From award-winning designer Michael E. Nelson comes a stunning addition to our Farmhouse House Collection. For those interested in a farmhouse inspired home with strong traditional home elements, Hillside Farms is right up your alley. With 1680 sq.ft. making up 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this 2-story farmhouse style home is perfect for growing families.

Cozy Covered Porch Entrance

Hillside Farms boasts charming curb appeal, its exterior with crisp white-board siding and cool gray shutters. Before entering the home, you land on a 21-foot covered porch with railing. This area is ideal for relaxing mornings and evenings welcoming invited loved ones. An abundance of windows allows plenty of natural lighting and provides an excellent view of this area. The covered porch also allows for hanging plants and even a comfortable bench to enjoy each day.

First Floor Master Suite

Upon entry to Hillside Farms, the Foyer leads into the Master Suite on your right. This marvelously spacious Master Suite features a connected full bath with dual vanity sinks, a free-standing tub, and an enclosed shower. This large bathroom gives access to the walk-in master closet. Placed under the stairs, the sloping ceiling of the closet gives a unique architectural shape to the typically ignored room.

Open Floor Plan

Back in the Foyer, turning left takes you into the open floor plan of Hillside Farms, which incorporates the Great Room, Kitchen, and Breakfast Nook into one large space. The Great Room features a large optional fireplace with an exceptional view into the Kitchen area. This flowing open plan is ideal for parties, family holidays, and entertaining company! The Kitchen features a high low bar with seating for four. A center island not only provides wonderful additional counterspace for cook prep, but also acts to give your Great Room and Kitchen a slight divide.

From the Kitchen, the plan flows into a charming Breakfast Nook. Early morning relaxation never looked so good! The Nook looks out onto the Grilling Porch at the back of the home with a convenient entry there. Outdoor grilling is made easy with this open floor plan.

Formal Dining Space

Moving to the right of the Nook leads to the formal Dining Room and laundry/storage space. Formal dining spaces are great ways to encourage family time and socialization. This large Dining Room looks out to the right side of Hillside Farms, providing plenty of natural lighting and room for a large table and seating. With easy access just off the Kitchen and Nook, your family and guests can appreciate the wonderful aroma of treats and meals while seated happily together.

A Personal Laundry Space

Exiting the Nook or formal Dining Room leads down a brief hallway opposite the staircase. This hall takes you to the entries to the rear loading garage and Laundry Room. A kids’ nook or hobby space is waiting for your planned activities here, too! The cozy Laundry Room provides ample space to include a front- or top-loading washer and dryer set with shelving space above.

Garage Storage

The rear of Hillside Farms holds the garage and storage room. This 2-car garage allows for easy exit and entry from the home after a long day. Its location nestled next the Laundry Room makes dropping dirty uniforms or sports clothes into the wash a breeze before carrying on with the fun of the evening.

Bedrooms Above

Following the stairs above, you will find Bedrooms 2 and 3. Atop the stairs, the landing opens into a lovely Loft space with a cozy window seat to take advantage of the view. The left side of Hillside Farms houses Bedroom 2. With a side and front window providing natural light, this spacious bedroom features a step-in closet.

The right side of the plan leads to Bedroom 3, with a personal step-in closet for storage and lovely view of the front property. The upper floor includes a linen closet perfect for spare bedding and bathroom necessities. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a bathroom with dual sinks and a tub/shower combo.
