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 small, efficient home with no wasted space (862 sq ft)
  • Working with a narrow or smaller lot (42.7 ft wide)
  • Want single-story living with no stairs (1 story)
  • Like covered outdoor living (covered front porch and rear porch)
  • Need sheltered parking without a full garage (front-load carport)
  • Want closet storage in the primary bedroom (walk-in closet)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than 2 bedrooms for a growing family (2 bedrooms)
  • Want an enclosed garage rather than open parking (carport only, not a garage)
  • Need more than 1 bathroom for a busy household (1 bathroom)
  • Want a larger home with separate formal rooms (862 sq ft total)
  • Prefer a multi-story layout with separated living zones (1 story)

About this plan

Centered around an efficient open living area, the Joshua house plan delivers 862 square feet of comfortable living in a compact Traditional design. Its modest footprint makes excellent use of every square foot while offering two covered porches that extend the home's living space outdoors. A front-load carport provides sheltered parking with convenient access to the kitchen, making daily arrivals and grocery unloading simple.

The open living and dining area creates a spacious feel that encourages conversation and everyday comfort despite the home's compact size. Two clustered bedrooms are positioned for privacy near a centrally located bathroom, while the primary bedroom includes a generous walk-in closet for added storage. A conveniently placed first-floor laundry closet is easily accessible from both bedrooms, and the keeping room serves as a welcoming space for relaxing or spending time with family. Additional outdoor storage offers room for tools, seasonal items, and recreational equipment without occupying valuable interior space.

Built with 2x4 wall framing, stick roof framing, and durable shingle roofing, the Joshua combines straightforward construction with practical features for affordable living. The covered front porch, rear porch, attached carport, and exterior storage increase the home's everyday functionality while maintaining its compact Traditional character.

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.
