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…
  • Plan to age in place with the master suite and laundry on the main floor (first-floor primary suite with dedicated first-floor laundry)
  • Work from home and need an office separate from the main living zones (home office situated near entry on main floor)
  • Working with a narrow lot under 50 ft wide — this design is just 39'4" in width
  • Want upstairs bedrooms with a two-story great room connection (three secondary bedrooms plus bonus room on second floor overlooking main living area)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ finished bedrooms all ready on move-in — this plan has 3 bedrooms plus unfinished bonus room upstairs
  • Prefer a single-level home with no stairs — this is a two-story design with secondary bedrooms upstairs
  • Want a spacious main level for entertaining — the 1,474 sq ft main floor is divided between living, office, and sleeping areas

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Two-Story Layout with First-Floor Primary Suite

This New American farmhouse home plan offers 2,268 sq ft across two stories, with a narrow 39'4" width ideal for urban or constrained lots. The main floor features a centralized great room with 9-foot ceilings and fireplace, opening to the kitchen and breakfast area. The primary suite remains on the first floor for accessibility, supported by dedicated laundry and a mud room transition from the rear-load garage.

A dedicated home office near the entry suits work-from-home arrangements, while the second floor houses three additional bedrooms and a flexible bonus room with consistent 9-foot ceilings. The two-story grand room creates visual connectivity between levels without sacrificing privacy in the upper sleeping quarters. The rear-load 2-car garage maintains a clean front elevation, and 381 sq ft of porch and terrace space extends outdoor living options.

  • First-floor primary suite with nearby laundry for convenient daily routines
  • Home office on main floor for professional work-from-home setup
  • Three bedrooms plus bonus room upstairs with open overlook to great room
  • Rear-load garage preserves attractive front facade

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.
