Hey there, friend! Today we’re diving into the details of an ultra‑charm modern farmhouse plan—3 bedrooms, a flexible home‑office/bonus room (aka the “flex room”), and roughly 2,100 sq ft of living space. It’s one of those layouts that’s equally cozy and open, perfect for families, work‑from‑home life, or even hosting guests.
This plan is a single‑story home with beautiful curb appeal thanks to board‑and‑batten siding, stone accents, exposed rafter tails, and a metal roof. There’s something just timeless about modern farmhouse exteriors—it feels fresh and rustic in one package. The house is designed for a walk‑out foundation, making it a great fit for sloping or lakeside lots.
Layout & Living Spaces
From the covered front porch you step into a vaulted entry that opens to the living room—big and welcoming, about 23 × 18 ft, with a flat or vaulted ceiling depending on your foundation option.
That flows into a kitchen with a huge center island and a butler’s‑pantry style walk‑in pantry right next door. This setup is ideal for casual meals, entertaining, or hosting holiday cooking marathons.
Located on one side are two secondary bedrooms, each around 9×10 ft, sharing a full bath. Opposite that is the master suite—generous sized, with his-and‑hers closets and a full ensuite bath. Just off the entryway is the flex room, roughly 11×9 ft, perfect as an office, nursery, hobby room, or extra guest space.
Utility-wise, the laundry room sits near the bedrooms and garage entrance, making daily routines a breeze. There’s a spacious two‑car garage attached, accessible via a short mudroom hallway.
Outdoor Spaces That Shine
A huge covered rear deck spans about 56 ft wide and up to 23 ft deep—a terrific outdoor living space for grilling, enjoying morning coffee, or sunset entertaining.
The front porch stretches full width too, giving great front porch vibes. With foundation choices including walkout, slab, or crawl, this plan is adaptable to many site types.

Based on national U.S. averages for a mid‑housing‑cost region as of 2025, here are ballpark figures:
- Construction hard cost: ~$150 to $200 per sq ft → $315,000–$420,000 for the 2,100 sq ft main level
- Site work and foundation (walk‑out or slab): add ~$30,000–$60,000
- Porches and decks: ~$40/sq ft → ~800 sq ft of covered space ≈ $32,000
- Total estimated build: $380K to $500K before upgrades or site‑specific costs
Note: Costs vary widely depending on finish levels, region, lot work, permitting, and custom upgrades.

If you’re after more things, builders that sell the plan often offer personalization options—want a screened porch instead of open deck? Need an extra bathroom or swap the flex room for a formal dining area? You can do that. You can also choose different foundation types or reverse the layout to better suit your lot orientation.
