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…
  • Have a growing or active family needing multiple bedrooms and a game room (3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, game room)
  • Want a master suite on the main floor with high-end finishes (first-floor master with lavish bath and walk-in closet)
  • Need a two-car garage and practical first-floor laundry (2-car garage, main-floor laundry room)
  • Entertaining frequently—need both covered porches and flexible recreation space (front and rear porches, game room)
  • Value organized kitchen storage (walk-in pantry plus island)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Want a single-story layout—this is a two-story design with bedrooms upstairs
  • Need more than 2 garage bays—this plan has a 2-car garage
  • Working with a narrow lot under 40 ft wide—the design needs 40–49 ft of width
  • Prefer a basement—the foundation is slab only
  • Seeking a compact, affordable footprint—at 2,025 sq ft, this is a larger two-story build

About this plan

Two-Story Cottage with Two-Car Garage and First-Floor Master

Aspen Retreat reimagines traditional cottage living in 2,025 sq ft across two stories, anchored by a two-car front-load garage and slab foundation. The first-floor master suite with lavish bath and walk-in closet provides a private owner's retreat, while a voluminous open-concept great room and gourmet kitchen with island and walk-in pantry create the social core. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath serve families flexibly.

Upstairs bedrooms and a game room adapt to children, guests, or active hobbies, while dedicated first-floor laundry, mud room, and walk-in pantry support everyday efficiency. Covered front and rear porches extend outdoor living and entertaining space year-round. The design balances cottage charm with modern convenience, offering comfortable living for families seeking a mix of private sanctuary and shared gathering space.

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.
