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 — first-floor master suite, laundry, and living spaces all on the main floor
  • Want a chef kitchen with organized storage (walk-in pantry, kitchen island, eating bar)
  • Need flexible future space — loft and unfinished basement allow expansion as needs evolve (554 sq ft upstairs, 441+ sq ft basement)
  • Working with a narrower lot — just 40 feet wide while maintaining open-concept living
  • Prefer to keep the front facade clear — front-load 2-car garage doesn't dominate the entrance
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple finished bedrooms on day one — this plan has only one finished bedroom (the master) plus a loft and unfinished basement
  • Want everything on a single floor — this is a two-story plan with stairs to the loft and basement
  • Have a lot under 40 feet wide — this design requires the full 40-foot width
  • Prefer to avoid stairs entirely — loft and basement access both require stairs

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

French Country Design with First-Floor Master

This French Country house plan spans 2,051 square feet across two stories, combining an efficient 40-foot width with a classic 8:12 roof pitch and 33-foot 9-inch building height. The main floor encompasses 1,497 square feet of living space with nine-foot ceilings throughout, centered on an open-concept kitchen, breakfast area, and family room anchored by a central fireplace.

The first-floor master suite offers privacy from secondary living zones, featuring a walk-in closet and private bathroom with double vanity. The kitchen is appointed with an island, eating bar, and walk-in pantry, while a separate den provides a quiet study area. First-floor laundry with garage access and a centrally located powder room complete the main level's functionality.

The second floor contains 554 square feet centered on a versatile loft suitable for media or flexible retreat use, with additional unfinished space for future expansion. Below, an unfinished basement with nine-foot ceilings offers 441+ square feet of potential for a gym, workshop, or guest quarters. The front-load 2-car garage maintains the home's architectural profile.

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.
