From award-winning designer Michael E. Nelson comes a stunning addition to our Farmhouse House Collection. Serenity Farms puts a modern spin on the classic farmhouse, from its white-and-black contrasts to the sloping roof over the 3-car garage and Shop. With almost 3500 sq.ft. of living space consisting of 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths, this plan also houses a 1289 sq.ft. In-Laws Suite (included in the total living space), proving that Serenity Farms is perfect for the whole family!

Classic Farmhouse Curb Appeal

The exterior of Serenity Farms is the epitome of the classic farmhouse look. A wrap-around front covered porch first welcomes guests onto the property, and a tall stone chimney adds warmth to this stunning curb appeal. Three gable dormers sit atop the metal roof and beckon you inside to experience the cozy interior.

Open Floor Plan

Entering Serenity Farms, you are greeted by the staircase leading to the upper level, as well as the spacious Great Room surrounding a 3-foot gas fireplace. Front-facing windows allow for plenty of natural lighting for your gathering, as well as a great view of the front yard.

Continuing into the open floor plan at the rear of the home, you will find the Kitchen and Dining space, separated merely by a large center island with seating for 4, as well as a sink and dishwasher. Meal prep has never been easier! A corner walk-in pantry allows for additional storage space for all the essentials, and windows on all sides of the Dining area gives natural light to your meals and a nice view of the front Covered Porch and rear Grilling Porch.

Master Suite

Upon entry to Serenity Farms, take an immediate right to reach your private Master Suite. Inside, a 9-foot boxed ceiling pairs with an 8-foot dropped ceiling to create an elegant ambiance in the master bedroom. Continuing toward the rear of the home plan, you will find spacious his and her walk-in closets flanking your entry to the Master Bath. Stylish French doors lead you into this relaxing oasis, where a dual sink vanity and huge walk-in shower with a bench and rain head await!

Split Bedroom Design

Back in the Kitchen, you will find additional spaces at the very rear of the home plan. First, a home Office is located adjacent to the Grilling Porch and features ample storage space within a step-in closet. To the right is Bedroom 2, which also holds a step-in closet and leaves lots of room for a child or teen to personalize their space. Across the hall is a full bath, and beside Bedroom 2, you will find a large Craft Room, perfect for those projects you’ve always wanted to start on.

At the very end of this hallway, you will find the spacious Laundry Room, which features “loads” of counterspace and a soaking sink for those unrelenting stains! The Laundry Room also serves as entry to the In-Laws Suite, as well as the Mudroom.

Mudroom Entry

Entering the Mudroom, you will find a large storage closet for quickly donning winter coats and a bench with hanging storage so that backpacks and shoes are easily accessible during morning rushes! The Mudroom then allows you to access the 3-car garage.

In-Laws Suite

On the right side of the Laundry Room, you can access the In-Laws Suite of Serenity Farms. This suite houses its own Kitchen, with tons of counterspace and an eat-at bar counter with seating for 6! This bar counter opens the Kitchen to the large Great Room, which lies below a 10-foot boxed ceiling and accesses the garage, Shop, and 8-foot Screened Porch.

Bedroom 3 is accessible from the In-Laws Suite Kitchen and also boasts a 10-foot boxed ceiling. A large walk-in closet will hold all the wardrobe favorites, and the en-suite bathroom allows for private relaxation in the walk-in shower. From the Great Room, you can access the second Laundry Room, as well as a hallway leading way to another full bath and Bedroom 4, which looks out onto the Screened Porch.

4 Garage Bays!

Serenity Farms gives you all the storage you could ever dream of, with 4 garage bays! The garage also has a hatch to the attic for additional storage, and a designated storage closet. You can also find a Safe Room here, contributing to your peace of mind during storm seasons. The 4^th garage bay is at the far right of the home plan and opens to a large Shop. Your wife will love this, as it keeps all those messy projects separated from the clean home!

Proposed Game Room

Taking the stairs to the upper level, you will find yourself in a huge Proposed Game Room! This is the perfect place to entertain guests, or to send the kids during large gatherings. A half bath makes this space suitable for any purpose.
