The Best Modern Farmhouses on the Market Right Now
When it comes to choosing a style of home, you might have a hard time balancing your desire for traditional details with your love of all things clean and modern. But you don’t have to choose! The real estate market is brimming with fabulous renovated, modern farmhouses.
According to Amy Huff, a Realtor at the center of it all in Waco, Texas, many buyers are attracted to this style thanks to Chip and Joanna Gaines’s renovations on “Fixer Upper.” But the desire for these clean and simple homes goes far beyond just fandom:
“I think people are incredibly drawn to the nostalgia—the wholesomeness of the idea of having a farmhouse, living on a farm, living that simple lifestyle,” Huff says.
