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 home office or dedicated study (home office/study included, separated from common areas)
  • Require a 3-car garage for multiple vehicles or hobby space (736 sq ft 3-car front-load garage)
  • Want a split-bedroom layout for privacy — secondary bedrooms away from the primary suite
  • Plan to age in place — master suite, laundry, and living areas all on the main floor
  • Seeking 9-foot ceilings throughout for an open, modern feel (consistent ceiling height on main level)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 only
  • Prefer a two-story layout with upstairs bedrooms (this is a single-story ranch)
  • Want a compact footprint under 50 ft — this design requires 54 ft of width
  • Need a slab or crawlspace foundation — this plan is designed for a basement

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

This 1,603 square foot single-story house plan spans 54 feet wide by 51 feet deep, featuring a split-bedroom layout and a 3-car garage sized at 736 square feet. The open-concept core combines a kitchen with island, keeping room, and dining area around a central fireplace, all with 9-foot ceiling heights.

The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private bathroom, positioned separately from two secondary bedrooms that share a full bathroom on the opposite wing. A dedicated home office or study provides a quiet zone for remote work, away from common gathering spaces. First-floor laundry and a mudroom manage household circulation, connecting the garage to the main living quarters.

The design sits on a basement foundation with an 8:12 roof pitch, reaching a maximum building height of 24 feet 2 inches. A 42 square foot porch provides entry definition. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage, this plan balances vehicle and storage capacity with versatile interior space suited to families requiring workspace or multi-vehicle accommodation.

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.
