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…
  • Working with a very narrow lot — design is just 24 ft wide and 27 ft 5 in deep
  • Want a compact, affordable home without sacrificing modern amenities (561 sq ft total)
  • Need first-floor laundry and master suite in a single-story layout
  • Seeking an accessory dwelling unit or starter home with open-concept living
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms for a family — this plan has only 1 bedroom
  • Want a two-story layout or significant square footage (561 sq ft total)
  • Prefer a basement or crawl space with extensive storage potential

About this plan

The Kennedy Cottage delivers a highly efficient layout within a 561 sq ft footprint, making it an ideal candidate for narrow lots or compact site requirements. With a total width of 24 ft and a depth of 27 ft 5 in, the architectural profile is dominated by a 96 sq ft covered front porch that provides a transition into the main living zone.

The interior is organized around an open-concept core that integrates the kitchen, dining, and living areas to maximize the usable square footage. A dedicated primary suite occupies the first floor, featuring a walk-in closet for enhanced storage capacity. The inclusion of a first-floor laundry area consolidates utility tasks into the primary living level, maintaining a compact and logical traffic flow throughout the residence.

Standing at a maximum building height of 15 ft 7 in, the structure utilizes 8 ft ceiling heights to maintain a consistent scale throughout the living areas. The design is engineered with a 6:12 roof pitch, which contributes to the traditional aesthetic while providing necessary slope for residential roofing materials. The building is supported by a crawl space foundation and utilizes 2x4 wall framing for structural integrity.

This one-story house plan serves as a versatile option for those prioritizing a reduced footprint without sacrificing essential modern amenities. The combination of the open-concept layout and the functional bedroom placement ensures that the 561 sq ft of heated living area is concentrated on core lifestyle needs, making it a viable solution for compact residential living or accessory dwelling unit applications.

Key Features: 561 sq ft total living area, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, open-concept floor plan, first-floor master suite, walk-in closet, 96 sq ft covered front porch, 8 ft ceiling heights, 6:12 roof pitch, crawl space foundation, 2x4 wall framing.

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.
