The Southern Serenity is a 2,186 sqft single-story modern farmhouse house plan with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an attached 511 sqft 2-car garage, designed for suburban lots. A modern take on classic southern style house plans, it blends timeless gabled forms with clean contemporary detailing, natural wood cladding, and standing-seam metal roofing — and the open layout, big sliding glass doors, and L-shaped rear deck make indoor-outdoor living effortless.

Why this modern farmhouse house plan works

At the heart of the home is a minimalist kitchen with a long counter, a large island, and a full-wall pantry. A true cooking hub that doubles as the place everyone gathers. The house was wrapped in large black-framed windows, and the interior featured a vaulted living and dining space filled with natural light. The living room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace.

Single-story living, designed for privacy

Everything is on one level. The primary suite is tucked away for quiet and privacy, while two secondary bedrooms share a bathroom with dual sinks, comfortable for family or guests. A dedicated home office and a spacious mudroom round out a layout that's as practical as it can be. As far as single story house plans go, it's a genuinely livable, family-friendly floor plan.

A modern farmhouse exterior

The two-gable exterior pairs natural wood vertical siding with a dark standing-seam metal roof — a modern farmhouse aesthetic, rooted in Southern architecture, that balances curb appeal with a strong connection to the landscape.

Frequently asked questions

How can I customize a FRANK floor plan design?

Our blueprint package includes CAD and 3D model files, allowing you to work with a local designer to customize the floor plan according to your preferences and site conditions.

Additionally, we have an in-house design team that can provide minor design customization services. To request customization, please submit your requirements via this link, and we will respond with a quote and estimated time frame.

Is it possible to modify the exterior materials of a FRANK home based on my preferences?

Yes, the exterior materials can be adjusted according to your preferences in consultation with your local builder. Our drawings focus on the dimensions of the building, allowing for flexibility to change exterior materials and accommodate different thicknesses.

Should I choose the study set package or the building plans package for my FRANK home project?

The study set is intended for early-stage planning, such as obtaining quotes, searching for land, and consulting with local builders and permitting authorities. However, the study set cannot be used for actual construction, and we do not grant a license to build our designs with a study set.

The building plans, on the other hand, is designed for obtaining detailed cost estimates, building permits, and actual construction. It includes comprehensive building details and a material list, simplifying the building process and permitting procedures. The building plans package comes with a single building license.

Are the plans compliant with my county's building code?

Our designs adhere to the International Residential Code (IRC) standards at a federal level. We have optimized our homes for insulation appropriate for a wide range of climates. While our customers have secured building permits in over 21 states, local county specifications can differ. We advise consulting with your local building department to ensure all requirements specific to your area are met.

What type of license and stamp do the plans grant me?

You are granted a single-use building license when you purchase a blueprint package. This license permits you to build one home using the provided plans. Please note that the plans are copyrighted, and any unauthorized reproduction, modification, or reuse is prohibited.

As for stamps, our plans are not pre-stamped by an engineer or architect. This is because local requirements vary, and you may need to have the plans reviewed and stamped by a licensed professional in your jurisdiction. It is essential to consult your local building department to determine if a stamp is required and to ensure the plans comply with local regulations.
