If you’re looking for a home that lets multiple generations live together *and* have their own space, this design hits the sweet spot.
With approx. 3,416 sq ft, this modern farmhouse features two full kitchens, two separate laundry rooms, a spacious in-law apartment plus the main house—all under one roof.
Curb Appeal & Exterior Details
The exterior brings that modern farmhouse aesthetic—wrap-around porch, clean siding, dormer windows above, wide eaves for shade, and a welcoming front entry. It sets the tone for what’s inside: classic, practical, and stylish.
Layout & Multi-Generational Functionality
This design smartly divides space: the main house hosts its own kitchen, living, master suite, and amenities; and then there’s an in-law apartment (approx. 1,289 sq ft) with its own kitchen, living spaces, bedrooms, baths, and a screened porch—so loved ones can be nearby without sacrificing independence.
Two Kitchens, Two Laundries = Daily Life Made Easier
One of the standout features: **two full kitchens** and **two laundry rooms**. Whether one side is for grandparents, a teen/young adult, or rental use—everyone has their zone. Shared spaces are balanced with private ones, making the layout extremely adaptable. 5
Master Suite + Guest/Family Wing
The main house includes a master suite (quietly located) with en-suite bath and walk-in closet.
On the opposite wing or area, the bedrooms for the rest of the family or guests sit in their own zone—so everyone has their space. The in-law apartment offers full autonomy. 6
Outdoor Living & Garage
A generous porch wraps part of the home and invites casual outdoor living—morning coffee, evening chats, kids at play. The garage accommodates 3-4 cars depending on configuration, making room for vehicles *and* storage. 7

Estimated U.S. Build Cost (USD)
For a home of this size, style, and complexity (including dual kitchens/apartments), a typical U.S. mid-to-higher finish build might land around **$200 – $300 per sq ft** (this range accounts for added complexity).
That equates to roughly **$680K – $1.02M USD** (land/site costs not included). Adjust based on finish quality, location, labour and material costs.
Why This Plan Works
This design neatly solves the “multi-gen” challenge: shared home, separate space. You get togetherness and independence. The two-kitchen & two-laundry setup means less competition for daily tasks. The wrap-around porch and one-level layout make it feel welcoming. Whether it’s parents, adult kids, or guests, everyone gets dignity and convenience.
Who It’s Great For
- Families wanting to live + care for aging parents with ease.
- Multi-gen households: kids, grandparents, and conjugal units under one roof but with separate wings.
- Homeowners looking for rental potential via a self-contained apartment space.
- Those seeking a modern farmhouse aesthetic with functional flexibility.
