If you have a large family that’s always on the move but you also love to be able to slow down intentionally and remember what’s important, or maybe you have a beautiful lot with acreage that you’ve been waiting to build the perfect “porch” house on, this elevated 2 story (with an optional 3rd lower basement level) Modern Farmhouse design has just about everything you need and want.

Entering the home from the covered front porch, your guests will immediately feel the airiness from the open 2 story foyer, flanked by the formal dining room and a “flex” room that could be used as a bedroom or an office/study/music room. There’s a hallway bath that is used for guests and both secondary bed(room)s on the main level.

The substantially sized living area is anchored by a beautiful fireplace that has 2 sets of french doors accessing the vaulted screened porch.

The cook of the home will love the 3 point kitchen with a large island. The breakfast nook has a beautiful bay of windows providing views and sunshine on those early mornings for the kiddos. There’s a small sunroom adjacent which is a perfect spot for some good coffee and a motivational book for mom or dad to begin their days with.

 The family entrance from the 2 car offset garage has the “hub” helping keep things organized with the built-in bench and laundry area. Unloading groceries will have more ease with the large walk-in pantry right inside of the garage.

There are two options on how to build out the second level (or not). You can choose to have the living area on the main floor have two story ceilings, or you can build the room encased with several options of how to use the flex space (bedroom(s), play room, or media room, etc.).

If you choose to leave it as a 2 story great room, you’ll find the 3 remaining secondary bedrooms up the stairs with beds 2 & 3 sharing a jack-n-jill bathroom while bedroom 4 has an ensuite bathroom. The master retreat has the entire right side of the upstairs and includes an optional fireplace and a sitting room. It’s opulent master bath area includes a tub, and a shower with a built-in seat, separate vanities and a large walk-in closet.

(The optional basement plan would add an additional 1672 heated sq.ft.)
