Exterior Design
This is a **1,620 sq ft** single-story New American farmhouse, built with **2×6 exterior walls** for better insulation and strength.
Its footprint is **44 ft wide × 78 ft deep**, with a maximum ridge height near **23 ft**, giving it a solid, welcoming profile. Roof framing uses trusses, and the roof pitches are **8:12** for primary sections and **10:12** for secondary roof elements.
The home features a **side-entry 2-car garage** of about **720 sq ft**, integrated into the design on the side, helping to preserve the farmhouse aesthetic without dominating the front.
Covered porches enhance the exterior: a **6-ft deep covered porch** across the front, and an **8-ft deep covered porch** at the rear. These offer sheltered outdoor spaces without wasting footprint.
Interior Layout
An open and efficient layout centers on a large great room that flows seamlessly into an L-shaped kitchen with a large island with seating and a walk-in corner pantry. Cabinet space is generous, reducing need for wasted storage space.
The laundry room doubles as a mudroom serving as the transition from the garage into the home. It includes a sink, shelves, and extra storage for things you’d rather not bring into the main living space.
Floor Plan:
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
There are **3 bedrooms** and **2 full bathrooms**. The master bedroom is on the first floor, with a **12-ft coffered ceiling**, a large walk-in closet, and a four-fixture private bath.
The other two bedrooms are clustered on the opposite side of the home and share a hallway bath. This split layout maximizes privacy for the master suite.
Living & Dining Spaces
The great room has **12-ft ceilings**, giving the main gathering area a roomy, airy feeling. Combined with the open kitchen and dining, these spaces feel generous and interconnected.
Large doors and openings ensure good flow and natural light. Because there are no wasted hallways or unneeded corridors, more of the square footage is usable living space.
Kitchen Features
The kitchen is L-shaped with a large island that includes seating—ideal for casual meals or a place for guests to gather.
There is also a corner pantry and ample cabinetry. These help with storage and organization, minimizing clutter and making the kitchen more functional.
Outdoor Living (porch, deck, patio, etc.)
A **6-ft deep front porch** provides a welcoming entry and a shaded spot for seating or greeting guests.
The **8-ft deep rear covered porch** is perfect for outdoor dining, lounging, or connecting the indoors to the outdoors. Great for relaxing evenings or watching the sunset.
Garage & Storage
The side-entry **2-car garage** offers **720 sq ft** of vehicle storage, keeping cars and tools out of view from the front, and helping maintain clean curb appeal.
Interior storage is well thought out: the mudroom / laundry combo includes a sink, shelves, and a closet for outerwear or overflow. Bedroom closets are standard, especially the master’s walk-in. Pantry storage adds function in the kitchen.
Bonus/Expansion Rooms
No defined bonus room or second story is included; this plan is designed as single-story living.
However, the generous covered porches and garage layout do offer opportunities for future expansions or modifications (porch enclosures, extra storage rooms, etc.). The side-garage gives flexibility for enlarging exterior spaces without disturbing the main footprint.
Estimated Building Cost
The estimated cost to build this home in the United States ranges between $525,000 – $725,000, depending on region, material quality, labor rates, foundation type, and finish selection. The large garage, 2×6 walls, premium ceiling treatments in the master, and generous porch coverage tend to push the cost toward the higher end.
In summary, Plan 25034DH is an excellent choice for someone who wants a well-designed, efficient farmhouse with all essentials on one floor. The combination of a side-entry garage, split bedrooms, no wasted hallways, and generous outdoor spaces make it livable, comfortable, and stylish. Perfect for family life without unnecessary excess.
