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 single-story, low-maintenance layout without stairs (one-story ranch)
  • Need a flexible extra room that works as a guest space, home office, or study (dedicated flex room at front of home)
  • Have a narrow lot and need an efficient footprint (36 ft wide, optimized for standard urban or suburban parcels)
  • Prefer laundry access directly from the master suite for convenience (laundry access from master closet)
  • Need a 2-car garage for a small household or secondary vehicles (2-car front-facing garage, 452 sq ft)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than one primary bedroom — this plan has one main bedroom and one flex room (not a guaranteed second bedroom)
  • Require multiple full baths for a large household — this plan has two bathrooms total for one primary bedroom
  • Want a sprawling footprint — the 36-foot width keeps the home compact and narrow

About this plan

Compact One-Bedroom with Flex Room and Efficient Layout

This efficient one-story home spans 1,136 sq ft on a compact 36-foot-wide footprint (48 ft deep), making it well-suited for narrow lots. The single-level design features eight-foot ceilings and reaches a maximum height of 22 ft, delivering straightforward construction and site integration. The traditional aesthetic is enhanced by an 8:12 roof pitch and clean exterior lines.

The open-concept living core centers on a kitchen with a center island and walk-in pantry, with nine-foot ceilings that enhance the perceived volume. A fireplace anchors the great room, while a formal dining area maintains traditional room separation. A rear-facing primary suite includes an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and direct laundry access from the master for convenient household circulation.

A flex room at the front of the home provides a private space that adapts to your needs — guest room, home office, or secondary bedroom. The 2-car garage (452 sq ft) connects via a mudroom that serves as a transition zone, keeping the main living areas organized. This plan works well for singles, couples, or anyone seeking an affordable, low-maintenance footprint.

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.
