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…
  • Have a narrow lot under 40 feet wide — this design is just 29 feet across
  • Need 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms without a large footprint (1,624 sq ft total)
  • Want a first-floor master suite for accessibility (primary suite on main level)
  • Prefer a covered outdoor entry and rear porch (132 sq ft front porch, 26 sq ft rear porch)
  • Like a kitchen with an island and walk-in pantry for serious cooking
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-level layout — this is a two-story plan with stairs to the upper bedrooms
  • Want a garage for vehicle storage — this plan has no garage
  • Require a very compact footprint to minimize build costs (1,624 sq ft across two floors)
  • Prefer all bedrooms on the main floor — two bedrooms are upstairs

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Craftsman Style 1,624 Sq Ft 4-Bedroom House Plan occupies a compact 29-foot width and 49-foot depth footprint, making it an efficient choice for narrow lots. The exterior features a 132-square-foot covered front porch that transitions directly into the primary living zone, while a 26-square-foot rear porch adds exterior access. With an 8:12 roof pitch and a maximum building height of 24 feet 9 inches, the structure maintains a classic profile while maximizing usable space within the 1,624 square feet of heated living area.

The first floor spans 1,211 square feet and prioritizes a central keeping and family room that connects to the kitchen and breakfast area. A kitchen island and walk-in pantry support food preparation, while the 9-foot ceilings enhance the vertical volume of the open-concept core. This level houses two bedrooms, including a primary suite equipped with a double-vanity bath and a walk-in closet, ensuring a private living zone on the main level.

The second floor contributes 413 square feet to the layout, featuring 8-foot ceiling heights that maintain a consistent scale. This upper level contains two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing a flexible arrangement for secondary living, guest accommodation, or a dedicated home office. The distribution of rooms across two levels allows for clear separation between the primary living areas and the private sleeping quarters.

Structural integrity is defined by an 8:12 roof pitch and a total footprint of 1,782 square feet including porches. The design emphasizes natural light penetration through large window placements and an open floor plan that minimizes interior partitions. This two-story configuration provides a practical solution for families requiring a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout within a manageable square footage.

Key Features: 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1,624 sq ft total heated area, first-floor primary suite, 9-foot main level ceilings, kitchen island, walk-in pantry, covered front and rear porches, 29-foot width, 8:12 roof pitch.

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.
