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…
  • Want a first-floor master suite separated from secondary bedrooms (first floor master, private bath, walk-in closet)
  • Working with a narrow lot at just 30 ft wide
  • Building on a sloping site where a daylight basement adds usable space
  • Want a kitchen built for gathering (kitchen island, eating bar, wall pantry)
  • Love covered outdoor living (covered front porch and covered back porch)
  • Need storage or future expansion room without adding to the home's footprint (daylight basement)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need every bedroom on one level — secondary bedrooms are on the daylight basement level
  • Want a large garage for 3+ vehicles — this plan has a 2-car garage
  • Need a larger home — this plan is 2,045 sq ft total across two levels
  • Building on a flat lot with no need for a basement design

About this plan

Organized around a daylight basement, this 2,045 sq. ft. cottage house plan uses its sloping-site design to expand the home's living possibilities while maintaining a welcoming main level. A first-floor master suite anchors the primary living spaces, while the lower level introduces additional room for bedrooms, storage, and future flexibility without increasing the home's overall footprint. The main floor centers on an open floor plan where the keeping/family room flows into the kitchen, highlighted by a central island, eating bar, and wall pantry for convenient meal preparation and gathering. A formal dining room offers a dedicated setting for shared meals, while the nearby utility room and first-floor laundry support household organization. The private primary suite includes a walk-in closet, double vanity, and private bath, creating a comfortable retreat separated from the secondary bedrooms below. A covered front porch welcomes visitors, while the front-load two-car garage provides direct access to the interior. Built on a daylight basement foundation with durable 2x6 wall framing and truss roof construction, this cottage design balances efficient use of space with opportunities for storage and future expansion on the lower level.

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.
