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…
  • Need an accessory dwelling unit or guest quarters on a tight budget (compact 30 ft by 32 ft footprint, 1,049 sq ft total)
  • Want a walk-in pantry in the kitchen (included in the second-floor layout)
  • Value efficient laundry placement—second-floor laundry room keeps utilities centralized
  • Planning to age in place or host extended family—2 bedrooms plus master suite with walk-in closet on one level
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ bedrooms—this plan has 2 bedrooms only
  • Want multiple bathrooms—the design includes 1 full bathroom on the second floor
  • Require a modern, open great room—the layout centers on a keeping room rather than a dedicated great room
  • Prefer a front-load garage—the 2-car garage is integrated under the residential space

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Compact Single-Story Garage Apartment with Keeping Room

Jacalyn is a versatile garage apartment plan offering 1,049 sq ft of heated living space, optimized for accessory dwelling units, guest quarters, or long-term rental income. The structure occupies a compact 30-foot by 32-foot footprint, with a 2-car, 820 sq ft garage on the ground level and residential quarters above.

The second floor contains all living spaces within 909 sq ft: a keeping room, a kitchen with a walk-in pantry, two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a centralized laundry area. The master suite includes a dedicated walk-in closet for convenient storage. A 72 sq ft front porch and side porch extend outdoor access. Ceiling heights vary—10 feet on the first floor to accommodate vehicles and storage, 8 feet on the second floor for efficient use of space.

Built with 2x6 exterior wall framing on a slab foundation, the design reaches a maximum height of 27 ft 4 in with a 6:12 roof pitch, maintaining a traditional profile. The clear separation between the garage below and residential interior above makes this a practical solution for multi-generational living, a rental property, or a private home office retreat.

What's included in this plan
  • Exterior elevations (all sides)
  • Detailed floor plan(s) with dimensions
  • Foundation plan
  • Roof plan
  • Schematic electrical layout

  • Architectural / engineering stamps
  • Site & grading plan

These are typically prepared by your local builder or engineer to meet your jurisdiction's requirements.

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.
