What makes a farmhouse a classic? Is it the staircase, the bookshelves, the fireplace, the walk-in pantry, or the porches? While everyone has a different take on the classic Kansas farmhouse, this home is filled with timeless characteristics that have stood the test of time.
We love the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in the study that make the home feel majestic. The wood flooring accented by the classic white brings out the beauty of the staircase, especially when the golden rays are shining in the windows! The living room is warmed by the oversized fireplace and flanked by large windows. When you want to get some fresh air, the front and the back porches offer excellent views of the Kansas horizon!
When entering the home from the garage you first enter a space intended for shoe and coat storage and it also opens into the laundry room. From there you can quickly set the groceries down on the kitchen counter and get dinner started or light the fire in the living room.
Stainless steal appliances in the kitchen are paired with subway tile and white quartz countertops. In the pantry the homeowners added a butcher block countertop to accent the white shelves and wood flooring. In the bathrooms the homeowners picked out eclectic white tile with traditional vanities and finishes to tie everything together.
In the basement they have fully functional use of the extra space for entertainment.
Each space flows from room to room without feeling too tight or closed-off, mainly due to the abundance of natural lighting offered!
When the bedrooms are on a separate level of the home, it really changes the dynamic of having company over because they’re likely to stay on the main level or outside. This home invites guests outside to either of the porches or to the great room to watch the cooking and enjoying the fireplace. All the spaces on the main level offer excellent views of the prairie and provides conversation starters from the weather to the wilderness!
