Modern Farmhouse

This renovation project carefully modernized an original 1950s farmhouse, retaining its charming character while adapting it to meet the demands of contemporary living. By expanding the footprint, reworking the internal layout, and incorporating modern farmhouse design elements, the home now offers a seamless blend of nostalgic appeal and modern convenience.

Key Features of the Redesign:

• ​Preserving Original Charm: Signature details from the original farmhouse, such as exposed beams, vintage trim, and the classic gabled roofline, were thoughtfully restored or replicated to maintain the home’s authentic character.
• Expanded Footprint: A new addition includes a spacious master suite with a walk-in closet and a serene en-suite bathroom. The addition seamlessly integrates with the existing structure, respecting its historic aesthetic while enhancing functionality.
• Improved Layout: The floor plan was reconfigured to improve flow and usability. A more open concept in the main living areas allows for better connectivity, while maintaining defined spaces that reflect the home’s traditional farmhouse roots.
• Higher Ceilings and Natural Light: Low ceilings were raised where possible, and new, larger windows were installed to flood the home with natural light. Skylights and transoms further brighten the interiors, creating an airy, welcoming atmosphere.
• Modern Farmhouse Finishes: A mix of classic and contemporary materials, including wide-plank wood flooring, shiplap walls, black metal accents, and matte white surfaces, brings a fresh, modern twist to the farmhouse style.
• Low-Maintenance Design: Durable finishes like quartz countertops, porcelain tiles, and weather-resistant materials ensure the home is easy to care for while retaining its timeless beauty.
• Functional Updates: Modern systems, including energy-efficient HVAC, upgraded plumbing, and smart home technology, were seamlessly integrated without detracting from the home’s vintage charm.
• Enhanced Outdoor Connection: The redesign capitalized on the property’s rural setting with large sliding doors that open onto a new wraparound porch, perfect for enjoying views of the surrounding farmland.
