This inviting farmhouse-style home was designed by Rehkamp Larson Architects, located in Independence, a city in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Set in a former farm field along a horse path, this new two-story farmhouse opens up a traditional vernacular form for a busy modern family. The small upper level of the house efficiently contains a guest bedroom, bathroom, and two kids’ bedrooms connected by a Jack and Jill bath.

Contained within that same footprint on the main floor are the primary living spaces of kitchen, living room and dining room, which are wrapped by a shallow shed roof form containing all the supporting spaces for the main floor – mudroom, kennel, pantry, powder room, entry, master suite, study, and porches.

An attached garage provides everyday parking for two cars, and a detached barn has space for gardening and hunting equipment, storage, and overflow parking. House, barn, and family have settled comfortably into this beautiful new farmstead.

What We Love: This inviting farmhouse style home offers its inhabitants a comfortable atmosphere for family living. A crisp, clean exterior facade features a cozy front porch for lounging and watching beautiful sunsets. A verdant landscape provides a stunning backdrop to this welcoming family home. Inside, living spaces are open and spacious with stylish yet relaxed furnishings. Overall, a lovely home, kudos to the design team!
