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 modest lot or narrow width — the home is just 40 feet wide (1,550 sq ft)
  • Want single-level living with no stairs to navigate (one-story ranch layout)
  • Need flexibility to work from home or host guests (dedicated flex room in addition to 1 bedroom)
  • Seeking a fireplace and open floor plan connecting kitchen, dining, and great room
  • Plan to age in place — master suite, laundry, and all living areas on main floor
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 2+ bedrooms right away — this plan has 1 finished bedroom plus a flex room (unfinished count)
  • Require a large family home — 1,550 sq ft is designed for a couple, downsizer, or small household
  • Want a two-story layout for vertical separation — this is a single-level plan
  • Need a formal home office with permanent full-size door — the flex room is adaptable, not dedicated

About this plan

French Country Charm in a Single-Story Package

This French Country house plan combines European elegance with efficient single-level living in just 1,550 square feet. Arranged across one story, the home features a thoughtfully organized layout centered around a great room with fireplace, flowing into a kitchen island and breakfast area. The formal dining room provides an additional setting for entertaining, while a dedicated flex room adds flexibility for a home office, guest room, or additional living space.

The first-floor master suite includes walk-in closets and a private bath with dual vanity sinks, ensuring privacy and comfort. A second full bathroom serves guests and residents alike. Practical amenities include first-floor laundry, a patio for outdoor living, and a two-car garage with 560 square feet of storage and vehicle space. Built with 2x4 wall framing on a slab foundation, the home measures 40 feet wide by 58 feet deep, with 9-foot ceilings throughout.

JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. Outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us.

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.
