Farmhouse Plans

Farmhouse Plans

Farmhouse plans are as varied as the regional farms they once presided over. Farmhouse styles bring to mind an old-fashioned sense of home and family gathered in the open kitchen and living room. Wood-frame construction and finishes provide a homey feel to Farmhouse home designs, allowing the house to fit into settings nationwide. Farmhouse floor plans are usually square or symmetrically shaped, sometimes with side wings. Farmhouse designs include deep and wide wrap-around front porches with spindlework and brackets. The typical large Farmhouse footprint makes the country style home plan well suited for large lots, although examples of farmhouse style design can be found in most regions of the country. The farmhouse plan is now used in urban areas as well, and is ideal for homeowners who would like to experience the informal country lifestyle.
