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…
  • Building a vacation home or lakefront retreat — beach and lake styling integrated throughout the design
  • Want a 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath layout with a Jack and Jill configuration (secondary bedrooms share one bath for space efficiency)
  • Need a rear-load 3-car garage with mudroom to keep the front elevation open and clean (653 sq ft garage, rear entry)
  • Prefer split-bedroom privacy — primary suite separated from secondary bedrooms to reduce noise between zones
  • Seeking an efficient 1,695 sq ft footprint with 8-foot ceilings and a low-profile 2:12 roof pitch
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms only
  • Want a front-facing attached garage — the 3-car garage is rear-load only
  • Require a basement or additional story for storage — this is a single-story plan with slab foundation
  • Expecting vaulted or cathedral ceilings — interior ceilings are standard 8-foot heights

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

3-Bedroom Beach or Lake Home with Open Living and 3-Car Garage

This contemporary single-story house plan combines 1,695 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and modern beach and lake house styling across a 54-foot 8-inch width and 48-foot 8-inch depth. Built on a slab foundation with a low 2:12 roof pitch and 8-foot ceiling heights throughout, the design centers on an open-concept great room that flows directly into a well-equipped kitchen with a central island and walk-in pantry. The split-bedroom layout positions the primary suite with a double-vanity bath and walk-in closet separately from two secondary bedrooms served by a Jack and Jill bathroom, maximizing privacy and bathroom efficiency.

A rear-load 3-car garage (653 sf) connects via mudroom, keeping the front elevation clean and focused. At just 18 feet tall, this plan suits varied lot conditions while maintaining contemporary appeal. Ideal for vacation home builders, lakefront owners, and those seeking a compact family residence with outdoor-ready styling.

  • 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms in 1,695 sq ft

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.
