8-1969 HOUSE PLAN -Modern Farmhouse Home Plan – 3-Bed, 2-Bath, 2,050 SF

Modern Farmhouse House Plan with Stone Accents, Dormers & Easy-Living Flow

About 2,050 heated sq. ft. • 3 bedrooms • 2 baths • Covered front porch • Open-concept core • CAD+PDF included with an unlimited build license

This Modern Farmhouse house plan blends classic American curb appeal with practical, family-friendly design. The exterior pairs board-and-batten and horizontal lap siding with stone veneer accents, a timeless asphalt-shingle roof, and black shutters for crisp contrast. Symmetry, gabled dormers, and a welcoming porch reference the Cape Cod lineage, while clean trim lines and simplified forms place the home squarely in today’s New American / Modern Traditional vocabulary.

Street Presence & Exterior Materials

From the curb, the façade is warm and composed. Stone cladding at the front gable anchors the home visually and resists wear. Vertical board-and-batten in the end gables lightens the massing and creates rhythmic shadow lines throughout the day, while horizontal lap siding across the main body enhances width and balance. Detailed window trim and black shutters reinforce the tailored feel. The covered front porch—supported by simple square columns—delivers everyday utility: a dry landing zone, a place for packages, and a gracious welcome for guests.

Main-Level Living with Expansion Potential

The plan is organized for efficient living on a primarily single-level footprint, with expansion-ready space tucked beneath the roofline for storage or a future bonus. This gives you the ease of main-level living today and the flexibility to grow tomorrow without increasing the footprint.

Open-Concept Core

At the heart of the home is an open great room, dining, and kitchen. Sight lines run from front to back for natural cross-ventilation and uninterrupted conversations. The great room is proportioned for both a sectional and accent chairs, and a feature wall can host built-ins, a media center, or a fireplace if your climate calls for it. Large grouped windows pull daylight deep into the plan, reducing reliance on artificial lighting during daytime hours.

Kitchen Designed for Real Life

• Central island with seating for casual meals, homework, or party spreads.
• Walk-in pantry sized for bulk storage and small appliances.
• Logical work triangle and uninterrupted prep runs support efficient cooking.
• Easy service to the dining area and a view to the great room to keep everyone connected.

Bedrooms & Baths

This layout offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths with a clear separation between the primary suite and secondary rooms for privacy.

Owner’s Suite Retreat

• Spacious bedroom sized for a king bed, nightstands, and a reading chair.
• Walk-in closet with wall space for built-ins or a packing island.
• Owner’s bath with double vanities, a large shower, linen storage, and a private water closet. A soaking tub can be added depending on preference.

Secondary Bedroom Wing

• Two well-sized bedrooms with ample reach-in closets.
• A shared hall bath with a tub/shower combo for flexibility and value.
• Hall linen and nearby laundry keep day-to-day routines efficient.

Storage That Works

Smart storage is woven throughout: an entry closet for coats and bags, a walk-in pantry for kitchen overflow, generous bedroom closets, and expansion-ready space in the roofline for seasonal gear. The attached garage includes room for tools and trash bins, and a drop zone inside can host hooks, cubbies, and a bench to corral daily clutter.

Outdoor Living

The front porch is a bona fide room in nice weather—perfect for morning coffee or keeping an eye on the neighborhood. At the rear, add a patio or covered terrace for grilling and al fresco meals. The compact footprint leaves plenty of yard for play, gardens, or a future pool if your lot allows.

Light, Comfort & Performance

• Abundant glazing along the front and rear maximizes daylight and creates visual connection to the landscape.
• Balanced roof overhangs help shade summer sun while admitting winter light in many climates.
• Exterior materials—board-and-batten, lap siding, and stone—are durable, easy to maintain, and offer long-term value.
• Regions with snow or heavy rain benefit from the steep gable roof and straightforward detailing.

Why This Plan Feels “Modern”

Modern Farmhouse isn’t about rustic clichés; it’s about clarity and comfort. Clean trim, simple columns, and understated dormers avoid fussiness, while the material palette stays honest and textural.

Neighborhood Fit

The elevation’s stone base, board-and-batten gables, and lap-sided body harmonize in suburban neighborhoods, rural acreage, and small-town infill lots alike. The balanced front elevation with dormers nods to Cape Cod tradition, while black-and-white contrast keeps the composition fresh.

Interior Finish Ideas

• Flooring: Wide-plank engineered hardwood in living spaces; durable tile in baths and laundry.
• Cabinetry: Painted shaker doors with inset panels; natural wood accents on the island or range hood.
• Surfaces: Quartz countertops for low maintenance; butcher-block or stone slab for the island.
• Lighting: Black or brushed-brass fixtures echo exterior hardware and shutters.
• Color Palette: Soft whites and warm grays layered with natural wood and matte black accents.

Livability Highlights

• Open sight lines that keep conversations flowing from kitchen to great room.
• Split-bedroom layout for privacy between the owner’s suite and secondary bedrooms.
• Convenient laundry placed near bedrooms to shorten daily steps.
• Drop zone by the garage entry to manage shoes, backpacks, and deliveries.
