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…
  • Working with a sloped lot — designed to take advantage of elevation change with a full walkout basement
  • Need expansion space without a second story — 1,614 sq ft unfinished basement ready for future bedrooms or recreation
  • Want a compact main-floor footprint (49 ft 11 in x 40 ft 11 in) paired with additional total square footage
  • Plan to age in place with main-floor living — first-floor master, laundry, and great room all accessible
  • Love outdoor living — combined 580 sq ft of covered porch and deck space
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a flat lot without slope — this plan is optimized for walkout basement access and hillside sites
  • Need 4+ finished bedrooms immediately — only 3 on the main floor; 2 basement bedrooms are unfinished
  • Prefer a compact build to minimize cost — 1,614 sq ft unfinished basement adds foundation and excavation expense
  • Want a two-story home with bedrooms upstairs — this is a single-story main level

About this plan

Craftsman Cottage with Walkout Basement — Perfect for Sloped Lots

The Lakeside Retreat Craftsman encompasses 1,614 sq ft of main-level living plus a 1,614 sq ft walkout basement, totaling 3,928 sq ft of gross area. This one-story design sits on a compact 49 ft 11 in by 40 ft 11 in footprint, engineered for sloped terrain. The main floor centers on an open-concept great room with 9-foot ceilings, a kitchen island with eating bar, and a walk-in pantry, opening directly to a 213 sq ft covered rear porch and 367 sq ft deck for seamless outdoor access.

A split-bedroom layout isolates the first-floor master suite, complete with a double-vanity bathroom and walk-in closet, from two secondary bedrooms. A mudroom and first-floor laundry streamline daily flow. The unfinished 1,614 sq ft walkout basement mirrors the main floor, offering immediate expansion potential for additional bedrooms, a workshop, or recreation space without raising the roof. Vaulted ceilings and a covered front porch complete the Craftsman aesthetic.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,614 sq ft main level plus 1,614 sq ft unfinished walkout basement, split-bedroom layout, first-floor master, kitchen island, 9-foot ceilings, covered porches and deck, walk-in closet.

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.
