This modern farmhouse embraces outdoor living. Porches stretching around three sides of the home provide abundant room for swings, while a balcony connects to both upstairs bedrooms. A wall of sliding doors opens the great room for seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with more sliding doors to the dining room making it easy to step out after a meal. Inside, contemporary details fill the home with flexibility for a variety of modern living situations. For example, the guest bedroom on the main level connects to a bathroom with a large shower, making this suite comfortable for an elderly relative. For people who work from home, the study features bright corner windows. Upstairs, the master suite displays a spacious bedroom and a bathroom with a separate tub, large shower, and two sinks. Abundant windows — even one in the closet — bring the sunshine inside.
