Covering 3,102 sq. ft., The Blarney Farmhouse is a two-story home featuring four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The design includes a balcony and a bonus room, adding both outdoor living space and flexibility to the layout.
Stately blue Craftsman-style home with White trim, gabled roof, and attached garage
You’re looking at a perfect example of the Craftsman architectural style, characterized by its low-pitched gabled roof, exposed rafters, and decorative brackets under the eaves. The house features a prominent front porch with tapered square columns set on stone piers, a hallmark of Craftsman design. The blue siding with white trim, multiple gables, and a mix of window styles, including arched windows, add visual interest while maintaining the classic Craftsman aesthetic.
Main level layout

Tall windows in the great room flood the space with natural light, creating an airy atmosphere that highlights the connection to the deck through French doors.

Bedroom with neutral tones and layered lighting .. I’m not a big fan of the grey walls
With gray walls, a plush headboard, and soft lighting from both natural and LED sources, this bedroom features a well-balanced design. Twin windows flank the bed, providing even light distribution and a view outside. I’d ditch the grey color of the walls for a lighter tone and add some art pieces on the walls.

Simple bedroom with vaulted ceiling and large arched window

Minimalist home office with sleek countertops and tile flooring
A minimalist home office with dark countertops running along two walls, providing ample workspace. Light gray walls and a large window create a bright environment, while modern chairs add a touch of style.
