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…
  • Need a single-level, fully accessible layout with no stairs (one-story ranch on a narrow footprint)
  • Working from home and need a dedicated study or office near the front entry
  • Want a compact footprint to fit a narrow lot under 39 feet wide (34 ft wide x 59 ft 6 in deep)
  • Plan to age in place with first-floor laundry, master suite, and all living on one level
  • Seeking open living with 10-foot ceilings and an island kitchen (open-concept core with kept/family room)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than 3 bedrooms — this plan has exactly 3
  • Want a two-story design to maximize square footage — this is a single-level home
  • Need a 2-car garage — this plan includes only 1 car garage (252 sq ft)
  • Require a spacious lot — the design is optimized for narrow, tight frontages

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Compact Single-Story Home for Narrow Lots

This one-story cottage plan delivers 1,585 square feet of heated living area on a narrow 34-foot by 59-foot 6-inch footprint, ideal for smaller or constrained lots. The design features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a dedicated study positioned for remote work, all on a single accessible level with 10-foot ceilings throughout.

The open-concept kitchen centers on an island and includes a walk-in pantry, maintaining clear sightlines into the dining and keeping rooms. A formal dining room provides flexible entertaining space. The study sits near the front entry, offering privacy for work-from-home professionals. The 18-foot maximum building height and 6:12 roof pitch create a modern, compact profile.

A split-bedroom layout ensures privacy, with the primary suite at the rear featuring a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Two secondary bedrooms in the front section share a full bathroom, creating clear separation between owner and guest spaces. First-floor laundry adds convenience. Front and rear covered porches (35 and 72 square feet) extend outdoor living.

  • Single-story, fully accessible design with no stairs
  • Dedicated study for remote work with front-entry privacy

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.
