Multi-Generational Modern Farmhouse – ~3,005 Sq Ft with Wrap-Around Porch & In-Law Suite

This thoughtful modern farmhouse, spanning about 3,005 sq ft, brings people together while granting space and privacy. It includes a two-bedroom main house with a generous wrap-around porch and a connected, yet separate, one-bedroom apartment—complete with a full kitchen, bath, side porch, and its own entrance. Ideal for extended family, flexible living, or future rental income. 1

A Porch That Welcomes

Step into the great room through a gracious wrap-around porch. It’s the sort of entrance that thinks, “Take your time coming in.” The porch anchors the home’s charm and invites relaxation—even before you step inside. 2

Easy Living in Main House

  • Open Great Room: Central to the main home, flowing naturally into dining and kitchen zones with generous space and light.
  • Kitchen: Plenty of counter space, a walk-in pantry adjacent to the dining room, designed for multiple cooks—or meal prep parties. 3
  • Master & Bonus Level: A spacious master suite anchors one wing, while stairs lead up to an optional bonus room above—great for future storage, office, or hobby space. 4

Multi-Gene

rational Design with Independence

Lined at the back of the home are the home office and second bedroom (main house), then seamlessly connected to an apartment with its own kitchen and bath—plus a side porch and private entry. Together, they let different generations live close—with their own space. 5
