No stairs required for everyday living—unless you want them (hello, bonus room).
Bathroom-wise, you’ve got 3 full baths plus 1 half bath, which helps mornings run smoother and keeps guests from wandering into your personal space. There’s also a Jack-and-Jill bathroom feature, which is fantastic for shared bedrooms—more privacy than a typical hall bath, and fewer arguments about who left the towel on the floor.
Home Office, Mud Room, and Real-Life Spaces
A dedicated office gives you a true work-from-home zone or a quiet place for planning, paperwork, studying, and all the “serious life stuff” that’s easier when it has its own room.
The mud room is the unsung hero—especially in a farmhouse-style home where outdoor living is part of the lifestyle. It’s the buffer zone that keeps shoes, bags, sports gear, and mystery items from taking over your main living areas.
You also get laundry on the main floor, which is exactly as convenient as it sounds. Laundry day becomes a routine task instead of a full-body workout.
Bonus Room That Adds Flexibility
The included bonus room gives you that “extra space” everyone wants. It’s ideal for a media room, game room, teen hangout, craft studio, or a guest zone that feels separate from the main living areas.
Upstairs ceiling height is listed at 9 feet, so it won’t feel like an afterthought or a cramped attic space. It’s a real room—ready for real use.
Garage & Storage That Actually Help
The 2-car garage offers about 613 square feet, giving you plenty of room for vehicles plus storage. And speaking of storage—there’s also a dedicated 238-square-foot storage area. That’s the difference between “we have closets” and “we have a system.” Holiday décor, tools, sports equipment, bulk shopping finds… it all finally has a home.
Total unheated space comes to about 851 square feet, which adds serious functionality without inflating your heated square footage budget.
