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 40-foot-wide lot — the design is engineered for this footprint
  • Want an efficient, affordable footprint (1,401 sq ft, streamlined layout)
  • Prefer a first-floor primary suite for convenience or accessibility
  • Need a flexible third bedroom that can serve as home office or guest room
  • Like a single-story layout with no stairs to navigate
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a large family or need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms
  • Want a spacious great room or grand open areas — 1,401 sq ft is a compact design
  • Need a dedicated home office plus full guest bedroom — the third bedroom must serve both functions
  • Require substantial garage space for equipment or multiple vehicles (2-car garage only)

About this plan

Efficient Modern Farmhouse on a Compact Footprint

This modern farmhouse plan provides 1,401 square feet of heated living space engineered for a 40-foot-wide by 55-foot-deep lot. The interior centers on an open-concept core with 9-foot ceilings throughout the main level, where the kitchen, dining, and family room share an uninterrupted footprint. A central kitchen island with eating bar links the culinary zone to the living space, while the layout maintains clear sightlines for efficient circulation.

The first-floor primary suite is positioned for privacy and includes an attached bathroom with double vanity. Two additional bedrooms are located nearby, each served by a secondary full bathroom. The design supports family living or flexible use of one bedroom as a home office or study.

Exterior details include a distinct roofline combining 12:12 and 7:12 pitches, reaching a maximum height of 24 feet 10 inches. A covered front porch and 180 square foot rear porch provide distinct outdoor transition zones. The front-load 2-car garage provides 457 square feet with 10-foot ceiling height for overhead storage, while a dedicated laundry area and utility room centralize household tasks.

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.
