Peek inside to see how a family transformed their North Carolina farmhouse

For many, moving from a smaller home into one with a larger footprint is an exciting possibility. For a busy family like that of Scott Bradford and Abbie Charette, the relocation to this 3600 square foot farmhouse in Chapel Hill, North Carolina offered more space for their 2 sons and family pets to roam. It also meant that additional furniture needed to be purchased to complete each room of the home. The contemporary design of this decade old farmhouse meant that Charette could choose a combination of modern and rustic pieces. For instance, the eat-in kitchen features a rustic table while the adjoining living room is outfitted with more contemporary pieces.
It's easy to see why Bradford and Charette were drawn to this southern home. With its spacious wrap-around porch and two-story design, it offers that quintessential farmhouse appeal. The four acres that it is located on allow the family's children and pets to stretch their legs and enjoy the outdoors. Even when inside, a multitude of windows provides a clear view of the landscape and its many features.
