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…
  • Building on a narrow or infill lot under 40 feet wide (24-foot width)
  • Empty nesters or couples wanting a low-maintenance single-story footprint (one story, 900+ sq ft)
  • First-time builders with a tight budget seeking efficient, classic design (Craftsman style, 2 bedrooms)
  • Prefer open-concept living with a central gathering space (great room with kitchen integration)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ bedrooms on day one (this plan has 2 bedrooms)
  • Require a two-car garage or substantial storage (no garage bays listed)
  • Want a larger main-floor footprint (just 24 feet wide and 921 sq ft total)
  • Seek a formal dining room separate from the kitchen (open floor plan only)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Compact Craftsman for Narrow Lots

This Craftsman house plan delivers 921 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a narrow 24-foot-wide footprint, making it ideal for infill lots and constrained urban properties. The one-story layout centers on an open-concept great room with 9-foot ceilings, anchored by a kitchen island with eating bar. A covered front porch adds character and outdoor transition space.

Two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, a space-conscious arrangement that accommodates families or a home office setup. First-floor laundry keeps daily routines accessible, while the crawl space foundation suits various soil conditions. The 24-by-53-foot footprint avoids wasted square footage, delivering classic Craftsman style without excess.

  • 9-foot ceilings enhance the sense of volume in 921 square feet

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.
