Watch HGTV for any time at all, and you’ll hear a few buzzwords ad nauseam: Shiplap. Reclaimed wood. Clawfoot tub. Not coincidentally, these features helped define the country-chic houses that have infiltrated the metro area over the past couple of years.

“The thing people find attractive is that these modern farmhouses look very austere on the exterior, but they have really tall windows and tons of light, and the interiors are totally open and contemporary, for the most part,” says Howard Meyers, a North Shore real estate agent with Compass.

Buyers are apparently willing to pay a premium for the look. RealEstate.com found that including terms like “barn doors,” “exposed beams,” and “farmhouse sink” in a listing can drive the sale price up by more than 20 percent. The bubble might not last much longer, however. Kris Berger, a Berkshire Hathaway real estate agent in Hinsdale, says she’s seeing some rural fatigue. “They are still being built everywhere, but I am starting to hear from buyers who say, ‘Oh, I’m getting so sick of that all-white farm style.’ ”

Here are four now on the market.
