Hill Country Modern Farmhouse – 2,961 Sq Ft, Office, Bonus Room + Porches

This Hill Country farmhouse stretches across approximately 2,961 sq ft on one level and may be expanded with a bonus room above the garage.

It offers a striking 8′-deep front porch (vaulted to 10′ at the center), 4 bedrooms (or 5), 3.5–4.5 bathrooms, a home office just off the entry, and vaulted great room living with seamless indoor-outdoor access.
