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 large family or frequently host guests (4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms)
  • Need workshop or storage space for 3+ vehicles (3-car front-load garage)
  • Want a home office plus multiple bedrooms (dedicated home office with 4 bedrooms)
  • Plan to age in place — master suite, laundry, and living all on the main floor
  • Love vaulted ceilings and open living (11-foot vaulted ceilings in keeping room)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Working with a narrow lot under 40 feet — this design needs 42 feet of width
  • Want a compact footprint to keep build costs down (1,700 sq ft across a 42-by-62-foot footprint)
  • Prefer a two-story design — this is a single-story ranch plan
  • Need a small garage or no garage — this plan includes a spacious 3-car garage

About this plan

Elegant 4-Bedroom Cottage Home is a single-story residence providing 1,764 square feet of heated living area. Designed for a 42-foot width and 62-foot depth, this plan utilizes a 6:12 roof pitch to achieve a total building height of 20 feet. The exterior is defined by a 37-square-foot covered front porch that provides an entry point into the main living core.

The interior architecture centers on an open-concept layout where the keeping room and kitchen share a unified sightline. Vaulted ceilings reaching 11 feet in the primary living zones enhance the sense of volume, while 9-foot ceilings are maintained throughout the remainder of the floor plan. A kitchen island serves as the primary workspace, supported by a dedicated walk-in pantry for organized storage.

A split-bedroom configuration separates the primary suite from the three secondary bedrooms to maintain privacy. The primary suite includes a private bathroom with a double vanity and a walk-in closet. The remaining three bedrooms share two full bathrooms, with a mudroom and laundry area positioned for utility and direct access to the exterior.

Construction specifications include a 3-car front-load garage totaling 621 square feet, which integrates into the home’s footprint without compromising the interior square footage. The structure is designed for efficiency, utilizing a single-story ranch profile that prioritizes accessibility and clear circulation between the social and private zones of the home.

Key Features: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1,764 sq ft living area, 3-car front-load garage, 11-foot vaulted ceilings, split-bedroom layout, walk-in pantry, kitchen island, covered front porch, 6:12 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.
