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…
  • Want a first-floor master suite plus two additional bedrooms with full baths and walk-in closets (3 bedrooms, 3 full baths)
  • Need a four-car garage on a wide lot (70–79 ft wide, side-load carport)
  • Love a dedicated home office or library space (two-story study with spiral staircase and loft)
  • Plan for a walkout basement to add finished recreation or storage space (walkout foundation)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than three bedrooms for a large family — this plan has 3 bedrooms total
  • Prefer a single-story layout without stairs (this is a two-story design)
  • Working with a narrow or compact lot — the home needs 70+ ft of width and 90+ ft of depth
  • Want to minimize build costs — 4,969 sq ft across two stories is a significant footprint

About this plan

A Classical Estate with Two Master Suites

This Classical home plan spans 4,969 sq ft across two stories and offers symmetrical elegance defined by dual two-story pillars and wraparound balconies. The design centers on a high-energy gathering space where a gourmet kitchen with semicircular bar-counter flows into a family room warmed by a central fireplace.

The first-floor master suite is a true sanctuary with its own sitting area and direct access to private verandas. Upstairs, two additional bedroom suites feature full baths and walk-in closets, both with access to the upper-level balcony. A signature two-story study includes a spiral staircase leading to a private bookshelf loft, providing a dedicated retreat for work or library pursuits.

Built on a walkout basement foundation with 2x4 wall framing, this design offers substantial storage and structural depth. The side-load four-car carport accommodates multiple vehicles while maintaining the home's formal appearance.

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.
