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…
  • Plan to age in place — master suite and laundry on the first floor with living zones close by
  • Growing family needing 3 bedrooms plus flexible bonus space on the second floor
  • Want a two-car garage on a moderately compact lot (49 ft by 49 ft footprint)
  • Looking for a work-from-home office plus sleeping for 4–5 people total
  • Love outdoor entertaining with a large rear porch (93 sq ft covered space)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need all bedrooms on one floor — the 2 secondary bedrooms are upstairs
  • Want a single-story layout to eliminate stairs (this is a two-story design)
  • Require 4+ finished bedrooms on day one — 2 of the 4 sleeping areas are in the unfinished bonus room
  • Have a very narrow lot under 45 feet — this design needs 49 feet of width

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Two-Story Cottage with Bonus Room and First-Floor Master

This cottage-style home delivers 1,969 square feet across two levels on a compact 49 ft by 49 ft footprint. The main floor offers 1,479 square feet centered on an open-concept kitchen, dining, and keeping room connected by a large kitchen island and walk-in pantry. The first-floor master suite features a private bath with double vanity and a walk-in closet, placing the primary bedroom away from the upper-level guests or children.

The second floor adds 490 square feet, housing two additional bedrooms and a flexible bonus room suitable for a guest suite, media area, or hobby space. Ceiling heights are 9 feet on the main floor and 8 feet upstairs, creating distinct spatial zones. A covered front porch (29 sq ft) and expansive rear porch (93 sq ft) provide 122 square feet of outdoor entertaining space.

The two-car front-load garage totals 462 square feet and integrates cleanly into the structure. A dedicated home office, first-floor laundry, and utility room support flexible lifestyles. The 12:12 and 9:12 roof pitches reach a maximum height of 24 ft 8 in, creating a traditional cottage profile ideal for residential neighborhoods.

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.
