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 36 ft wide
  • Want a compact footprint to keep build costs down (751 sq ft heated area)
  • Plan to age in place — master suite, laundry, and living all on the main floor
  • Need a flexible second bedroom for a home office or guest room (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom)
  • Seeking a starter or downsizer home with low maintenance (single-story cottage)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a large family or need 3+ bedrooms — this plan has only 2 bedrooms
  • Need 2+ bathrooms — this design includes 1 bathroom only
  • Want a 2-car garage — this plan has a 1-car garage
  • Require significant square footage for entertaining — this is 751 sq ft total

About this plan

Suncrest 24601 is a one-story craftsman cottage designed with 751 square feet of heated living space, optimized for a 36-foot width and 33-foot depth footprint. This compact house plan prioritizes efficient interior circulation, making it a viable solution for narrow lots or infill projects requiring a smaller vertical profile with a maximum building height of 14 feet 9 inches.

The interior layout centers on an open-concept living and kitchen area that maximizes sightlines throughout the primary zone. A first-floor master suite provides immediate access to a walk-in closet, while a secondary bedroom offers flexibility for use as a guest room or a dedicated home office. The inclusion of a first-floor laundry room centralizes household tasks, supporting a simplified living arrangement within the 751 square foot envelope.

Structural specifications include 8-foot ceilings throughout the main level and a 6:12 roof pitch, which defines the exterior aesthetic and roof geometry. The design incorporates a 20 square foot covered front porch, providing a transition into the main living areas while maintaining the traditional craftsman cottage silhouette.

Practicality is integrated through a front-load 1-car garage, which adds 242 square feet to the structure and provides direct access to the interior. The total area of the plan, inclusive of the garage and porch, reaches 1,013 square feet, ensuring that the building footprint remains manageable for smaller residential sites while providing necessary storage and utility space.

Key Features: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, first-floor master suite, open-concept living area, front-load 1-car garage, walk-in closet, first-floor laundry, 6:12 roof pitch, 8-foot ceilings, covered front porch, craftsman cottage aesthetic.

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.
