This elevated 2 story modern farmhouse combines a functional layout for a family while also ensuring it to be a home for fun and entertaining for friends and neighbors.

From the welcoming covered front porch, guests will enter the 2,913 square foot home directly into the impressive great room that has 2 story ceilings and is anchored by the fireplace. Through the full wall of sliding glass doors, the back covered porch increases the living space for entertaining.

The open room melds into the kitchen / casual eating area. The large island has seating for 4 and there are plenty of built-in cabinets for storage. The chef of the home will be delighted with the tucked away prepped kitchen that is flanked by the main level’s powder room and also a wine bar opposite. The small pocket office at the front of the home could be used for school, work or even additional pantry / kitchen tool storage.

Completing the left side of the home you’ll find the 3 car side garage in the back. The garage conveniently opens into the combo mud/locker room (that also has an exterior door), the laundry room of the home. Also nestled inside of the garage, there is an extension of the backyard porch area that has access to its own ¾ shower bathroom and a storage room.

The master suite claims the right side of the 1st level and is separated by a clever use of the stairwell of the home, providing privacy as well as minimizing noise from the living areas. The ensuite bath has a large walk-in shower as well as a stand alone bathtub. There are two walk-in closets for the owners of the home. The master also can enjoy the back porch through the sliding glass doors centering the bedroom.

Up the stairs you will find the remaining 3 bedrooms of the home. Two of the bedrooms share a jack and jill bath while the 3rd secondary bedroom has access to the full hall bathroom directly adjacent. The upstairs loft is a perfect winding down area for older kids on weekend nights or even a separate playroom space for younger children. The openness of the loft area from the 2nd story great room down below elevates the style, brings in natural light and makes the space feel even larger. The homeowners can choose to build out the bonus area, adding 640 sq.ft. to the total heated living space and increase the bed count to 5 and using the larger bonus space as a media / movie room.
