Cozy Modern Farmhouse – ~1,964 Sq Ft | 3 Beds, 2–3 Baths, Lower-Level Expansion

Welcome to this charming, one-story modern farmhouse that spans approximately 1,964 sq ft of inviting, well-balanced living space. Designed for today and adaptable for tomorrow, it features 3 bedrooms (with the possibility of fitting a 4th), 2 full baths (plus an optional third), and a clever walkout foundation that makes a future lower-level expansion seamless. It’s especially well suited for lakeside or gently sloped lots. 1

Exterior Appeal with a Purpose

Curb appeal shines through with mixed materials—metal roofing, stone accents, and traditional board-and-batten siding—complemented by exposed rafter tails on the front porch. It’s rustic, modern, and beautifully intentional. 2

Open & Functional Interior Flow

Step through a welcoming foyer into the vaulted great room with fireplace—light-filled and ideal for daily living or entertaining. Nearby, the kitchen and dining areas connect with smart ease, and the design thoughtfully integrates traffic flow by placing the mudroom and butler’s pantry near the garage entry. 3

Thoughtful Layout for Family Life

  • The master suite feels private and relaxed—comfortably separated from secondary rooms.
  • The opposite side includes 2 additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom—great for family or guests.
  • Need flexibility? The plan supports a 4th bedroom or an office space instead of a bathroom. 4

Lower-Level Expansion: Built-In Potential

Thanks to its walkout foundation, adding a functional lower level is easy to imagine. Whether it’s for extra bedrooms, a family/game room, or storage, this expansion keeps your home scalable and future-ready. 5

  • Adaptable for future needs, making it both beautiful and wise investment.

Estimated U.S. Build Cost

Modern farmhouses of this size and finish typically build for around $170–$245 per sq ft. That suggests an estimated cost of **$335K–$480K USD**, depending on materials, labor costs, and regional differences. (This excludes land, site prep, and finishing of the lower level.)

A Builder’s Insight from Luxe Dreamer

“As soon as you step into the foyer, you are greeted by a spacious area that feels welcoming… The great room is large and airy, thanks to the vaulted ceilings. The fireplace is a nice touch… The kitchen connects beautifully with the dining area—perfect for hosting.” 6

This home isn’t just nice to look at—it’s easy to live in, budget-forward, and ready to grow with you.
