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…
  • Planning multi-generational living with separate suites (dual first-floor master suites)
  • Want a duplex configuration for rental income or family separation (4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half baths)
  • Need a loft for home office or media space (644 sq ft second floor with loft)
  • Seeking a 2-car garage with laundry access (500 sq ft garage with laundry connection)
  • Prefer first-floor master suites for accessibility (both units have main-level primary suites)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-family home layout — this is a duplex-style plan designed for two units
  • Want a sprawling single-story (this is a two-story design with 2,786 sq ft)
  • Require 5+ bedrooms (this plan has 4 bedrooms total)
  • Need a narrow lot under 40 feet — this design requires 49 ft 4 in of width

About this plan

Modern Farmhouse Duplex House Waterford is a 2,786 sq ft residence designed with a 49 ft 4 in width and 57 ft 6 in depth, providing a balanced footprint for multi-family or extended family living. This two-story design prioritizes structural efficiency and clear interior circulation, anchored by a 2,142 sq ft main level and a 644 sq ft second floor.

The main level features an open-concept core that integrates the kitchen, keeping room, and dining zone, facilitating direct sightlines across the primary social space. A first-floor master suite is positioned to ensure privacy, supported by a walk-in closet and dedicated bathroom access. Two powder rooms are strategically located to serve the main living area, while a 55 sq ft covered front porch provides a transition from the exterior into the home.

The second floor includes a loft area that overlooks the lower level, offering a flexible zone for a study or media retreat. Three additional bedrooms are located on this level, each complemented by a full bathroom to accommodate guests or family members. With 8 ft ceiling heights on the upper level, the space is scaled to maintain a compact, manageable footprint while maximizing the total 2,786 sq ft of heated living area.

Construction specifications include a maximum building height of 28 ft 2 in and an 8:12 roof pitch, which defines the exterior profile. The structure is supported by a 2-car garage providing 500 sq ft of additional space, with the total building footprint reaching 3,396 sq ft when including the garage and porch areas.

Key Features: 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, first-floor master suite, loft space, kitchen island, walk-in pantry, 2-car garage, covered front porch, duplex-style configuration.

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.
