If you’ve been looking for a modern farmhouse that feels equal parts “welcome home” and “bring everybody over,” this one checks a lot of boxes.
You’re getting 2,985 square feet of heated living space, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a smart single-story layout that keeps daily life easy (no stairs required just to grab the laundry basket).
And the outdoor living? It’s not an afterthought. With 596 square feet of porch and patio space split between a 243 sq ft front porch and a 353 sq ft back porch, you’ve got room for rocking chairs up front and serious lounging (or loud laughing) out back.
Exterior & Curb Appeal
This design leans into that clean modern farmhouse look that people love: crisp lines, a balanced footprint, and a welcoming presence that looks great whether you’re in boots, slides, or coming home with groceries in both hands.
The home’s overall footprint is a roomy 77′ wide by 71′ deep, with a height of about 33′. That gives it a confident, grounded look—big enough to feel substantial, but still friendly and approachable (not “mansion vibes,” unless you want to call it that).
Porches & Outdoor Living
Let’s talk porch math, because this is the kind of math we actually enjoy. You’ve got 596 sq ft total:
- Front porch: 243 sq ft
- Back porch: 353 sq ft
The front porch is perfect for morning coffee and waving at neighbors like you’re in a movie. The back porch is bigger, which is exactly what you want if you’re planning meals outside, family hangouts, or just a quiet spot to disappear with your phone for “five minutes” (we both know it’ll be twenty).
Interior Layout & Flow
The inside is designed around an open floor plan, which is a fancy way of saying: you can cook, talk, watch what’s happening, and still feel connected. It’s the kind of layout that works for real life—weeknight dinners, weekend guests, and the occasional “everybody is here at once” moment.
Ceiling heights are generous too, with 10-foot ceilings on the main level. That extra height makes rooms feel brighter, airier, and a little more “ahhh” the second you walk in.
Kitchen & Main Living Spaces
The kitchen includes a kitchen island, which is basically the unofficial headquarters of the home. Islands are where snacks happen, homework happens, and where people stand around talking even though there are perfectly good seats nearby.
Because the plan is open, the kitchen naturally blends into the main living area, making entertaining feel effortless. You can be part of the conversation while handling dinner, and you won’t feel like you’re hosting from a separate zip code.
Home Office & Everyday Flex Space
A dedicated study is included, and that’s a big deal. Whether you work from home full-time, need a quiet place to handle bills, or just want a room where nobody touches your pens, a study gives you options without stealing space from the bedrooms.
It also makes a great hobby room, reading room, or “I need five minutes of peace” room. Call it what you want—just enjoy having it.
Bedrooms & Baths
This home includes 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with a split-bedroom setup. That means the primary suite is positioned for privacy away from the other bedrooms—ideal if your household runs on different schedules (or if you simply enjoy not hearing every single footstep in the hallway).
The primary bedroom is also on the main floor, which is exactly what many homeowners want long-term. It’s comfortable now, and it’s future-friendly later.
One of the standout functional perks is a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. It’s one of those features that makes daily routines smoother, especially for shared bedrooms—less hallway traffic, fewer arguments, and a more organized flow.
Laundry, Mud Room, and the “Real Life” Spaces
Laundry is conveniently located on the main floor, because hauling baskets up and down stairs is not a personality trait anyone needs. This layout supports everyday living in a practical, sane way.
You also get a mud room, and honestly, mud rooms are underrated until you have one. It’s the drop zone for shoes, backpacks, sports gear, and all the little things that otherwise end up on your kitchen counter like they pay rent.
Bonus Room Potential
Upstairs (or above the main level area), you’ve got a 357 sq ft bonus room. This is the space that can evolve with your life: game room, home theater, teen hangout, craft room, home gym, or guest overflow when everybody decides to visit at the same time.
The best part is that it’s optional-style space—there when you want it, separate enough that it won’t interrupt the calm of your main living level.
Garage & Practical Storage
This plan includes a 2-car, side-entry garage with 564 sq ft of unheated garage area. Side-entry garages are a big curb-appeal win because they keep the front exterior looking cleaner and more “home-like,” rather than “garage-first.”
And 564 square feet is plenty of room for vehicles plus storage—bikes, tools, seasonal decorations, and the mysterious bins we all keep “just in case.”

Lifestyle Benefits
This is the kind of home that supports both togetherness and privacy. The open layout makes everyday living feel connected, while the split-bedroom design gives you breathing room when you need it.
The bonus room gives you flexibility (and a place for noise), the study supports work and focus, and the mud room keeps real life from spilling into your main spaces. Add those generous porches, and you’ve got a home that encourages slow mornings, big gatherings, and everything in between.
Estimated U.S. Build Cost
For a home of this size (2,985 sq ft heated, plus a 564 sq ft garage and 596 sq ft of porch/patio), a rough U.S. build-cost range often lands around $650,000 to $900,000, depending on your region, finishes, site work, foundation choice, and how custom you go with materials.
If you choose higher-end selections (custom cabinetry, upgraded windows, premium roofing, and designer lighting), expect the total to trend toward the upper end. If you keep finishes practical and your site is straightforward, you may stay closer to the lower end.
Either way, this design gives you a lot of “wow” for the square footage—especially with those outdoor spaces and the bonus room flexibility.
