Modern Farmhouse with Vaulted Ceilings
Plan 48-1032
Here's a cool house plan with modern farmhouse style and a modest footprint. The open floor plan makes everything feel spacious and contemporary, with the kitchen island overlooking the vaulted living room. Don't miss the luxurious bathroom in your private master suite. When it's time to relax, hang out on the rear porch just off the dining space.
Small Farmhouse Plan with Island Kitchen
Plan 430-177
This quaint farmhouse design features a small footprint and an efficient use of space. Large windows provide tons of natural light, while 19-foot ceilings in the living room open to an upstairs loft (accessible by a ladder) – making the space open and airy. The island kitchen conveniently opens to the living room for an uncomplicated flow between spaces.
A bedroom on the main level features a walk-in closet and bathroom (with a spacious wet room). Upstairs, a loft adds more living space and could work great as an extra bedroom, home office, or playroom. Unwind on the covered rear porch after a long day – you may never leave!

House Design with Versatile Layout
Plan 929-1055
This small farmhouse plan presents a versatile layout that will work well for buyers in many stages: a couple just starting out, an older buyer paring down and simplifying, or a family who wants a chic and affordable home. Modern farmhouse styling feels fresh and on-trend.
Inside, the open floor plan invites relaxed living. A study near the front can easily serve as a third bedroom, especially since it boasts another entrance to the hallway. The master suite includes two sinks, a big shower, separate tub, walk-in closet, and easy access to the laundry room. A bonus room upstairs can be finished now or later.

Who needs much more than a great room and a big kitchen? This small farmhouse plan keeps it extremely simple, but that doesn’t mean a lack of “wow” moments.

Efficient Modern Farmhouse Design
Plan 430-180
Enjoy a taste of Southern living in this efficiently designed modern farmhouse. Living is made easy with a layout that is simple and smart.
A large island kitchen flows seamlessly into the vaulted living room (that opens to the second floor loft) where friends and family can warm up next to the cozy fireplace. Tucked away on the first floor, the master bedroom enjoys extra privacy (and aging in place). Upstairs, a loft provides comfortable living space between the two bedrooms.
Sleek House Design with Farmhouse Style
Plan 48-992
Fresh, open, and full of great ideas: that's this 1,797-square-foot house plan in a nutshell. For example, check out the mudroom area on the way in from the garage; here, you'll find all kinds of smart storage areas, including a walk-in pantry that's easy to access from the island kitchen.
The master suite's walk-in closet opens directly to the laundry room to make everyday life a little easier. Sleek farmhouse styling on the exterior will make this home stand out in a good way.
Small House Plan with Wrap Around Porch
Plan 47-943
This lovely small house plan has plenty of farmhouse flavor with a wrap around porch, bay window, and a side-entry garage that preserves curb appeal. The harmonious exterior is joined by an elegant, versatile interior. Formal living and dining rooms sit to the right, full of elegance with bay windows, a fireplace, and graceful columns.
A fireplace warms the family room, which opens to the rear porch through French doors. Second-floor sleeping quarters include the master suite with a soaking tub, separate shower, and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms use the full hall bath. Nearby, a huge bonus room (with skylights) adds flexible space that can become almost anything.
Narrow-Lot Farmhouse Design
Plan 929-333
This three-bedroom narrow-lot home offers some of the extras usually reserved for wider lots, such as a wraparound porch and a two-car garage. A vaulted ceiling adds volume to the great room, while columns and a bay window add distinction to the dining room.
The kitchen is designed for efficiency and offers access to the side porch and rear deck for outdoor dining options. Homeowners will enjoy the private master suite that sits behind the two-car garage to shield it from noise. Two family bedrooms, a full bath, and the bonus room reside upstairs, while a large bonus room can be adapted to serve additional family needs.
