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…
  • Work from home and need a dedicated home office with privacy (home office included on main floor)
  • Love outdoor entertaining with covered spaces on multiple sides (covered front and rear porches plus screened porch)
  • Seeking a single-story layout with no stairs and low maintenance (one-story, slab foundation)
  • Want a first-floor primary suite and laundry for easier living (both on main floor)
  • Working with a compact, efficient lot width of 45 feet
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than 3 bedrooms—this plan has only 2 secondary bedrooms plus the master suite
  • Require a larger footprint—the design spans just 1,600 square feet across both floors
  • Prefer a basement for storage or future expansion—this plan uses a slab foundation only
  • Want significantly more garage space—the 2-car garage provides 513 square feet

About this plan

One-Story Modern Farmhouse with Open Living and Outdoor Porches

This Modern Farmhouse house plan delivers 1,619 square feet across a single level, designed for a 45-foot-wide lot with efficient slab-foundation construction. The open-concept great room anchors the home, connecting seamlessly to the kitchen and dining areas while maintaining sight lines throughout the main living zone. Nine-foot ceilings enhance the sense of space across the compact 1,600 square foot footprint.

The split-bedroom layout provides privacy by positioning the first-floor master suite away from two secondary bedrooms. Built-in features support daily living: a dedicated home office for remote work, mudroom for transitions, and first-floor laundry for convenience. Three generous outdoor connections—a 176 square foot covered front porch, screened porch, and 87 square foot covered rear porch—extend the home into the landscape.

A 2-car front-load garage provides 513 square feet of storage and vehicle space, with direct mudroom access to the interior. The home is constructed with 2x6 exterior wall framing on a slab foundation, reaching a maximum height of 23 feet 11 inches.

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.
