Country farmhouse design with a wrap-around front porch

An exciting mixture of styles, this home blends the wrap-around porch of a country farmhouse with a brick and siding exterior, creating a unique and pleasing effect. In this house plan, the great room shares its cathedral ceiling with a distinctly open and unusual kitchen. With a generous U-shaped serving bar, the kitchen features room for many. Adding even more architectural interest, the dining room is octagonal shaped and is complemented by a splendid tray ceiling. Built-ins flank the great room's fireplace for added convenience. This home plan's master suite is complete with a tray ceiling, arched picture window, back-porch access, private bath and sizable walk-in closet. Another full bath with linen closet is shared by two bedrooms and a bedroom/study that shines with a Palladian window and a graceful tray ceiling.
