Farmhouse House Plans
As a nation that relies on farming, the indistinguishable Farmhouse is an American favorite. A contemporary version of Colonial homes, Farmhouses are simply framed and usually rectangular in shape. The primary feature that always stands out with this design is the covered wrap-around porch, which beckons people to sit back and relax, generation after generation. Most Farmhouse-style homes are two-stories with all the bedrooms on the second floor. A steep gable roof leads into a more shallow covering for the porch to create extra shade. These homes can very easily take on Victorian style elements by adding details on the porch overhangs and railings, or by adding a significant bay window on the side. With its old-fashioned country appeal, the Farmhouse continues to be a popular choice for any setting. |
