  • You enjoy tall, open living spaces centered around a two-story grand room and fireplace.

  • You prefer a French Country exterior with a covered front porch and front-entry garage.
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • You want all bedrooms on the same floor.
  • You prefer a single-story ranch layout with no upper-level spaces.
  • You need four clearly defined bedrooms plus a dedicated loft.

About this plan

A two-story grand room rising from the center of this 2,282-square-foot French Country home creates a dramatic vertical space that distinguishes the plan from a conventional one-and-a-half-story layout. The main-floor primary suite and den are positioned beneath the taller roof volume, while the upper level is tucked into the roofline, giving the house a compact exterior profile with surprisingly expansive interior height.The experience begins in a two-story foyer that leads directly into the grand room, where the fireplace forms a natural focal point for the main living area. The kitchen is organized around a central island with a walk-in pantry nearby, and the breakfast area is placed to maintain easy movement between cooking, dining, and gathering spaces. A den near the front of the house offers a quieter retreat, while the loft above overlooks the grand room and adds visual connection between levels.The first-floor master suite includes a private bath and walk-in closet, allowing the primary living spaces to remain entirely on the main level. An attached two-car front-entry garage, covered front porch, poured-wall unfinished basement, and additional storage areas make this French Country plan practical for long-term use. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.

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.
