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 single-story layout with no stairs (one-story ranch plan)
  • Need a main-floor master suite separated from the other bedrooms (first floor master suite with walk-in closet)
  • Love covered outdoor living on both ends of the house (149 sf front covered porch and 144 sf screened back porch)
  • Want a dedicated formal dining room with deck access (formal dining room opens to 136 sf back deck)
  • Working with a modest lot footprint (54 ft wide by 42 ft deep)
  • Want flexibility on foundation type (slab or crawl space)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need enclosed garage parking — this plan has no garage bays listed
  • Have a large family or need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3
  • Want a two-story layout for separation between living areas — this is a single-story plan
  • Need a wide footprint for a larger building envelope — this design is only 54 ft wide

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

An octagonal window punctuates the Rae's front gable, a rustic country detail crowning a wraparound-scaled 149-square-foot front porch beneath an 8/12 pitched roof. At 1,620 square feet, this single-story plan pairs siding and brick with a 144-square-foot screened back porch, giving the design covered outdoor space on both ends of the house.

Inside, the foyer opens toward a large family room where a fireplace anchors the main gathering space, while the formal dining room breaks off separately with direct access to the 136-square-foot back deck. The kitchen keeps a washer/dryer closet within reach, folding laundry into the daily workflow rather than tucking it away. The first-floor master suite closes off privately with its own bath and walk-in closet, while bedrooms two and three sit together on the opposite side of the plan.

Built on 2x4 stud framing with stick roof construction, the Rae balances a formal dining room with casual porch living front and back. Three bedrooms and two full baths make it a practical fit for a growing household. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.

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.
