This stylish modern farmhouse blends gracious living with functional flexibility.
At about 3,669 sq ft, the home offers a main residence with 3–4 bedrooms, plus a fully attached 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment—perfect for family, guests, or rental income.
The layout balances shared spaces with privacy, making it ideal for multigenerational households or future-proofing.
Curb Appeal & Dual Frontage
The façade shows beautiful farmhouse cues—board-and-batten siding, bold gables, and a welcoming covered porch.
The apartment wing is integrated so the home feels cohesive yet thoughtfully segmented. Day-to-day, it reads as one home; for guests or renters, it works like two.
Shared Zones That Sing
- Open Living + Dining: Vaulted ceilings and large windows enlarge the sense of space, creating a warm, open-heart feeling.
- Entertainer’s Kitchen: Large island, walk-in pantry, and direct access to a covered rear porch ensure this space holds up to every use.
- Mudroom & Butler’s Pantry: Utility zones that hide the mess while increasing functionality. Perfect transition from garage to kitchen to living.
Main Home: Private & Purposeful
The main bedroom rests on one side—quiet, private, and complete with spa-like bath and walk-in closets.
On the other wing, two or three additional bedrooms share thoughtfully located bathrooms. Optionally, the apartment could act as a fourth sleeping zone, depending on your needs.
Apartment Wing: Self-Contained Yet Together
The attached 1-bedroom apartment includes a living area, kitchen, bath, and private access.
It offers autonomy for occupants without isolating them—ideal for aging in place, extended family, or rental income.
Outdoors, Elevated
A generous rear covered porch lets both zones access fresh air and shade. Whether morning coffee or evening gathering, indoor meets outdoor elegantly.
