Elegant Country Farmhouse Plan with 4 Bedrooms, Fireplace & Open Living – 1,779 Sq Ft

This elegant country farmhouse plan combines timeless rural-inspired architecture with the openness and practicality of modern family living. Offering 1,779 square feet of heated living space and a total structure size of 2,187 square feet, the home delivers a carefully balanced arrangement of gathering spaces, private retreats, and outdoor living areas designed to support both everyday comfort and relaxed entertaining.

The exterior composition reflects the enduring charm associated with classic farmhouse design through its welcoming porch spaces, balanced rooflines, and approachable residential proportions. Measuring 52 feet 4 inches wide by 52 feet deep, the home presents a broad and symmetrical profile that adapts naturally to suburban, rural, or countryside settings. The combination of 8:12 and 3:12 roof pitches introduces architectural depth while maintaining the simplicity and understated character that define farmhouse-inspired homes.

A spacious covered front porch establishes an inviting entry experience and reinforces the farmhouse tradition of blending indoor comfort with outdoor living. This welcoming outdoor space creates a natural gathering area for relaxation, conversation, or seasonal enjoyment while contributing significantly to the home’s curb appeal. At the rear, an additional covered porch extends the living environment outdoors and provides a more private setting for dining, entertaining, or quiet retreat.

Inside, the home is organized around a modern open-concept floor plan that encourages natural flow and visual connection between the primary living spaces. Nine-foot ceilings throughout the first floor enhance the sense of openness and allow abundant natural light to circulate freely across the interior.

The great room serves as the central gathering area within the home, anchored by a fireplace that introduces warmth, comfort, and architectural focus. Positioned at the heart of the layout, the great room supports both daily family interaction and entertaining while maintaining seamless connection to the kitchen and dining spaces.

The kitchen is designed as both a practical workspace and social centerpiece. A generously sized kitchen island provides additional preparation space, casual seating, and direct interaction with surrounding living areas. The adjacent eating bar enhances informal dining opportunities, while the nearby wall pantry contributes valuable storage and organization within the efficient kitchen layout.

For more formal occasions, the dedicated dining room offers a refined setting for family meals, holiday gatherings, and entertaining. The dining area introduces architectural structure to the open floor plan while preserving accessibility and visual continuity throughout the home.

The first-floor master suite is carefully positioned to provide privacy and convenience within the single-level arrangement. Designed as a comfortable retreat, the suite includes a walk-in closet and a private master bathroom featuring dual vanity sinks. The thoughtful placement of the suite allows separation from secondary bedrooms while maintaining efficient access to the home’s central living spaces.

Three additional bedrooms and two secondary bathrooms provide flexibility for larger families, guests, or changing household needs. The balanced arrangement of bedrooms supports privacy and functionality while maintaining practical circulation throughout the home.

A dedicated first-floor laundry area further enhances daily convenience and contributes to the home’s efficient single-level design. Practical utility considerations are integrated throughout the layout to support organized and comfortable everyday living.

Built on a slab foundation with durable 2x4 wall framing and traditional stick roof framing, the home emphasizes straightforward construction methods, long-term durability, and low-maintenance ownership. The moderate building height of 21 feet preserves the approachable scale commonly associated with country farmhouse architecture while supporting the spacious interior environment.

This country farmhouse plan successfully combines classic residential warmth with contemporary open living concepts and highly functional design features. Through its inviting porch spaces, fireplace-centered gathering areas, efficient floor plan, and carefully arranged private suites, the home delivers timeless farmhouse appeal tailored for modern family living.

Review image
JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. This home has outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us. I work from home so having the home office off the foyer is fantastic. I converted the wet bar into a storage closet for my office. We also extended the laundry room into the porch and created a multipurpose laundry/mud room. I would buy from archival designs again and again.

It took almost a year to pick a plan. Since my husband and I retired a few years ago we wanted this last house had to have everything we wanted and needed. The kitchen is my favorite part of the house. I can see what’s happening in my neighborhood through my kitchen window and watch my husband garden in the back yard. Our children think we made a smart decision when we picked this house for our senior years.

We’ve had an amazing experience with our new home and are excited to be moved in. The customer service we received during our modifications was exceptional. We are loving the open layout of the kitchen and family room. It feels spacious and I’m already planning on hosting holiday dinners at home. We recommend Archival Designs to anyone interested in building the home they’ve always wanted!

We absolutely adore the Kildare Place house plan. Made some modifications to make this home ours! Our house is the talk of the neighborhood. We host big parties every holiday and still get compliments from our friends and family. We searched for months and looked through hundreds of floor plans and this one had almost everything we wanted, and with the help of the great staff at Archival Designs we got exactly what we wanted!

FAQ

Can I modify this Elegant Country Farmhouse Plan with 4 Bedrooms, Fireplace & Open Living – 1,779 Sq Ft now or later?

Absolutely. We offer in-house modification services to adjust layouts, room sizes, or expand garages before purchase. If you prefer to make adjustments during the construction phase, purchasing the CAD file package allows your local builder or architect to make on-site changes. Simply click 'Request a Modification' for a free quote.

How much will it cost to build this Elegant Country Farmhouse Plan with 4 Bedrooms, Fireplace & Open Living – 1,779 Sq Ft and why aren't exact costs shown? 

Construction costs vary significantly ($150–$300+ per sq. ft.) based on your location, material choices, and local labor rates. Because site preparation and regional codes differ, it is hard to provide a universal cost always.

Will this Elegant Country Farmhouse Plan with 4 Bedrooms, Fireplace & Open Living – 1,779 Sq Ft fit my lot, and can I add a basement or flip the layout?

You can check the 'Modifications' tab for width and depth requirements. To fit your site's orientation, most plans are available in a 'Right Reading Reverse' (mirrored) format. We also offer slab, crawlspace, and basement foundation adjustments for every design.

Do your plans meet building codes in my area and do I need a professional stamp?

Our plans meet or exceed national IRC (International Residential Code) standards. However, due to varying local requirements regarding seismic, wind (hurricane), or snow loads, house plans do not come with a professional architect’s or engineer’s seal. Most municipalities require a review and stamp by a local licensed professional to obtain a building permit.

Are plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical drawings included?

We provide the architectural and schematic electrical framework, but HVAC and plumbing layouts are not included. Because local codes and climate-specific systems vary significantly across the country, these are best finalized by your local subcontractors to ensure your home’s systems are optimized for your specific site and energy requirements.

Why should I choose Archival Designs and are the plans guaranteed?

With over 40 years of experience, Archival Designs provides high-quality, builder-ready designs that balance aesthetic elegance with structural integrity. We offer a Best Price Guarantee, a 10% discount for military and first responders, as well as builder discounts for life. And loyalty perks for pro builders. All plans are designed to comply with the IRC codes at the time of their creation. Learn more about our Best Price Guarantee.
