It's all about a clever use of space with these attractive entry-level homes. Modern and farmhouse styles (including, of course, modern farmhouse style) work quite well in a scaled-down format, losing none of its clean lines or timeless charm. And inside these designs, buyers will be surprised at some of the modern amenities like large showers and spacious kitchens (not so common on the existing home market!).
This 2,073-square-foot design gives buyers the option to expand in the future, with a versatile fourth bedroom and bonus room available upstairs. Meanwhile, most of the living spaces are located on the main level for ease of getting around. The mudroom includes a separate entrance to outside, so it's easy to take pets on a walk. Everyone can gather in the vaulted family room or at the island in the nearby open kitchen. On nice days, it’s easy to step out to the back porches (with room for dining alfresco). Check out the large shower, separate tub, and double sinks in the surprisingly upscale master suite. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
It's popular for a reason. This 1,905-square-foot farmhouse showcases simple yet bold curb appeal and a one-story layout that would work well for many different buyers. A split-bedroom layout grants privacy to the master suite, which also boasts two walk-in closet and a five-piece bathroom. Now here's a good idea: the pantry can be accessed from both the kitchen and the mudroom, making it easy to put away groceries upon coming home and accessing them later on while cooking.

Now here's one that's on the simpler, sleeker end of the spectrum. With 1,356 square feet, this plan fits a modest budget but still offers a modern open layout and a private master suite (with double sinks, a large shower, and more!) for owners. A large island in the kitchen overlooks the other gathering spaces and works as a casual meal spot. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
Standout Style for a Narrow Lot
Bringing classic charm to a tight lot, this farmhouse measures just 34’10” wide. But all three bedrooms inside display generous dimensions, especially the elegant master suite on the first floor. It opens to the back porch via French doors and also invites owners to relax in the five-piece bathroom. A fireplace warms the great room for cozy charm. Just steps away and totally open to it, the kitchen includes a breakfast bar. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
