White Board and Batten Farmhouse, Built with Cuates Construction

Exposed wood beams over the living room, a farmhouse sink island and natural wood cabinets, all on one floor. Every room inside is on this page, from the kitchen to the laundry.

This one-story farmhouse was built by Cuates Construction, with David Aceves in a key role on the build. White board and batten siding sits under a black shingle roof with dormers. Inside are vaulted wood beams, wood-look plank floors and a white kitchen with a farmhouse sink. The photos are from May 2025.

The home02

What is the house like, inside and out?

A one-story farmhouse in white board and batten, with black-framed windows and a black shingle roof broken by dormers. A front porch on cedar posts runs across the entry, and the garage opens on the side.

Inside, the living room rises to a vaulted ceiling with exposed light wood beams. Wood-look plank flooring runs through the main rooms, and a linear fireplace sits across from the kitchen.

The kitchen pairs a large white island and a farmhouse sink with natural wood glass-front cabinets, a pot filler over the gas range and an arched wood pantry door. The primary suite has a double vanity, a walk-in shower with a wood-look tile wall and a walk-in closet with an island.

What it shows04

What does a farmhouse build teach a remodel?

Vaulted beams, a linear fireplace wall and an arched pantry opening get planned at the framing stage, not at the finish. That is the order David follows on an addition or a whole home remodel.

An open kitchen and living room like this one starts with where the walls, the beams and the plumbing go.
