Perched in the West hillside of Bend, this custom Modern Farmhouse offers breathtaking views of Northwest Crossing and Discovery West Park while embodying a seamless blend of contemporary design and traditional farmhouse charm. The home’s clean, simplistic sightlines and vertically proportioned massing give it a refined aesthetic, while dark grid windows and a light stucco exterior provide striking contrasts. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes ample entertainment spaces indoors and out, catering to both intimate gatherings and lively social events.

Rooted in the timeless traditions of American Farmhouse architecture, this modern interpretation draws inspiration from historical design elements while integrating contemporary features. Classic American Farmhouses were often built over time, evolving with the needs of their occupants. These homes typically began as simple two-story structures with a prominent front porch, with additional rooms added later in rectangular forms featuring gable, hip, or shed roofs. The custom Modern Farmhouse honors this tradition by combining vertically oriented proportions with thoughtfully placed single-story extensions.

The roof design is quintessentially farmhouse, with a steep-pitched gable roof over the primary structure and lower-slope secondary roofs over porches and extensions. Roofing materials include laminated composition asphalt shingles and metal, with metal roofing often used on porches for a traditional yet durable touch. Small roof overhangs at the eaves and barge rafters further enhance the farmhouse aesthetic, offering subtle yet impactful detailing.

Windows play a key role in maintaining the balance between classic and modern design. Vertically oriented single- or double-hung windows, often placed symmetrically on walls, evoke a traditional feel, while casement windows with matching sash designs bring a contemporary edge. The exterior trim surrounding windows and doors is kept simple yet elegant, in line with farmhouse traditions. Entry doors feature straightforward detailing, often incorporating glazing and sidelights to maximize natural light.

This Modern Farmhouse reimagines the essence of American farmhouse architecture, merging historical influences with clean, modern design to create a home that is both timeless and functional. Its elevated setting, elegant proportions, and seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces make it a standout residence that honors tradition while embracing modernity.
