Friends…you are in for a treat today! I am about to share with you the most stunning, drool worthy, European farmhouse home tour. I dare you not to pin every picture!! This dream home is right in my own town of McKinney, TX…in fact it is in my neighborhood…and guess what…it can be yours!
When we moved into our neighborhood almost 4 years ago we were one of the first homes. I loved it because as new homes were being built I would walk through them and see all the different stages. This is a dream for a home/design lover like myself. I met the owners of this home while it was being built and they were telling me all about their design plans and I could not wait to see it complete. They spent years collecting very unique pieces that the home was being designed around. A total dream…right?! Prepare to be blown away!
It’s 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 4749 sq feet with a 3 car garage and it is on .625 acres
The whole house is crisp white which really makes all the beautiful details, furniture and architectural pieces stand out. The flooring is tumbled marble herringbone and while it is beautiful…the best flooring is still to come (hard to believe right)!
They installed antique french doors on the opening to their family room which you can see better in the next picture.
Check out the reclaimed wood fireplace, beams and those shutters! You can see a peek at my favorite flooring that I will tell you more about later.
You are now entering my favorite part of the house….the kitchen! When I walked through this house as it was being built I was so confused by the floors. They had not been installed yet and all of the steps in the house were made for a giant! I mean I had to hold onto the wall when I stepped up or down into another room. I could not figure out what was possibly going to be used as flooring and then when they told me it made perfect sense and was just perfection! These wood floors are actually crates imported from Belgium! I mean are you kidding me??!!! How amazing is that! You can see each individual section when you look at the floor. They are super thick (hello crates) so they had to drop the floor down so when they were installed so everything was the right scale.
The floors, the beams, the antiques…I really cannot decide which is my favorite. This is the most breath taking room.
Look how clean and relaxing the master bedroom is. They painted the wood floors white.
This is “his” office. Again, I die over the furniture…and that brick wall!
Look at this half bath sink! The faucet comes out of the mirror! They seriously thought of everything!
One of the bedrooms (check out the amazing carpet)
and bathrooms…
Another bedroom…
and bathroom…
Laundry room. This home gives me major #sinkenvy
“Her” office
Seriously incredible right??!! I could stare at these pictures for hours! The entire home is custom designed to perfection! It is truly a dream home. Like I mentioned above, this home is for sale. I am so sad to see this amazing family move…they are the sweetest, but this could be YOUR future home. I would love to hear below what your favorite part of the home is. I know it will be so hard to choose!!
Be sure to pin this European Farmhouse Home Tour for later so you can be completely inspired again!

Thank you for sharing this with us. My husband and I will be building a French country home within the next year. First time for building new for us….scary, but exciting. Everyday thoughts of the house plan swirl around in my head, planning furniture, design, ect…my passion. This has given me more to think about and much inspiration. Thanks.

Oh that is so exciting! Congrats. I totally understand. We plan to build a farmhouse in the future and I spend way to much time designing it! Thanks for stopping by!!
Comien says

Is there any way you could let me know the color brick that you used on this home? I would greatly appreciate it. Beautiful home.
houseofhargrove@gmail.com says
Thank you so much but I don’t know. I know they used regular brick and then did mortar all over the entire home. What you are seeing is mortar….not the actual brick color. I think it is called German Schmere and then did a very heavy coat of it.
Shannon says
Love this house! We are planning to build very soon. Is there a floor plan available? Who is the builder??
houseofhargrove@gmail.com says
Thanks….sorry it was a custom build. It was built by Huntington Homes but there is no floor plan.

Wow!! When you said you dared me not to pin every picture, I was skeptical. Well you were right! Right, right right! I’d leave a whole paragraph or sonet, but I am off to google belgium crates for my house! lol
houseofhargrove@gmail.com says
haha! Thanks so much Christine!! Who knew crates would make such amazing flooring!

Writing from Boulder where I am shocked at the low price of this amazing home…it would be four million here! Very nice home. A little stark for me, but wow anyway.

The DOORS are awesome ~ my favorites ~ tho’ that kitchen floor is amazing, too! I love the front door, plus the tall sets of whitewashed (?) wooden double doors off the entryway …
I just saw a short demo of the German Schmere technique this weekend! It is a great way to change the look of brick of which you are not overly fond, but retain just the few colors that appeal to you ~ in order to more easily achieve a lighter overall appearance!
The entire home and surrounding lawn are gorgeous, and “just perfect” in my eyes! Thanks for sharing, KariAnne!
