Plan Details

This 3 bed, 2.5 bath modern farmhouse - just 2,291 square feet - is the smallest of three versions in this plan family (56478SM is 2,400 square feet and 56535SM is 2,841 square feet). This shares the balance and symmetry of its larger cousins while being lighter on your budget due to its smaller size. Two gables flank the 6'-deep front porch with 10' ceilings and a 4:12 pitch. A classic gabled dormer - for aesthetic purposes - is centered over the front French doors that welcome you inside. Board and batten siding helps give it great curb appeal.
Vaulted ceilings in the family room are visible from the foyer. Step into the room and you'll find a fireplace on the right wall flanked by built-ins and views that extend across the rear porch with fireplace and to the kitchen.
The gourmet kitchen features a walk-in pantry, large prep island with seating for four, and a nearby formal dining room. For warmer months, enjoy the grilling porch just outside the kitchen.
The master bedroom is quietly situated on the left side of the home, and boasts vaulted ceilings, a spacious bathroom with a large walk-in closet, and a separate tub and shower.
Two secondary bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home and share a Jack and Jill bath.
Stairs take you to a bonus room with bath and can be used as a fourth bedroom, home office or play room. When finished, it gives you 603 square feet of heated space.
Behind the home, a carport has room for two vehicles. A separate storage area gives you space for yard equipment and other gear.
