Welcome to Sunrise Farm, a picturesque country cottage style house plan with farmhouse inspiration. Nestled in a serene setting, this charming 2-story home spans 2397 square feet and offers a thoughtful blend of elegance and comfort, designed to cater to modern living while preserving a touch of rustic charm.
As you approach the house, the exterior's lap siding, complemented by classic window shutters, exudes a timeless appeal. The steps lead up to a covered front porch, where white railings and sturdy pillars invite you to pause and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Enter through the front door into the foyer, and you are immediately greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
To your left, past a pair of decorative columns, lies the living room. This space is ideal for intimate gatherings or simply unwinding with a good book. The large windows fill the room with natural light, enhancing its cozy ambiance. Beyond the living room, the formal dining room awaits, perfect for hosting dinner parties or family celebrations. Its proximity to the living room allows for easy flow and interaction, making entertaining a breeze.
Straight ahead from the foyer, you enter the heart of the home – the family room. Here, a fireplace adds a focal point and warmth, creating a comfortable environment for relaxation. Cleverly designed storage under the stairs ensures that the room remains uncluttered and tidy. Adjacent to the family room is the breakfast area, where a charming bay window provides a sunny spot for morning meals while offering a delightful view of the backyard.
The kitchen, designed with both style and functionality in mind, features a peninsula that doubles as a casual dining space. The wall pantry offers ample storage for all your culinary essentials. The seamless transition from the breakfast area to the kitchen makes this space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
On the opposite side of the house, a hallway leads to the master suite, a tranquil retreat designed for privacy and comfort. The spacious walk-in closet ensures ample storage space, while the ensuite bathroom offers a luxurious whirlpool tub, a separate shower, a dual sink vanity, and a private toilet, creating a spa-like experience right at home.
Further down the hall, you’ll find a convenient powder room for guests and the utility room, which connects the house to the 2-car garage. The garage, with its additional storage space, ensures that all your belongings have a place, keeping the rest of the house organized and clutter-free.
Ascending the stairs, you arrive at a loft area that overlooks both the breakfast nook and the family room below. The handrail and planter shelf add to the open and airy feel of the space. This versatile area can serve as a home office, a reading nook, or a play area for children.
The second level houses two additional bedrooms, each offering a comfortable and private space. These bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom, making the morning routine efficient and convenient. The larger of the two bedrooms boasts a walk-in closet, providing plenty of storage for clothing and personal items.
At the end of the hall, a bonus room awaits, ready to be transformed into a future recreation room, adding an additional 287 square feet of living space. This flexible area can be customized to suit your family's needs, whether as a game room, a home gym, or an additional bedroom.
The back of the house opens up to a large deck, accessible from the family room. This outdoor space is perfect for barbecues, alfresco dining, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature. It provides a seamless extension of the indoor living areas, enhancing the overall functionality and enjoyment of the home.
Sunrise Farm is more than just a house; it’s a home designed with care and attention to detail. Its country cottage style, combined with farmhouse inspiration, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect sanctuary for families seeking comfort, style, and a touch of rustic elegance.
As a boy growing up in town, I would visit my relatives on their farm every summer. Hanging upside down from the branches of a plum tree in the backyard, I would savor the aroma of fried chicken and homemade biscuits wafting out of the kitchen while hearing voices in the background from "Fibber McGee and Molly" and "Stella Dallas" as my Aunt Clara listened to her favorite radio programs. Uncle Frank and I would have tended the horses and finished the chores by the time I found myself in the tree, contemplating the inevitability of the end of summer and going home from Sunrise Farm.
