This ultra-popular plan also reigned in 2020. Why does everyone love it? Take a look through the photos to see for yourself. Maybe it's something about the ease and contemporary feeling of the one-story layout with 2,373 square feet. Perhaps it's the flexible fourth bedroom, which could easily serve as an office. And don't miss the generous storage throughout the home. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Wraparound Porch Creates a Warm Welcome

Here's a 2,290-square-foot design with impressive indoor-outdoor living. The large porch in front welcomes guests, while the back porch can feature a kitchen to create an outdoor oasis. Another nice detail: the primary suite's huge closet opens directly to the laundry room for convenience. For clients who want more room, finish the bonus space upstairs. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Luxurious Modern Farmhouse Plan

With 2,743 square feet, this plan is a bit larger than the typical bestseller. Highlights include the pocket office, pool bath, and loft. Families will appreciate the hardworking mudroom area with lockers and a separate entrance, making it easy to head out for a walk. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Craftsman Farmhouse Curb Appeal

An office near the front creates a work-from-home zone for your clients, with the spacious porch just a few steps away when it's time for a break. In the primary suite, a freestanding tub and separate shower give a spa-like vibe. The kitchen's large pantry is ready for holiday groceries. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Indoor-Outdoor Flow

Multiple sets of French doors create connections with the outdoors in this rustic design. The study at the front will appeal to telecommuters, while an ultra-spacious bonus room upstairs can be finished to add more flexibility. The open dining space next to the island kitchen feels modern and relaxed. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

It's all about the eye-catching details in this farmhouse, like barn doors leading into the office. Four bedrooms are easy to reach on one level, with the primary suite set apart from the others for extra privacy. The powder bath opens to the back porch as well as the hall.
