Exterior Design
This striking modern farmhouse delivers **1,600 heated square feet**, all on a single level.
The façade blends **board-and-batten siding** with stone wainscoting for a refined yet grounded aesthetic.
A standout feature is the **600 sq ft covered front porch**, which dominates the front elevation and extends usable outdoor space.
The exterior walls are framed with **2×6 construction** (standard).
Roof detail includes a primary **9:12 pitch** plus a secondary **3:12 pitch** in transitional roof zones.
Interior Layout
You enter directly from the porch into the home’s core—no formal foyer.
The living room soars with a vaulted ceiling, creating a dramatic vertical openness.
That vaulted living room flows seamlessly into dining and kitchen zones, making for fluid, open connectivity.
A **butler’s walk-in pantry** lies adjacent to the kitchen, supporting storage without crowding the layout.
A **main-level laundry/mudroom** is positioned nearby for daily convenience and functional circulation.
Floor Plan:
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The plan includes **3 bedrooms**.
There are **2 full bathrooms**.
The **primary suite** is on the main level, featuring a walk-in closet and a private en suite bathroom.
The two secondary bedrooms share a hall bath, accessible without passing through common living zones.
Living & Dining Spaces
The vaulted living area is the home’s focal point—tall, open, and visually connected to other zones.
Dining lies adjacent to that vaulted zone, allowing shared volume and sightlines.
Windows facing the porch and throughout the rear ensure ample natural light and a sense of openness.
Kitchen Features
The kitchen centers on a generous island, balancing function and social connection.
The walk-in butler’s pantry supports extra storage, prep space, and hides everyday clutter.
Outdoor Living (porch, deck, patio, etc.)
The **600 sq ft covered front porch** is a defining feature—effectively extending the living area outdoors and providing plenty of capacity for seating, relaxing, or greeting guests.
While the plan is named for its “expansive porch,” the design suggests connections to rear outdoor space via doors or transitions, though rear porch area is not emphasized in the summary.
Garage & Storage
The description does not prominently list a garage in the base plan.
Storage is addressed through the walk-in pantry, the primary closet, and efficient design choices to avoid wasted space.
Bonus/Expansion Rooms
This design is strictly a single-story home with no bonus or loft area referenced.
The geometry and porch structure may allow for additions or further outdoor integration, depending on lot and structural considerations.
Estimated Building Cost
The estimated cost to build this home in the United States ranges between $400,000 – $600,000, depending on region, finish levels, foundation type, and site conditions.
