Farmhouse

Just outside of both Durham and Chapel Hill, where rolling fields stretch toward the horizon and the landscape still carries the rhythm of farm life, stands a custom home that redefines the farmhouse for today. Set on an expansive farm property, this residence blends the timeless character of rural architecture with the clean lines and comforts of modern living.

At first glance, the home feels familiar. Its silhouette nods to the traditional farmhouse vernacular—pitched roofs, wide porches, and a sense of grounded simplicity. But look closer, and the updates are clear. Large windows replace small panes, flooding the interior with natural light. Crisp lines and a curated material palette give the structure a refined modernity while honoring its agricultural roots.

The design respects the history of rural homesteads while offering a fresh perspective—proof that tradition can evolve without losing its soul.

True to its farmhouse heritage, the custom home was built with functionality at its core. Mudrooms, utility spaces, and generous storage ensure the residence supports daily life on a large property. Yet these practical elements are seamlessly integrated into a design that feels elevated, not utilitarian.

An updated trim package adds polish, while thoughtfully chosen materials provide durability and timeless appeal. It’s a home designed not just for beauty, but for real living.
