1 & 2 Story Floor Plans (2024)

A recent survey found the Modern Farmhouse was the favorite house style, and it’s no wonder! Modern Farmhouse house plans are known for their warmth and simplicity: They are welcoming and cozy with a dash of clean, contemporary design.

The exterior is usually rectangular in shape, with large windows that brighten the home and a covered, wrap-around porch—sometimes with modern-looking barn lights. Inside, expect the unexpected because materials used in outdoor construction, like shiplap and exposed brick, adorn these homes’ interiors.

Like its traditional farmhouse predecessor, the modern farmhouse floor plan exudes warmth and comfort that make you want to come home and stay awhile.

Large, covered porches evoke classic farmhouse design.

Spacious covered porches are a staple of modern farmhouse house plans. These relaxing, welcoming spaces often wrap around the house and are wide enough to accommodate porch swings, rocking chairs, tables, and lots of loved ones, pets, and friends. After all, farmhouse living of yesteryear often took place outside, and big porches were an informal gathering place for visitors and homeowners alike.

That hasn’t changed.

If this staple were one of the must-have features that pulled you into this style of home, you would be delighted to find most of our modern farmhouse plans have a variety of large, covered designs. However, not all plans in this collection include a large porch, many feature a covered deck or no porch. They are reiterating how this house style breaks the confines of tradition and allows personal preference to guide the way, given that this house style is designed to fit a variety of lots in any neighborhood or country setting.

Spacious kitchens are a staple of modern farmhouse design

Kitchens in these plans are usually large, open, and easy to move through. They nodded to the past when much of the meal came from the land, and the cooking was almost continual. Today, the cook in the house probably doesn’t need the space to churn butter or sew clothing but does want plenty of room to cook while surrounded by family and friends.

Many of these plans often feature large center islands, wooden countertops, and open shelves. In addition, sight lines are open to other rooms in the house and offer great window views.

Modern farmhouse house plans are versatile.

Big or small? A family’s size and budget often dictate the size of a home and preference regarding how much or little space they want to decorate, maintain, and live in. Search online through our plans that cover a wide range—from the cozier 1,000 square-foot small modern farmhouse plans to the more sizable plan that tops 5,000 square feet. If 2,500 or 3,000 square feet is your size of choice, we have those, too, and are constantly refreshing our site by adding new plans every week.

Whether you’re in the market for modern farmhouse 1-story house plans, one-and-a-half story, or two-story plans, we offer a wide range of floor plans conducive to your lifestyle, budget, and preference. So, for example, you can find a sprawling ranch with a traditional layout or a two-story home with an open floor plan—and vice versa.

A basem*nt is a great way to maximize the use of available land and a relatively affordable way to increase the value and size of a family home. People either want them or they don’t, and the size of a family often dictates the need for a basem*nt. They are beneficial for families housing more than one generation, those with teenagers who want a semi-private place to hang out with their friends, and are a great place to store seasonal or other items. We offer many modern farmhouse house plans with basem*nt options, and if the plan you like doesn’t already have a basem*nt, it can be modified to add one.

This growing collection offers the feel of casual, uncomplicated living—regardless of the plan’s size. So look no further if you’re searching for a plan with oodles of charm and a nod to a time gone by. We have a perfect plan for you; if you can’t find it, call us!
