Home plan: Country curb appeal meets a modern layout

This modern farmhouse design features vertical siding, a metal roof awning and a charming dormer. The covered porches in front and back encourage outdoor lounging and include an outdoor summer kitchen. Inside, the great room features a vaulted ceiling and openness to the island kitchen. A prep sink is for chopping while guests sit in the eating area. The split-bedroom layout lends plenty of privacy to the deluxe master suite. The bonus space upstairs allows room for expansion.
