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 lot under 50 feet wide (design is 40 ft wide)
  • Want a first-floor primary suite for accessibility (master on main level)
  • Need flexible space for a home office plus guest bedrooms (flex room plus dual upstairs layouts)
  • Seek dramatic interior volume without expanding the footprint (two-story grand room)
  • Prefer customizable bedroom layout to match household needs (two distinct second-floor configurations available)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-story layout with no stairs (two-story design required)
  • Want all bedrooms on the main floor (only primary suite on first floor; 2-3 bedrooms upstairs)
  • Require a 3+ car garage (two-car garage only)
  • Prefer a large footprint for spreading out (just 40 ft wide, compact depth)

About this plan

Modern Transitional with First-Floor Primary Suite and Two-Story Grand Room

This two-story modern transitional home packs 1,872 square feet into a compact 40-foot by 48-foot 8-inch footprint, ideal for narrow urban or suburban lots. A striking two-story grand room anchors the main floor, which spans 1,324 square feet and features 10-foot ceilings that enhance vertical volume. The kitchen includes a walk-in pantry and flows seamlessly into the keeping room and first-floor primary suite.

The primary bedroom separates from secondary sleeping quarters and includes a flex room ideal for a home office or study. The second floor offers 548 square feet with 9-foot ceilings and dual layout configurations: buyers may choose a layout emphasizing a large loft with two bedrooms, or one prioritizing additional bedroom and storage capacity. Either configuration includes full bathrooms and efficient circulation. A 2-car garage and covered front porch complete the design, with complex 8:12 and 14:12 roof pitches reaching 26 feet 4 inches in height.

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.
