Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Work from home and want a dedicated office away from main living (private home office/study on first floor)
  • Working with a narrow lot (24'4" wide, designed for tight urban sites)
  • Want second-floor laundry for bedroom proximity (centrally positioned on second floor)
  • Need 3 bedrooms and a home office in a compact footprint (1,575 sq ft includes both)
  • Prefer clustered bedrooms to reduce wasted hallway space (three bedrooms grouped on second floor)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3
  • Want single-level living without stairs (two-story design)
  • Prefer a 2-car garage (plan includes 1-car garage only)
  • Need a wider main floor — open concept keeps kitchen and keeping room as one flowing zone
  • Looking for a deeper lot (plan optimized for approximately 51 feet depth)

About this plan

Smart Two-Story Layout for Modern Families

This 1,575 square foot two-story home fits a 24'4" wide narrow lot, delivering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a dedicated home office in just 1,500 sq ft. The efficient two-story design reaches 26'8" in height with an 8:12 roof pitch, anchored by a 134-square-foot covered front porch.

The first floor spans 861 square feet with 10-foot ceilings, centered on an open-concept kitchen with a large center island and walk-in pantry. A keeping room provides flexible social space, while a private home office/study offers quiet workspace for remote work or focused tasks. A half-bath serves guests, keeping utility distinct from the main living core.

The second floor clusters three bedrooms in 714 square feet, with a centrally positioned laundry room minimizing hallway waste. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and attached bathroom, establishing privacy within the compact 51-foot footprint. The 1-car garage (236 sq ft) maintains the narrow lot efficiency while providing vehicle protection.

  • 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms in 1,575 sq ft
  • Home office/study on main floor
  • Clustered bedrooms reduce hallway space
  • Second-floor laundry near all bedrooms
  • Kitchen island and walk-in pantry

We compared three plan sources and Archival's pricing + free design call won us over. Our builder said the construction docs were the cleanest he'd seen.
