The Sycamore 1 Plan by Fry Design Co is a 2,000-square-foot single-story modern farmhouse barndominium house plan with 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a 640-square-foot wraparound porch. It fits four bedrooms into an efficient footprint, then adds porch space most homes this size never have.
The porch is the first thing you notice. It wraps the house and leads to a double-door entry, giving the Sycamore 1 a welcoming farmhouse face. Inside, vaulted ceilings rise over an open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining area, so the center of the home feels bright and airy. You can compare it with similar designs in our barndominium plans collection.

Who is the Sycamore 1 plan best for?
The Sycamore 1 is a strong fit for families who need bedrooms more than extra square footage:
- Families with three or more children. Four bedrooms in 2,000 square feet keeps the home efficient to build and to heat and cool. Our guide to one-story farmhouse floor plans covers what makes a good single-level layout.
- Parents who want some separation. A split-bedroom layout places the primary suite away from the other three bedrooms.
- People who live outdoors. Between the wraparound porch and the covered rear patio, the plan has 832 square feet of covered outdoor space. Our post on farmhouse plans with a wrap around porch covers how deep a porch should be. In the National Association of Home Builders' 2024 What Home Buyers Really Want study, 86 percent of buyers rated a patio essential or desirable, and 81 percent said the same of a front porch.
- Owners planning a separate shop or garage. The plan has no attached garage, which suits land where you would rather build a detached shop. Our post on shop with living quarters layouts covers how to plan one.
If you want an attached garage, the Sycamore 1 needs a modification. The Willow offers four bedrooms with a 2-car garage.
Ways to customize the Sycamore 1
Any Fry Design Co plan can be modified to fit your lot. On the Sycamore 1, the most common request is likely an attached garage. Owners might also add a bathroom or flip the plan to suit the 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.
