COOL Plan Description
Modern Farmhouse Plan 81205 with 3 Bedrooms, Vaulted Great Room, Bonus Room and Outdoor Kitchen
House Plan 81205 is a stellar Modern Farmhouse that blends New American style with the comfort and flexibility today's homeowners want most. Offering 1,878 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, an attached 2-car garage, and an optional 308-square-foot bonus room, this thoughtfully designed one-story home delivers open living, beautiful architecture, and outstanding indoor-outdoor entertaining. From its vaulted ceilings to its covered porch with grilling station, every detail is designed for comfortable family living.
The exterior creates unforgettable curb appeal with classic gables, board and batten siding, warm wood accents, a striking metal roof, and contrasting dark windows. The inviting front porch adds farmhouse character while giving the home a fresh, modern personality that feels equally at home in the country or the suburbs.
Inside, the open floor plan centers around a dramatic vaulted great room where a beautiful fireplace creates the perfect gathering place. Natural light pours through generous windows while the connected living, dining, and kitchen areas allow family and guests to stay together whether entertaining or enjoying a quiet evening at home.
The kitchen is designed for both everyday convenience and weekend entertaining. A large island provides seating and generous prep space while incorporating the sink and dishwasher for maximum efficiency. Just outside, the covered porch features a built-in grilling station, making outdoor meals and backyard gatherings a natural extension of the home's living space.
The owner's suite becomes a relaxing retreat with its vaulted ceiling, spacious bedroom, luxurious bath, dual vanities, soaking tub, separate shower, private toilet room, and oversized walk-in closet. It's a comfortable escape designed for everyday luxury.
Two secondary bedrooms are positioned toward the front of the home and share a nearby full bathroom, making them perfect for children, overnight guests, or flexible workspace. Their nearly identical size creates a balanced layout that families will appreciate.
The front-entry 2-car garage includes extra storage and workshop space behind one bay, providing room for tools, hobbies, or recreational equipment. Above the garage, the optional 308-square-foot bonus room offers endless possibilities as a guest suite, media room, home gym, office, or fourth bedroom whenever additional space is needed.
House Plan 81205 delivers a righteous combination of modern farmhouse style, flexible living, vaulted spaces, and exceptional outdoor entertaining. With timeless architecture, practical features, and room to grow, this home is ready to serve families for years to come.
Basement
: $500.00
May require additional drawing time, please call to confirm before ordering.
Total Living Area may increase with Basement Foundation option.
Exterior Elevations
In addition to the front exterior, your drawing set will include drawings of the rear and sides of your house as well. These drawings give notes on exterior materials and finishes. Particular attention is given to cornice detail, brick and stone accents, or other finish items that make your home unique.
Note: Sections and Elevations depict the default foundation, regardless of optional foundation page choices
Foundation Plan
The foundation page dimensions, concrete walls, footings, pads, posts, beams, bearing walls, and any stepped foundation information along with any retaining wall info (schematic only). A typical wall section for the home is also usually included on this page (if not, it is elsewhere in your plan set, as space allows). If your plan features a poured concrete slab rather than a basement or crawlspace, the foundation page shows footings and details for the slab, and includes plumbing locations.
Floor Plan(s)
Exterior and interior wall framing, and windows/doors are dimensioned. Room sizes are indicated and any beams, posts and structural bearing points are called out. The floorplans include an electrical legend, and electrical fittings, lights and outlets are shown. Floor Plans will also indicate cross–section details (provided on the sections page) and show any special framing details applicable to the design. Cabinet elevations are included for kitchen and bathrooms; some designs feature cabinet elevations for design–related built–ins too.
Building Sections
Building sections show changes in floor, ceiling, or roof height, and the relationship of one level to another. Our section pages also show how the stairs are calculated (if there are some) and depict roof and foundation members. We try and draw sections to show the most useful information — choosing locations where there are elements you or your contractor might need clarification on.
Note: Sections and Elevations depict the default foundation, regardless of optional foundation page choices
Roof Plan
Roof framing or truss directions are shown, slope directions are indicated and structural members are sized and called out if applicable. The gravity loads used to calculate the rafters, beams and posts are indicated , and we also show gutters, downspouts, and any roof venting required for your home.
Notes and Details Page(s)
Your home comes detailed to meet the requirements of the latest adopted version of the ‘International Residential Code’, and our notes and details pages outline all the elements applicable to the design of your home. Compliance with further standards may need to be incorporated into your plan set, depending on the requirements of your building department — these are usually done locally.

A:The 61' depth does not include the eaves. The eaves are 12". The pack outdoor living eaves are 2'.
