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 all three bedrooms on one level (single-story, 3 bedrooms with no stairs)
  • Need a compact footprint with a single-car garage (1,341 sq ft with 1-car front-load garage)
  • Love open-concept living with a defined breakfast area (kitchen island, eating bar, and breakfast zone)
  • Prefer a main-floor master suite without complexity (first-floor primary suite with walk-in closet and private bath)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a 2-car garage—this plan includes only a 1-car front-load garage
  • Want a large floor plan—this is a compact 1,341 sq ft
  • Need separate formal and casual dining—the formal dining room opens to the open-concept core

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

This Craftsman cottage-style house plan delivers 1,341 square feet on a single story, designed with a 49-foot 8-inch width and 39-foot depth. The exterior features a covered front porch, a 6:12 roof pitch, and a maximum height of 16 feet 9 inches, creating an inviting neighborhood presence while maintaining a modest footprint.

The interior layout centers on an open-concept core that unifies the kitchen, dining, and family room. The kitchen serves as the functional anchor, featuring a center island, integrated eating bar, and dedicated breakfast area. A formal dining room accommodates traditional meal service, while 8-foot ceiling heights provide consistent vertical scale throughout. The primary suite includes a double vanity master bath and walk-in closet, creating a private owner's retreat on the main floor.

Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom serve the needs of families or multiuse spaces without excess square footage. Built on a slab foundation with 2x4 framing, the home prioritizes ease of construction and maintenance. A 235-square-foot front-load single-car garage provides vehicle storage and direct interior access, keeping the front elevation clean and compact while preserving exterior curb appeal.

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.
