Charming Modern Farmhouse in ~600 Sq Ft – 1 Bed, 1 Bath

This thoughtfully designed one-bedroom modern farmhouse delivers about 600 sq ft of efficient living space. It includes one bedroom, one full bathroom, and generous front and rear porches to enhance both curb appeal and functionality.

Exterior & Curb Appeal

The façade features clean lines and modern farmhouse detailing. A generous 180 sq ft covered front porch adds visual warmth and outdoor utility—ideal for relaxing or greeting guests.

Porches & Outdoor Living

A matching 180 sq ft rear covered porch reflects the symmetry and offers sheltered space for dining, lounging, or extending indoor living outside.

Interior Layout & Flow

The open plan centers around a cozy living area leading into a kitchen zone. With an 8 ft ceiling height, the home feels comfortable and inviting despite its compact footprint.

Bedroom & Bathroom

The single bedroom includes built-in storage and easy access to the full bathroom. The layout supports privacy while remaining compact and efficient.

Storage & Utility Areas

Storage is integrated under stair or cabinet space, and closets are thoughtfully designed near entry zones to maximize utility in minimal space.
