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 narrow lot under 40 feet wide (34 ft footprint)
  • Plan to age in place with a main-floor master suite and accessible laundry (first-floor primary suite with laundry access)
  • Love covered outdoor living and entertaining (340 sq ft rear porch, 155 sq ft front porch)
  • Want a flexible loft space without committing to a fourth finished bedroom (loft for home office or media area)
  • Need a chef kitchen with pantry storage (walk-in pantry, kitchen island)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a lot wider than 50 feet — this design requires a narrow footprint (34 ft width)
  • Need 4+ finished bedrooms immediately (3 bedrooms plus unfinished loft)
  • Want a single-story layout (two-story with stairs to upper bedrooms)
  • Prefer a large compact footprint to minimize perimeter (54 ft depth, requires vertical design)

About this plan

A Charming Two-Story Cottage Plan for Narrow Lots

The Laura 1 is a cottage-style home plan spanning 2,186 square feet of heated living space, engineered specifically for narrow lots with a 34-foot width and 54-foot depth. This two-story design pairs a main level centered on open-concept living with a flexible upper floor, creating distinct zones for daily living and private retreat. An expansive 340 square foot covered rear porch and 155 square foot front porch extend living into the outdoors, while the 8:12 and 12:12 roof pitches reach a maximum height of 26 feet 7 inches.

The main level encompasses 1,294 square feet beneath 10-foot ceilings, with a keeping room, kitchen with walk-in pantry, and formal dining area flowing seamlessly together. A fireplace anchors the living zone, while the first-floor primary suite offers a walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room—eliminating unnecessary steps. The primary bathroom includes a double vanity sink and private layout.

Upstairs, 892 square feet provides two secondary bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a flexible loft area with 8-foot ceilings. The loft functions as a home office, media room, or auxiliary living space, creating clear separation between public and private areas. Built on a slab foundation with 2x4 framing, this narrow-lot design maximizes vertical volume while maintaining the charming cottage character defined by its covered porches and traditional proportions.

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.
