A 28-Ft Modern Farmhouse Tiny House with Skylights in New Jersey

This 28-foot Modern Farmhouse build leans on two details that punch above their cost: shiplap and skylights. The sleeping loft is reached by storage stairs rather than a ladder and lit by a large skylight — which is the difference between a loft you tolerate and one you actually want to wake up in. A second storage loft sits above the bathroom.

The kitchen is the showpiece: a double-sided farmhouse sink, periwinkle cabinets, butcher block countertops, an apartment-sized fridge, and a propane stove and oven. The bathroom pairs a four-foot bathtub and detachable shower head with a subway-tiled surround and a Separett composting toilet. A mini-split handles heating and cooling.

Editor’s note: this new-construction home was listed at $79,000 in New Jersey in early 2024 and has sold. Current listings are linked below.

Inside a Modern Farmhouse Build


The kitchen boasts a double farmhouse sink!

Storage stairs lead up to the loft bedroom.

The tiny house has an oven and an apartment-sized refrigerator.

The extra counter area doubles as a table/desk.

Gorgeous color on these cabinets! Periwinkle.

There’s a washer/dryer cubby next to the fridge.

Oh what a pretty little bathroom!

The Separette toilet lets you live off-grid.

It’s nice that there’s space to hang clothing in the kitchen.

Small Details That Carry a Build

  • A skylight over the loft changes everything. Daylight and headroom decide whether a sleeping loft feels like a room or a crawlspace.
  • Storage stairs beat a ladder every time. They cost floor area and hand it back as drawers, while keeping the loft usable long term.
  • A real bathtub is rare and hard to add later. A four-foot tub in a 28-ft home is a deliberate trade against kitchen or storage space.
  • Composting toilet plus propane means flexible siting. Fewer hookups required is what lets a home like this sit somewhere unserviced.
