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…
  • Have a small lot and need a compact footprint (60–69 ft wide, just 1,889 sq ft)
  • Need 4 bedrooms in an efficient single-story home (four bedrooms, one floor)
  • Want outdoor entertaining with a fireplace and kitchen (rear porch with outdoor kitchen and fireplace)
  • Prefer split-bedroom privacy — master on one end, secondary bedrooms separate
  • Looking for an affordable cottage with modern convenience (gourmet island kitchen, walk-in pantry)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple stories to maximize a narrow lot — this is a single-story design
  • Want 4+ bathrooms — this plan has 2 bathrooms
  • Need a three-car garage — this plan has a two-car garage
  • Prefer a larger home over 2,000 sq ft — this plan is 1,889 sq ft
  • Want 4 finished bedrooms plus a home office — this plan offers 4 bedrooms but no dedicated office

About this plan

Compact Four-Bedroom Cottage with Outdoor Entertaining Focus

The Deer Run is a charming 1,889 sq ft cottage that delivers a one-story living experience emphasizing social interaction and outdoor entertaining. This four-bedroom design features a two-car front-load garage and slab foundation, adapted to various lot types. The exterior captures nostalgic country character with white wooden beams and rustic timber accents.

The interior centers on an expansive social core where the great room and gourmet island kitchen flow naturally into one another. The kitchen stands out with a walk-in pantry and high-end cabinetry. The first-floor master suite is a private retreat with a lavish master bath and spacious walk-in closet, while a split-bedroom layout ensures secondary bedrooms maintain their own privacy. A dedicated mudroom adds practicality. Outdoor living takes priority with a broad rear porch equipped with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace, ideal for weekend gatherings.

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.
