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 very narrow lot — the design is just 28 ft wide
  • Want a main-floor owner's suite with sitting area (first-floor master suite with sitting area)
  • Need a compact footprint to keep build costs down (1,288 sq ft, 28 ft wide)
  • Plan to age in place — master suite and laundry on the main floor
  • Want a chef kitchen with island and walk-in pantry (kitchen island with eating bar, walk-in pantry)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-story layout — this is a two-story plan with stairs to bedrooms
  • Have a large family needing 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms
  • Require a garage — this plan has no garage
  • Want all bedrooms on the main floor — two bedrooms are upstairs

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Canyon Ridge 24603 is a 1,288 sq ft cottage-style home engineered for efficient land use on a 28-foot wide by 37-foot 4-inch deep footprint. This two-story design prioritizes a compact vertical profile with a maximum building height of 23 feet 6 inches, framed by a combination of 9:12 and 3:12 roof pitches that provide a traditional aesthetic.

The first floor encompasses 877 sq ft, centered on an open-concept core that integrates the kitchen, breakfast area, and keeping room. A 168 sq ft covered front porch provides the primary entry point, leading directly into a main-floor primary suite. This primary bedroom includes a dedicated sitting area, walk-in closet, and access to a double-vanity bathroom. The kitchen features an island with an eating bar and a walk-in pantry, supported by a conveniently located main-level laundry station.

Occupying 411 sq ft, the second floor houses two secondary bedrooms that share a full bathroom, offering a flexible configuration for a home office or guest quarters. The upper level is designed with 8-foot ceiling heights, while the first floor benefits from 9-foot ceilings that enhance the perceived volume of the main living area. An unfinished attic space provides additional storage capacity within the existing roofline.

Structural components include 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom, facilitating a high-utility layout for the total 1,288 sq ft of heated living area. The exterior design focuses on classic cottage proportions, utilizing the 8-foot to 9-foot roof slope variations to maintain a consistent massing profile across the 1,456 total sq ft structure.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, first-floor primary suite, master bedroom sitting area, open-concept keeping room, kitchen island with eating bar, walk-in pantry, covered front porch, two-story layout.

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.
