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…
  • Love covered outdoor living and entertaining—over 1,050 sq ft of screened porch and grilling terrace (screened porch, grilling terrace, covered front and back porches)
  • Want a master suite on the main floor with laundry access and private bath (first-floor master suite with walk-in closet and double vanity)
  • Need a home office while raising a family—dedicated space without disrupting main living areas (home office/study plus 3 additional bedrooms)
  • Prefer a single story but need 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths (one-story ranch with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1 half bath)
  • Work with a very narrow lot—the design is just up to 39 ft wide (width up to 39 feet)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a compact footprint to keep build costs down (3,236 sq ft across one story)
  • Want a main-floor owner's suite with minimum outdoor space—this plan centers on extensive covered porches and patios
  • Have a shallow lot under 50 ft deep—this design needs 70–79 ft of depth

About this plan

Outdoor Living Meets Efficient Design

This 3,236 sq ft house plan brings outdoor entertaining to the forefront, with a screened porch connected to an expansive grilling terrace that together span over 1,050 sq ft. The side-entry garage keeps vehicle access out of the primary façade, allowing the covered front porch to define the home's architectural presence from the street.

The foyer opens into a spacious great room centered around a fireplace, with an open floor plan maintaining direct connections to the kitchen and adjoining living areas. A large kitchen island, eating bar, and walk-in pantry support efficient meal preparation, while the formal dining room offers a separate setting for gatherings. The first-floor master suite includes a private bath with double vanity, walk-in closet, and direct laundry access. Three additional bedrooms and a dedicated home office provide distinct spaces for family life, guests, or remote work.

Built with 2x4 wall framing and stick roof construction, the home prioritizes indoor-outdoor living with 1,052 sq ft of covered porch space. The two-car side-load garage, covered front porch, screened porch, and grilling terrace combine to create a layout suited for both everyday living and entertaining.

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.
