It’s refreshing to see that you can get a recently remodeled home with a popular, up-to-the-minute farmhouse style at a very vintage price.
We’re talking prices ranging from an ultralow of $130,000 to just under $500,000. And a newly updated residence doesn’t necessarily mean a new build. Some of these abodes have been around for some time, including one that was built in 1872.
Some say HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines are responsible for the modern farmhouse surge, as their show “Fixer Upper” was among the first to introduce many U.S. homebuyers to the style. But in fact, the “modern farmhouse” has been and remains one of the most popular home styles in the nation. The design is everywhere—you’ll find it in sunny Southern California beach houses as well as in swanky New York apartments.
As for these five modern farmhouses that we’ve picked out, we found them to be both charming and well-priced. Who knows how they might inspire you?
