Modern Farmhouse with Bonus Level in ~2,473 Sq Ft – 3 Beds, 2½ Baths

This modern farmhouse offers thoughtful design across one level, with approximately 2,473 sq ft of heated space. It includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a half-bath, and an optional unfinished bonus level of about 371 sq ft.

Exterior & Curb Appeal

The façade features clean gabled rooflines, board-and-batten siding, and a welcoming covered porch with balanced symmetry. A side-entry two-car garage integrates seamlessly into the layout.

Porches & Outdoor Living

A covered front porch spans around 239 sq ft, while a rear covered porch of roughly 297 sq ft offers sheltered outdoor living—ideal for casual seating or grilling zones.

Interior Layout & Flow

Inside, the living spaces are open and balanced. Vaulted ceilings in the living room invite natural light, flowing into kitchen, dining, and adjacent lounge areas. A large kitchen island and walk-in pantry enhance daily usability.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The master suite sits apart from two secondary bedrooms, and each bedroom offers access to its own full bath. A guest half-bath near the main living zone supports guests without disrupting private space.

Bonus & Flex Space

The unfinished bonus level above the garage adds approximately 371 sq ft. This space can be completed as a guest loft, studio, or flexible home office over time.

Storage & Utility Areas

A mudroom off the side-entry garage transitions into the kitchen. Bedrooms offer walk-in closets, and pantry storage near the kitchen ensures the layout remains organized and functional.

Design Highlights

  • Clean modern farmhouse aesthetics with board-and-batten and gables
  • Vaulted main living area with generous natural light
  • Master suite separated from secondary bedrooms for privacy
  • Optional unfinished bonus loft above garage for future expansion
  • Front and rear porches for versatile outdoor living
  • Practical mudroom and pantry for functional flow

Why This Plan Stands Out

Plan #46529LA combines simplicity and future flexibility. With open living zones, covered outdoor spaces, and optional bonus expansion, it adapts gracefully to life stages and lifestyle change without compromising style or comfort.
