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—the design is just 28 feet wide by 65 feet 4 inches deep
  • Want a first-floor master suite with walk-in closet and private bath
  • Appreciate generous ceiling height for brightness and openness (10-foot ceilings)
  • Need three bedrooms in a compact footprint (1,295 square feet with three beds)
  • Value a walk-in pantry for organized storage and meal prep
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Require two full bathrooms for all bedrooms—secondary bedrooms share one bath
  • Need a two-car garage or workshop space (single 1-car garage only)
  • Want all bedrooms completely private (secondary bedrooms share a bath)
  • Prefer a two-story layout for larger total footprint

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Cottage Charm for Narrow Lots with Generous Ceiling Height

The Rose Cottage is a single-story design spanning 1,295 square feet, engineered for narrow lots at just 28 feet wide by 65 feet 4 inches deep. Ten-foot ceilings and a dramatic 10:12 roof pitch create distinctive architectural character while maximizing interior volume. The open-concept great room with fireplace flows directly into a kitchen featuring a central island with eating bar and dedicated walk-in pantry.

A split-bedroom layout separates the first-floor master suite—complete with walk-in closet and private bath—from two secondary bedrooms that share a full bathroom. A powder room serves guests without entry to the bedroom wing, while first-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. A 1-car front-load garage fits the narrow footprint, and the front covered porch enhances curb appeal.

Built on slab or crawlspace foundation with 2x4 framing, this cottage plan includes one half bathroom and maintains efficient, livable space across 1,200 square feet.

  • Exterior elevations (all sides)

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.
