About this plan

A 2,499-square-foot single-story layout pairs a broad 62′2″ width with a side-load two-car garage, keeping vehicle access along the side while preserving the front elevation for the covered porch and foyer. The one-level arrangement also incorporates a 421-square-foot bonus room, giving this house plan an additional upper-level space without changing its primary living floor.

Beyond the foyer, the open floor plan connects the great room, breakfast area, kitchen, and formal dining room into a sequence of shared spaces. An eating bar extends the kitchen toward the main living area, while the fireplace establishes a focal point in the great room. The split-bedroom arrangement places the first-floor master suite apart from the secondary bedrooms, with a private master bath and walk-in closet. A home office/study and main-floor laundry add dedicated spaces along the circulation path.

The 467-square-foot porch area includes a covered front porch and grilling deck, extending the living environment outdoors. The side-load two-car garage provides sheltered parking, while slab, crawl-space, basement, or daylight-basement foundations accommodate different site conditions. 👉 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.
