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…
  • Plan to expand downstairs later—the unfinished basement matches the main-level footprint with 9-foot ceilings
  • Drawn to Craftsman style with high-quality details (Craftsman aesthetics with fireplace, covered porches)
  • Want a first-floor master suite for convenience and privacy (primary suite on main floor)
  • Love covered outdoor living—design includes front and rear covered porches (127 sq ft front, 144 sq ft rear)
  • Need a workshop or flexible basement space for hobbies or a home gym (unfinished basement, 9-foot ceilings)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ finished bedrooms immediately—this plan has only 2 bedrooms on the main level (basement is unfinished)
  • Prefer a single-level with no stairs—stairs lead to the basement for future work
  • Want a large master suite and multiple guest bedrooms on one floor (only 2 bedrooms main level)
  • Have a tight budget and don't plan to finish a basement—unfinished basement adds structural cost upfront

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Craftsman Home with Basement Potential

This Craftsman-style home delivers 1,518 square feet of main-level living with 9-foot ceilings throughout. The open-concept great room, dining, and kitchen share a unified sightline, anchored by a fireplace and a central kitchen island with eating bar. A walk-in pantry and first-floor laundry add daily convenience. The covered front and rear porches extend living space outdoors, while the 2-car garage sits discretely to the side.

The first-floor master suite includes a walk-in closet and double-vanity bathroom, leaving a second bedroom for flexibility—guest room, office, or hobby space. An unfinished 9-foot basement beneath the entire footprint provides an additional 1,518 square feet of expansion-ready space for recreation, workshops, or future bedrooms. The 8:12 roof pitch and Craftsman detailing give this 40 ft × 54 ft home distinctive character.

JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. Outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us.

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.
