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 narrow lot under 40 feet wide — this design is just 20 ft in width
  • Need 3 bedrooms with a master suite upstairs (second-floor master suite with walk-in closet)
  • Want an open-concept main floor for entertaining (879 sq ft first floor with kitchen island and fireplace)
  • Plan future expansion — unfinished basement with 9-foot ceilings offers growth potential
  • Love French Country architecture (9:12 roof pitch, classic vertical profile)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-level layout with no stairs — this is a two-story design with stairs to bedrooms
  • Want a master suite on the main floor — the master is located on the second floor
  • Prefer a compact footprint to minimize build costs (1,703 sq ft heated plus unfinished basement)
  • Have a wide lot over 40 feet — this narrow design is optimized for tight widths

About this plan

French Country Narrow House Plan is a masterclass in spatial efficiency, specifically engineered for narrow lots with a 20-foot width and 49-foot 4-inch depth. Spanning 1,703 square feet of heated living space, this two-story design optimizes its footprint by vertically stacking private quarters while maintaining an open-concept social core on the ground level.

The first floor covers 879 square feet, anchored by a central kitchen island and an integrated eating bar that bridges the gap between the kitchen and the family room. By eliminating unnecessary hallways, the layout promotes visual continuity, with a fireplace serving as the primary architectural focal point. A conveniently placed powder room and a dedicated laundry area complete the main level, ensuring the floor plan remains practical for daily routines.

Occupying 824 square feet, the second level provides a private retreat for the household. The master suite is configured with a walk-in closet and a private bathroom, separated from two additional bedrooms that share a full bathroom. This arrangement creates a clear division between high-traffic social zones and quieter sleeping quarters, enhancing the overall comfort of the home.

Structural integrity is achieved through 2x4 wall framing and a 9:12 roof pitch, which contributes to the home's classic French Country silhouette and a maximum building height of 28 feet 6 inches. The inclusion of a full, unfinished basement with 9-foot ceilings provides substantial room for future growth, allowing for the addition of recreation space or storage that adapts to long-term needs.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, narrow lot design, open-concept floor plan, kitchen island with eating bar, fireplace, walk-in closet, unfinished basement with 9-foot ceilings, first-floor laundry.

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.
