Exterior Design
This ADU/farmhouse plan delivers **924 sq ft** of heated living space, attached to a truly oversized **3-car garage** totaling about **1,561 sq ft**. The garage dominates visually in the center with two large service doors. Vertical and horizontal siding combine on the exterior to give a classic country farmhouse feel with clean modern touches.
Exterior walls are built with **2×6 framing** for durability and insulation. The roof uses trusses; the primary roof pitch is **10-on-12** with secondary sections at **4-on-12**. The overall dimensions of the structure are about **65′ wide by 45′ deep**, and maximum ridge height reaches nearly **30 feet**—tall for an ADU, giving the garage strong presence.
Interior Layout
The living quarters (right of the garage) are compact but well designed. There’s an open plan with **zero walls between kitchen and living room**, anchored by a large island that becomes a natural gathering point.
The two bedrooms are clustered off a hall, along with laundry on the main level, providing privacy and keeping the functional spaces efficient. There is one full bathroom servicing the two bedrooms.
Floor Plan:
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
This plan has **2 bedrooms** and **1 full bathroom**. The bedrooms are modest in size—but well proportioned, especially given the efficient layout. Storage is provided through closets and the laundry area.
Living & Dining Spaces
The main living space is open and integrated with the kitchen. With zero dividing walls between living and kitchen, the sense of space is much greater than what 924 sq ft might suggest. The large kitchen island serves both as prep counter and informal gathering spot.
Windows and open exposure toward the side patio (accessible from the living/kitchen area) bring natural light in and allow for indoor/outdoor connection.
Kitchen Features
The kitchen features a large island, optimized counters, and seemingly good cabinetry layout for its size. The open sight-lines to the living space mean the cook remains part of the household action.
Outdoor Living (porch, deck, patio, etc.)
A side patio is accessible from the living/kitchen area, ideal for grilling or relaxing outdoors. Also, the garage includes a rear garage door opening to a covered porch, offering sheltered outdoor utility (for example for loading/unloading or workstation, etc.).
Garage & Storage
The oversized **3-vehicle garage** is the most striking accessory. With ~1,561 sq ft, it’s large enough to house several vehicles, workbench or workshop space, and storage. Its presence dominates the structure, giving that “barndominium”/garage-apartment hybrid feel.
Storage inside the living area is appropriately handled via bedroom closets, kitchen/pantry cabinets, and built-in laundry. Because the garage is huge, many non-living storage needs could be met there.
Bonus/Expansion Rooms
This plan does not include an official bonus room above the living space. However, the spacious garage could allow for future conversion of loft space or storage area above, depending on structure and local codes. The tall ridge height provides possibility for vertical options above the garage.
Estimated Building Cost
The estimated cost to build this home in the United States ranges between $400,000 – $650,000, depending on location, materials, labor, foundation type, and finish level. The oversized garage, high roof pitch, and quality framing will be key cost drivers.
In summary, Plan 280164JWD offers a unique combination: compact yet comfortable living space paired with a massive garage/workshop. For someone needing 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, open living, and a workspace for vehicles or projects, this country farmhouse ADU delivers strong utility without sacrificing style. Warm, practical, and built for action.
