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…
  • Want a compact, manageable footprint (1,209 sq ft across 38 ft wide × 54 ft deep)
  • Plan to age in place — master suite and laundry on the main floor (single-story ranch)
  • Appreciate an unfinished basement for future expansion or storage (foundation allows for additions)
  • Need a 2-car garage with modest square footage (461 sq ft front-load garage)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3 or more bedrooms — this plan has 2 bedrooms
  • Want a large footprint for entertaining (just 1,209 sq ft total)
  • Require a finished basement immediately — this plan includes unfinished basement space

About this plan

Cozy Two-Bedroom Ranch with Efficient Design

This Traditional ranch house plan delivers 1,209 square feet of single-story living on a compact 38-foot-wide, 54-foot-4-inch-deep footprint. The open-concept core integrates the great room, kitchen, and breakfast area around a central island, with a fireplace serving as the primary focal point. Nine-foot ceilings maximize the sense of space despite the compact square footage.

A split-bedroom layout ensures privacy, with the master suite positioned away from the secondary bedroom. The master includes a private bathroom and walk-in closet. First-floor laundry keeps household tasks accessible. The front-load 2-car garage provides direct interior access.

Built on an unfinished basement, this home allows for future expansion, additional storage, or utility space as needs evolve. Standard 2x4 wall framing, a 6:12 and 8:12 roof pitch, and a straightforward design keep construction efficient and maintenance minimal. This plan suits buyers who prioritize simplicity and accessibility in a manageable footprint.

JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. Outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us.

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.
