Brechbuhler Architects designed this spacious modern farmhouse for a young, growing family, located in the Black Bull private golf community of Bozeman, Montana. The project required contemporary selecting and bright and airy, kid-friendly spaces. You will find unexpected touches throughout the interiors, with rich detailing and custom cabinetry. A welcoming exterior facade features rustic vertical and lap siding, along with aluminum-clad windows.
On the interior, there is an unfinished basement that has been plumber for a bar and bathroom—for future development. On the main level, you will find a living and dining room, kitchen, mudroom, powder bathroom and the master bedroom. The upper level encompasses three bedrooms, two bathrooms, the laundry room, a playroom and a spacious bonus room.

The living room has plenty of farmhouse charm with its wood burning fireplace and built-in cabinetry. The overall look is beautiful and elegant with some playful touches in the powder bathroom and kids playroom… which we absolutely adore!
