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 urban lot (just 28 feet wide)
  • Plan to age in place (first-floor master suite, laundry, and all living on one floor)
  • Want cottage character with vaulted ceilings and covered porches (58 sq ft front, 49 sq ft rear)
  • Work from home and need a dedicated office space separate from main living areas
  • Prefer split-bedroom layout for privacy (primary suite isolated from secondary bedrooms)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms (this plan has 3)
  • Want a modern or contemporary style (this is cottage-themed)
  • Have a lot shallower than 50 feet (this plan requires 58+ feet of depth)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Cottage-Style Home with Vaulted Ceilings and Dual Porches

This charming cottage-style house plan fits a 28-foot-wide footprint, making it well-suited for narrow lots while offering 1,395 square feet of heated living area. The single-story design emphasizes classical proportions with a 6:12 roof pitch and 19-foot-6-inch building height. Dual outdoor connections include a 58-square-foot covered front porch and a 49-square-foot rear porch for extended seasonal use.

The interior centers on an open-concept core with vaulted ceilings that rise above standard nine-foot heights, increasing vertical volume and natural light throughout the great room. A kitchen island and walk-in pantry anchor the culinary zone, while a dedicated home office provides a quiet separate workspace. The split-bedroom layout isolates the primary suite for privacy.

The main-floor master suite includes a private bath and walk-in closet, while two secondary bedrooms occupy the opposite side. A centrally located laundry room serves as a logical transition point for household tasks. Constructed on a slab foundation with stick roof framing, the narrow 28-foot width and 58-foot-6-inch depth allow this plan to fit effectively on constrained urban parcels without compromising the three-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration.

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.
