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 narrow lot under 40 feet wide (24-foot width)
  • Want a compact, efficient floor plan under 1,000 sq ft to keep build costs down
  • Need a one-story layout with no stairs (single-story ranch)
  • Seeking a classic Craftsman exterior with modern open-concept living
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than 2 bedrooms for a growing family
  • Want a master suite separate from secondary bedrooms (Jack and Jill bathroom shares space)
  • Require a garage or carport (no garage bays included)
  • Prefer multiple full bathrooms (only 1 bathroom in the plan)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

The Creek Side house plan is a compact Craftsman design providing 921 square feet of heated living space on a narrow 24-foot width footprint. Optimized for smaller lots, this one-story design features an 8:12 roof pitch and a 112-square-foot covered front porch that anchors the street-facing elevation. The total building footprint, including the porch, covers 1,033 square feet, maintaining a maximum building height of 15 feet 8 inches.

The interior architecture centers on an open-concept great room, where 9-foot ceilings enhance the sense of volume within the 921-square-foot layout. A central fireplace serves as the primary focal point, while the kitchen integrates a central island with an eating bar. This configuration maintains direct sightlines between the living zone and the food preparation area, ensuring the floor plan remains efficient and accessible.

Two bedrooms are located within the home, utilizing a Jack and Jill bathroom to provide a shared, space-conscious layout. This arrangement allows for a private bedroom configuration while supporting a versatile use of space, whether for a secondary bedroom or a home office. A walk-in closet is included in one of the bedrooms, and a first-floor laundry area is situated to maintain clear circulation throughout the home.

Constructed on a crawl space foundation, the home utilizes 2x4 wall framing and stick roof framing for structural integrity. The 24-foot wide by 53-foot 2-inch deep dimensions allow the structure to fit on constrained parcels or narrow infill lots. This plan prioritizes a rational, space-saving design that avoids wasted square footage while delivering a classic Craftsman exterior profile.

Key Features: 921 sq ft heated area, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 8:12 roof pitch, 9-foot ceilings, open-concept great room, central kitchen island, walk-in closet, first-floor laundry, crawl space foundation, 24 ft width.

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.
