The Mulberry Plan by Fry Design Co is a 1,957-square-foot single-story barndominium farmhouse house plan with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a home office or gym, and a 2-car side-entry garage. It blends rustic farmhouse character with a modern, practical layout.
The Mulberry welcomes you with a 324-square-foot front porch accented by wood beams. Inside, the open-concept living area rises to a vaulted ceiling, with a breakfast nook and a kitchen that includes a butler's walk-in pantry. A 189-square-foot covered rear patio adds a second place to sit outside. You can compare it with similar designs in our barndominium plans collection.

Who is the Mulberry plan best for?
The Mulberry suits people who want a comfortable single-story home sized for how they live now:
- Empty nesters and couples. Two bedrooms and two baths keep the home easy to maintain, with a guest room for visits. Three out of four adults 50 and older want to stay in their current homes as they age, according to AARP's 2024 Home and Community Preferences Survey, and a single-story plan makes that easier. Our guide to empty nester house plans covers what to keep when you downsize.
- People who work from home or work out at home. A dedicated room serves as an office or a home gym. Our post on what to keep open and what to close back up covers how to plan rooms like a home office.
- Cooks and hosts. A butler's walk-in pantry keeps small appliances and bulk storage out of the main kitchen. In the National Association of Home Builders' 2024 What Home Buyers Really Want study, 80 percent of buyers rated a walk-in pantry essential or desirable.
- Anyone who values privacy. The split-bedroom design places the primary suite away from the second bedroom.
Main-level laundry adds everyday convenience, and the side-entry garage keeps the front of the house focused on the porch. Our guide to where the laundry room should go explains why placement matters.
The Mulberry and the Elmwood are both two-bedroom single-story plans with a home office. Choose the Mulberry for a rustic farmhouse look and the Elmwood for a modern metal exterior and a larger garage.
Ways to customize the Mulberry
Any Fry Design Co plan can be modified to fit your lot. On the Mulberry, owners might turn the office into a third bedroom, enlarge the rear patio, or flip the plan for their driveway. We quote every change before work starts. Here is how our modification pricing typically breaks down, on top of the plan price:
|
Type of change |
Typical price |
|---|---|
|
Minor (windows, doors, non-load-bearing walls, finishes) |
$200 to $500 |
|
Moderate (adding a room, garage or porch changes, foundation change) |
$500 to $1,500 |
|
Major (footprint changes, load-bearing walls, structural redesign) |
$1,500 and up |
Simple updates usually take a few days to a week. Complex redesigns take two to three weeks. Our post on what you can change on a stock house plan covers this in more detail, and our guide to how much house you can afford to build can help you set a budget.
What to expect after you buy the Mulberry plan
- Builder-ready plans. A qualified builder can price the Mulberry and build from the plans you receive. Building in Oklahoma? Fry Design Co can also build it for you. Learn about our design and build services.
- Ready for your lender. The plans are sufficient for a lender to appraise the home. Freddie Mac lists barndominiums as an eligible property type for conventional mortgages, according to Mortgage Research Network.
- A proven design. Every Fry stock plan started as a custom home design and has been built.
- A single-build license. Your purchase covers building the home once.
- Changes when you need them. If something is close but not quite right, we can modify the plan without starting over.
