Here’s a one-story home that plays boss: approximately 3,517 sq ft of living space, featuring **5 bedrooms**, multiple full bathrooms, and that unmistakable “barndo” vibe — steel or board-and-batten siding, wide porches, generous volume, and workshop/garage space built in from the start.
Exterior & First Impressions
The façade gives you barn-charm without compromising home-feel.
Think wide steel gable roof, exposed timber supports, board-and-batten siding (or metal panels) and deep porches both front and rear—about 7′11″ front and 9′11″ rear, running the full width of living spaces.
2 These porches do more than look good — they expand living outdoors, perfect for rocking chairs, summer evenings, or letting the kids roam.
Open Living Core That Flows
Inside, living, dining and kitchen merge seamlessly—ideal for family life and entertaining.
The great room includes a corner fireplace and direct access via sliding doors to the rear porch.
The kitchen centers around a large island with eating bar, tying social zones together effortlessly.
Bedroom Layout & Flexibility
With five bedrooms on a single level, this plan fits large or growing families, guest suites, or those needing work-spaces disguised as bedrooms.
The master suite commands one end, with private bath and walk-in closet; the remaining four bedrooms occupy the other side—ideal for separating sleeping zones from living zones.
(As is typical in barndo-style open plans, zoning and circulation are key.)
Garage / Workshop & Utility Area
The right side of the plan dedicates space to garage/workshop bays with overhead doors from the side, likely deep enough for vehicles, tools, or hobbies. This built-in utility zone enhances the barndominium identity and adds serious functionality for multi-use living. 4

Estimated U.S. Build Cost
With this size and barndominium-style finish, you should estimate around **$180-$260 per sq ft**, depending heavily on region, materials (metal vs wood siding), site conditions, and complexity of the workshop/garage spaces.
That puts your ballpark build cost around **$633K-$915K USD**.
Land, permits, and site work would be extra.
Why This Plan Works
- One-level living simplifies daily life—no stairs required for bedrooms.
- Five bedrooms give flexibility: large family, guest suites, home office(s), hobby rooms.
- Barndominium style delivers high ceiling volume, large garage/workshop area, open living—good for those who want a home + hobby space under one roof.
- Deep porches enhance indoor-outdoor flow and create usable outdoor living space without expanding footprint.
Good To Know / Considerations
Because it’s broadly open and expansive, proper insulation, acoustics, and zoning become important—especially in workshop/garage areas. Also, ensure circulation (how you move between bedrooms, living, and utility spaces) is comfortable so that the “shop” side doesn’t feel disruptive to the living side.
