Modern Farmhouse Architecture

Traditional farmhouses originated in the 18th century primarily as functional dwellings for farmers. Essentially, any house that was built on a farm was considered a farmhouse, so these homes varied quite a bit depending on the everyday needs of the farmers who resided in them.

However, despite the variances among true pastoral farmhouses, when many of us think of a traditional farmhouse, it evokes a quaint, idyllic feeling that heavily influenced the look and feel of modern farmhouses as we know them today.

Common characteristics of modern farmhouses include board and batten siding and exposed wood beams that give them a warm, welcoming feeling that calls to mind simpler times. But you'll also find contemporary luxuries in many modern farmhouses, like smart home technology, walk-in closets, luxury fixtures, and modern accents, resulting in homes that blend the inviting charm of pastoral farmhouses with the functionality needed for today's high-tech living.

That being said, modern farmhouses, like their traditional counterparts, can vary quite a bit in terms of size, shape, and style. Some of these homes are relatively small, featuring simple square and rectangular shapes, minimal windows, and one level, while others are expansive structures with large walls of glass, complex layouts, and multiple levels.

Still, most modern farmhouses share a handful of key characteristics that make them easy to spot, including:

• Pitched gabled roof
• Board and batten siding
• Vaulted ceilings
• Exposed beams
• Expansive front porch
