“The American Farmhouse is a timeless classic, modern or not. It is a house for a family.  It has an appropriately pitched gable roof, proportional windows, suitable symmetry without being boring, and a certain level of sophistication without being stuffy.” This description, sent to us by Darren Dickerson, the architect behind the home, is such a beautiful summary of this house we had to make it our lead. Let’s take a look inside.
