The farmhouse style is in demand across the country, from renovated historic homes to new construction. The New York Times recently reported on the “Modern Farmhouse” phenomenon, outlining the design that has taken over new builds: from white board and batten siding to black frame windows, a covered porch, lots of exposed wood beams, and a charming stone foundation. We’re highlighting antique and new farmhouses across Maine, with many offering acreage, barns, garden beds, fruit trees, and even a chicken coop.
