Sunday afternoon in late March, and your mother-in-law’s furniture is already on the moving truck. The Thornfield is built around exactly that kind of day: dual porches that keep the traffic moving, an ADA suite with its own entrance, a wide-open main living area, and enough separation between spaces that two households can share one roof without negotiating every single morning.
Specifications
- Sq. Ft.: 2,519
- Bedrooms: 4
- Bathrooms: 3
Floor Plan – Main Floor
Four bedrooms on a single floor, anchored by a 20×21 great room with a cathedral ceiling. The ADA suite sits near its own accessible bath, the master suite gets a walk-in closet and freestanding tub, and the kitchen flows into the dining area without a wall in sight. Two covered porches finish it off.
Shiplap Fireplace, Wood Ceiling, Open Kitchen: Farmhouse Done Right
Tongue-and-groove wood planks on the vaulted ceiling set the tone for the whole room. Built-in shelves flank a shiplap fireplace surround painted white, with walnut-stained shelving carrying baskets and greenery — the kind of styling that looks casual but took about forty minutes to arrange. Past the sofa grouping, the kitchen opens up with gray cabinetry and stainless appliances visible in the background, which is exactly what you want from an open plan: the cooking and the living are connected without being on top of each other.
Farmhouse Laundry Room With a Mudroom That Actually Works
White shaker cabinets run the full length of the wall and meet a walnut bench seat with built-in hooks below. The apron-front sink sits on an open wood vanity with a bridge faucet in matte black, and wicker baskets on top of the machines keep the whole thing from feeling too precious. Marble-look tile underfoot, a runner rug, and you’ve got a room that handles backpacks, muddy boots, and laundry day without complaining.
Sage Walls, Barn Door, and a Bed You Won’t Want to Leave
Sage green paint is doing a lot of heavy lifting in here, and it earns every bit of it.
The barn door on a black sliding track keeps things grounded without trying too hard. Linen upholstery on the headboard, a jute rug layered over light wood floors, an olive tree in a woven basket — everything pulls in the same earthy direction. Crown molding and white trim add just enough polish to keep it from tipping into full rustic territory, which matters more than it sounds.
Matte Black Hardware and Marble Tile Make This Walk-In Shower Hard to Rush Through
Lit niche shelving, a built-in bench, and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures give this shower real utility without sacrificing the spa-adjacent feel.
Trend Alert: Curbless walk-in showers with built-in benches have quietly become the go-to solution for multigenerational households. They’re ADA-friendly without looking clinical, which is harder to pull off than it sounds — pair one with a handheld slide bar and you’ve got a shower that works for pretty much everyone under the roof.
Board-and-Batten White, Warm Wood Posts, Metal Roof That Means Business
Natural cedar porch columns cut against crisp vertical siding in a way that feels earned rather than decorative. Spanish moss in the background handles the landscaping for free.
Color Story: Board-and-batten siding reads white in photos but shifts slightly warm or cool depending on the light and time of day, so pulling a paint chip in your actual yard conditions matters more than matching a catalog swatch. Pairing it with raw cedar or Douglas fir columns keeps the palette from going cold.
Pin It
The exterior rendering shows board-and-batten siding, a metal roof, and a wraparound covered porch. The floor plan below lays out four bedrooms, a dedicated ADA suite with its own bath, a 20×21 kitchen and dining area, a great room with cathedral ceiling, and a three-car garage.
Fun Fact: Metal roofing has surged on farmhouse-style homes partly because it handles heavy rainfall and high wind far better than asphalt shingles, which makes it a sensible choice in the South where this style is most common. It also tends to last significantly longer, which eventually offsets the higher upfront cost — eventually being the operative word.
