Urban Farmhouse Plans

Characterized by large (often wraparound) porches and big kitchens with gathering space nearby, the farmhouse is a classic sight in American country communities. Today, city and suburb dwellers can also enjoy these features with urban farmhouse plans. These homes embrace the characteristics of the farmhouse while offering their owners updated amenities and design elements that appeal to urban dwellers.

Urban farmhouse house plans have seen a renewed interest from people building their own homes, as city dwellers seek to embrace a bit of the country life. These house plans bring the character and charm of the country to the city and suburbs, featuring vertical board-and-batten siding, metal roofs and accents, large, open interiors, and spacious covered porches. With these features, it is no wonder that urban farmhouse home plans have become so popular - especially among those living a busy urban life.

The architecture and design of urban farmhouse plans naturally create a gathering place for families, making these homes the place where busy families come together to reconnect. They also have intrinsic charm, offering something unique in a cityscape with many similarly styled homes. Curb appeal is high in these properties as well, helping preserve their value. The large, welcoming front porch on the Nelson invites family to sit back in a rocking chair with a glass of iced tea while catching up with one another. Inside, a foyer opens into a spacious great room, with a single dining room and kitchen to the side, and a large covered porch.
