About Modern Farmhouse Homes
Modern farmhouse takes the farmhouse form and updates it: crisp board-and-batten siding, black window frames, a metal roof and an open interior with big windows.
It suits new subdivisions and acreage alike, and it pairs well with outdoor living spaces and covered porches.
