Personalized Charm – Comparing Three Modern Farmhouses

Posted by tbhadmin on

Modern farmhouse designs artfully combine contemporary convenience with rustic charm, resulting in homes that are both functional and inviting. Let’s explore three distinctive modern farmhouse models by Travars Built Homes: the Longview, the Southern Farmhouse, and the Westbrook, each offering unique features and layouts.

The Longview Modern Farmhouse

The Longview spans 2,587 square feet, featuring 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with the master suite conveniently located on the main floor.

Key Features:

  • Great Room: The great room features a 12-foot raised ceiling, enhancing spaciousness and creating an open, airy, and inviting atmosphere.
  • Flexibility: Two first-floor offices offer versatile spaces, adaptable for remote work, study, or other lifestyle needs and requirements.
  • Energy Efficiency: The Longview’s ecoSelect energy certification ensures a low HERS score, reflecting its thoughtfully designed energy-efficient construction.
  • Kitchen:  Equipped with granite countertops, a custom tile backsplash, and two walk-in pantries with built-in wood shelving, the gourmet kitchen is designed for both functionality and style.

The Southern Farmhouse

The Southern Farmhouse is a completely customized home built by Travars Built, encompassing 4,158 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. This design showcases the flexibility Travars Built Homes offers, tailoring every detail to meet the homeowner’s specific preferences.
