The wraparound porch is the whole point, and that tells you exactly who finally pulled the trigger on this build — coffee before the property wakes up, a cold beer when the last fence post is in, the kind of quiet that rewards people who spent twenty years earning it. The Wrenhollow delivers that life through a two-story barndominium layout with the porch wrapping every corner, an open main floor that doesn’t apologize for its size, and a second level that holds its own.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 2,581
- Bedrooms: 3
- Bathrooms: 2.5
Floor Plan – Main Floor
Single-story layout with three bedrooms, owner’s suite with walk-in closet, open great room flowing into kitchen and dining, plus covered patios on two sides.
Floor Plan – Second Floor
Upper level reveals a loft, two unfinished rooms with tray ceilings, and bedroom three with bath.
Board-and-Batten Walls, Stone Chimney, and a Porch That Actually Gets Used
Warm-toned board-and-batten siding wraps the upper gable while dark metal panels handle the lower section — a contrast that reads as intentional without being loud. The stone chimney plants itself at the corner like it was always there. Wooden porch columns and a wraparound roofline give the whole thing a lived-in quality before anyone has moved a single piece of furniture in.
The stone chimney anchors the corner hard.
Soaring Stone Fireplace Wall That Earns Every Inch of Vertical Space
Stacked ledger stone climbs two full stories beside a linear gas fireplace, grounded by a raw wood beam mantel and light wide-plank floors.
Material Matters: Stacked ledger stone is a practical call for barndominiums because it installs over standard framing without a full masonry foundation underneath. Pair it with a raw-edge wood mantel and the material story stays cohesive without feeling like it’s trying too hard. That combination carries real weight in double-height rooms, where a single wall has to do a lot of visual heavy lifting on its own.
Matte Black Cabinets and a Kitchen Island Built for Actual Cooking
Flat-front cabinets in near-black run floor to ceiling, pulling the eye upward toward the double-height space above. Five wood-seat barstools pull up to a white stone island with a bridge faucet set at the far end, and open shelving on the right keeps wine bottles within reach without a trip to the other side of the kitchen.
- Flat-front cabinet doors skip the hardware, so there’s nothing to snag a dish towel on
- A bridge faucet works well on wide islands because it keeps plumbing runs centered without crowding prep space
- Under-cabinet lighting along the full run of base cabinets cuts shadows directly where chopping happens
Fluted Pedestal Table and White Upholstery That Hold Their Own Against Dark Cabinetry
The reeded wood pedestal base on the dining table is the kind of detail most people walk past and then notice a week later. White upholstered chairs and the matte black cabinetry nearby keep each other honest — neither overpowers the other, and the room is better for it.
History Corner: Barndominiums trace their roots to the post-and-beam agricultural buildings of 19th-century rural America, where wide open spans were needed for livestock and equipment. Homeowners started building residential versions in earnest during the 1990s, drawn by floor plans that conventional stick-built construction couldn’t easily replicate. That structural logic — no interior load-bearing walls eating up the footprint — is exactly why kitchen and dining spaces in barndominiums so often bleed into each other without a wall between them.
Dark Cabinetry, Open Shelving, and a Laundry Room That Finally Has Enough Counter Space
Front-load washer and dryer sit flush under a continuous countertop, with shiplap walls and woven baskets keeping the storage grounded and functional.
Worth Knowing: Front-load machines use less water per cycle than top-loaders, which makes them a sensible fit for homes on a well or in areas with water restrictions. A continuous countertop stretched across the pair adds folding space without any extra construction — just a slab and a couple of brackets. Open shelving above keeps everyday supplies in reach and skips the cost of upper cabinets entirely.
Vaulted Ceiling, Exposed Beams, and a Loft Rail That Frames the Whole Room
Exposed wood beams against a vaulted white ceiling do most of the heavy lifting in this room before any furniture shows up. The loft railing below — black iron balusters, light wood cap — gives the landing a defined edge without closing off the sightlines down to the main floor. A round chandelier and woven ottoman anchor opposite ends of the room, far enough apart that neither competes with the other.
Fun Fact: Vaulted ceilings in barndominiums are partly a byproduct of post-and-beam structure, which doesn’t depend on interior load-bearing walls the way conventional framing does. That freedom lets builders push ceiling heights dramatically without adding structural cost. The open volume also makes routing mechanical systems — ductwork, mini-splits — considerably more straightforward than in a standard framed house.
Channeled Headboard, Geometric Art, and a Bedroom Built Around Quiet
Vertical channel tufting on the upholstered headboard pairs with a geometric art triptych above the bed, and the wood-look floor adds grain without making the room feel heavier than it should.
Why That Pendant Works Where a Flush Mount Would Fail
The cage-style pendant with its fabric shade pulls double duty — task lighting and a visual anchor above the bed. Rooms with high ceilings and minimal crown detail tend to develop a dead zone in the vertical space between the top of the furniture and the ceiling itself, and recessed cans do almost nothing to address it. Dropping a pendant to mid-height solves that. The black metal frame ties back to the nightstand hardware without forcing a match, which is the right call.
Floating Wood Vanity, Marble Counters, and a Wet Room Worth the Square Footage
Shiplap paneling behind the double vanity keeps that wall light while gray marble tile takes over everywhere else. Black fixtures throughout connect the two zones without demanding they match exactly. Best detail in the room: the freestanding tub sits inside the wet room footprint, so there’s no separate tub deck eating into the floor plan.
Ask Yourself: Planning a wet room layout like this one? Sort out drain placement before a single tile goes down. Relocating a floor drain after the fact is one of the more expensive mid-project corrections you can make, and it’s almost always avoidable.
Pin It
A rendered exterior shows a modern farmhouse barndominium with board-and-batten siding, a wraparound covered porch, and glass garage doors. Below it, the floor plan reveals three bedrooms, a cathedral-ceiling great room, a walk-in pantry, and a covered patio on two sides.
