Modern farmhouses (especially with white exteriors) continue to gain in popularity. These four designs present beguiling combinations of country flair and contemporary amenities.
This fresh farmhouse is filled with luxurious details, from the master suite’s huge closet to the summer kitchen on the back lanai. The open layout of the gathering rooms makes it easy for family and friends to hang out together. In the master suite, the closet connects to a safe room and then the study. Upstairs, all three bedrooms access their own bathrooms. Special touches include a work bench in the garage, a huge walk-in pantry for the kitchen, and direct access to the lanai from the master suite. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
This three-bedroom version of a bestselling plan trims the square footage down to 2,077 but retains the same sleek exterior and open layout. Walk-in closets add practical luxury, while porches in front and back extend living space outside. Other thoughtful details include lockers in the mudroom, a walk-in pantry in the kitchen, and two sinks in the hall bath. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
This sleek farmhouse boasts big bedrooms and an open-concept layout that young families or couples (or downsizing empty-nesters) will love. The master suite sits on the main level for convenience and treats owners to a private bathroom with dual sinks, a whirlpool tub, and a separate shower, along with a walk-in closet. In the open living area, everyone can relax at the kitchen’s snack bar or in the great room by the fireplace. Two more bedrooms (each with generous dimensions) hold kids or visitors upstairs. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
This dreamy farmhouse is also easy to get around, thanks to an elevator that whisks owners upstairs to the bedrooms. Generous room dimensions make sleeping quarters feel special, especially the luxurious master suite. On the main floor, an archway provides an elegant segue from the great room to the island kitchen. Porches (including a screened one) extend to almost completely surround the home for multi-season outdoor living. See more images, information, and the floor plan.
