It has a lot of Craftsman style features, but with the white siding and metal roof details, it has a Modern Farmhouse feel to it, at least to me.

I love the little metal roof that is over the window. A similar roof is over the garage doors.

The roof of the house has regular shingles, but they put metal roofing over the window, on the porch roof.
