Barn House

Love the barn look? This unique design takes advantage of a large lot and sweeping views giving you a spacious layout all on one story. A bow window in the island kitchen frames a beautiful vista while you prepare tasty treats. Four bedrooms hold kids or visitors (or both) on the right while the master suite stretches out on the other side and includes a spa-like bathroom. This plan has 2 x 6 framing for the walls between the primary living area and the bedroom wings.

This stunning barndominium-style house plan has a barn-like exterior with board and batten siding, large windows, and barn doors. Just inside the side entry of the home, you'll find a practical office that is perfect for anyone who works from home. The great room, kitchen, and dining room flow seamlessly in a wide open layout. The high ceilings in the great room make the space feel massive. A fireplace warms the great room and is flanked by bult-in bookshelves. The kitchen includes a large island and a walk-in pantry. The master suite is situated on the right side of the home for privacy. The master bathroom includes a soaking tub, his/her vanities, an enclosed toilet, and a walk-in shower. The master closet has convenient access to the laundry room.  On the left side of the home, bedrooms 2 and 3 share a centrally located hall bathroom with the main living area. An amazing loft overlooks the great room. The home's large 3 car garage has a high cathedral ceiling and accesses the home through a mud room that includes a bench and lockers.

The design of this 3 bedroom 2.5 bath Farmhouse style floor plan is reminiscent of a dairy barn and employs traditional elements interpreted in a modern way. Details such as the board-and-batten siding and a recessed sheltered entry add charm and utility. A generous veranda/lanai wraps around the great room to allow for easy indoor-outdoor living.
