This warm traditional farmhouse design spans about 2,394 sq ft and offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, and a 2-car garage. It also includes a flexible 390 sq ft bonus area for whatever your life demands next.
Charming Exterior & Layout Fundamentals
With a 75′ wide facade and depth of 69′, this design combines classic proportions with modern functionality.
The roof pitch is steep (9:12), and front porches total roughly 785 sq ft—plenty of room to relax outdoors.
The house is framed with 2×4 walls by default, though a 2×6 option is available. Living area is entirely on the main level, with the bonus space accessible upstairs.
Interior Flow & Living Experience
- Great Room & Dining: Open and airy, with views extending to back porches and natural light streaming in.
- Kitchen & Pantry: Includes a butler’s pantry and options for an outdoor kitchen—ideal for entertaining.
- Flex Spaces: The plan includes mudroom, office, and storage zones built in, keeping day-to-day life tidy.
Bedroom Configuration & Privacy
The master suite is thoughtfully placed with its own bath, and the two guest/secondary bedrooms are organized on the opposite side of the home, each with full baths—so privacy is balanced with accessibility.
The bonus area upstairs can be converted into extra bedroom(s), play space, or home studio.
Porches & Outdoor Connection
Front and rear porches extend your living space without complicating the footprint. The design’s outdoor kitchen option encourages alfresco meals and social moments just outside the main rooms.
