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…
  • Working with a narrow 40-foot-wide lot (40 ft wide by 56 ft deep footprint)
  • Want a home office for remote work without sacrificing living space (dedicated home office room)
  • Need future expansion potential — unfinished basement allows for additional rooms and square footage
  • Planning to age in place with single-floor living — all living functions on one level with 9-foot ceilings
  • Seeking a manageable footprint with a spacious garage (3-car garage in only 1,471 sq ft)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than 2 bedrooms on day one — this plan has 2 finished bedrooms
  • Want a two-story design — this is a one-story ranch
  • Prefer a minimal garage footprint — 473 sq ft 3-car garage takes significant lot space
  • Looking for an open lot with room for major expansion — the 40-foot width limits side or front additions

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Compact Single-Story with Split Bedrooms and Basement Potential

This Prairie-style ranch home delivers 1,471 square feet of heated living on a 40-foot-wide by 56-foot-deep footprint, making it ideal for smaller or irregularly shaped lots. Dual covered porches—a 53-square-foot front entry and a 103-square-foot rear porch—frame the home with welcoming outdoor transitions. The 3-car front-load garage provides 473 square feet of storage without dominating the front elevation.

The open-concept interior centers on a kitchen with an island that flows into a keeping room anchored by a fireplace. A walk-in pantry, dedicated home office, and mudroom complete the main living zone. The split-bedroom configuration places the primary suite apart from the secondary bedroom, ensuring privacy. Both bedrooms include walk-in closets, and all first-floor spaces feature 9-foot ceilings for a sense of spaciousness in a compact layout.

An unfinished basement provides significant expansion potential for future bedrooms, storage, or finished recreational space. Built on a slab-ready foundation and designed for long-term single-level living, this plan balances efficiency with comfort.

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.
