I’ve become slightly obsessed with the modern farmhouse plans that Southern Living sells.
Remember when I tracked down a handful of houses built around the country with the same popular Sugarberry Cottage floor plan?
I just heard about another version of the house built in Prospect, Kentucky, from its owner.
This one has the same modern farmhouse look as others that used the popular floor plan, but they customized it with some changes here and there. It’s fun to see how everyone designs their Sugarberry Cottages to look a little different.
The home has 2,300+ sq ft. There are 1,525 sq ft on the first floor + 842 sq ft on the second, with an additional 1,500 in the unfinished basement.
Chris, the homeowner, says, “It has a 3 car attached garage as well. My wife and I were inspired by Southern Living’s Sugarberry cottage articles and had architect Dan Grimm draw up the plans to our specifications, and had David Weis and his team at Meridian build it.”
Instead of a screened porch on the side as most Sugarberry Cottages have, this one was left open, but the homeowners plan to finish it someday. It offers an additional 200 sq ft of outdoor living space.
Because the lots are small in this neighborhood, the homeowners told me they paid extra for a corner lot they could fence in for their Shih Tzus named Rambo and Roslyn.
There are also three dogs parks within the neighborhood where they can play and meet other dogs.
The house was built in the Norton Commons neighborhood in Prospect, Kentucky, which has a lot of charming new houses being built in traditional styles like this one.
Thanks to the homeowner for telling me about his cottage! I love seeing different versions of this plan.

Delightful! Notice the detail at the top of the front gable — I think that’s a version of a dovecote, which I thought about adding to our house. Usually, dovecotes have holes, for the doves, of course. Anyway, when I win the lottery, I shall build a trad neighborhood like this one. 😉 Wish me luck!
Good luck! 🙂
Love that look. My dream is to have a screened in porch so that is the only thing I would change.
Such a lovely house! Love the master bedroom!
Cottages are the best!
I love this home design. The extra open kitchen and brick walled fireplace are awesome. I do agree with Reba though….I think this style of home would be better suited to a big country lot, as opposed to a subdivision.
What a great floor plan…I am searching for the perfect plan for my downsized home….getting to the point where we may have to have some plans drawn up….I want a room where I can do my laundry, craft, a great potting area….the all purpose room…(I don’t want much!)…..
Love this! I would love to see a plan with the modifications they made- I can’t seem to find anything other than the originals.
I love this house design. It’s perfect for an empty nester who lives by the beach. Hope to build this design, and if I do, I will keep you posted of the progress.
I’d love to see how it turns out if you do! 🙂
Do you know who built this home? I’d be interested in seeing the floor plan. I love this house, but would want it be around the 1800 sq. ft. range for a family of 4.
There’s a link to the builder’s site at the end of the post if you’d like more information about it!
Thanks for the pictures. I have always loved the look of the exterior of this house. It is so nice to see the inside and put it all together.
