Rustic Farmhouse Living

Stone, siding and metal roofing over the front porch and garage dormer add a touch of the arts-n-crafts to a farmhouse style. Three columns create an inviting entrance, while a sidelight and transom enhance the front door and usher in natural light. Inside, a natural traffic flow follows a circular pattern. A bay window expands the breakfast nook, and a serving counter separates the kitchen from the great room. Built-in cabinetry lies on both sides of the fireplace, and French doors lead to the rear porch. Dividing the open, two-story foyer from the great room, a balcony leads to two secondary bedrooms and a large bonus room. The bonus room could even be transformed into a guest suite, or it could be divided to form two areas.
