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 around 40 feet wide — the design maintains a clean, compact profile at 40 feet wide
  • Need 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in a small footprint (1,195 sq ft on a single story)
  • Want a modern aesthetic with clean lines and low profile (4:12 roof, 16 ft 1 in maximum height)
  • Seeking efficient single-level living with laundry near the garage (first-floor laundry with garage access)
  • Plan to expand later — the unfinished basement offers potential for future bedrooms or recreation space
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than 3 bedrooms without building down — this plan has only 3 finished bedrooms on one level
  • Want a large footprint or expansive entertaining space — at 1,195 sq ft, this is a compact, efficient design
  • Prefer a covered porch with substantial sitting area — while covered porches exist, they are modest in size
  • Seeking a traditional or contemporary architectural style — this is a modern design with minimalist lines
  • Require a formal dining room — this plan focuses on an open kitchen-family room without separate dining

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Efficient One-Story Modern Design for Narrow Lots

Calverton Modern 42549 delivers 1,195 square feet of heated living space on a single story, optimized for narrow 40-foot wide footprints without sacrificing comfort or livability. This modern house plan features a clean 4:12 roof pitch and compact 16-foot 1-inch maximum height while maintaining nine-foot ceilings throughout, creating an airy feel in a small-scale design.

The main level integrates an open-concept kitchen and family room, with a wall pantry providing storage efficiency. A split-bedroom layout isolates the primary suite—featuring a private bath and walk-in closet—from two additional bedrooms, ensuring privacy for all residents. Dedicated first-floor laundry with direct garage access streamlines daily tasks, and both covered front and rear porches expand usable outdoor space without expanding the footprint (160 square feet front, 68 square feet rear).

The attached 2-car front-load garage provides 430 square feet of parking and storage, while the unfinished basement foundation offers substantial square footage for future expansion or storage. At just 1,195 square feet across a 40-foot 8-inch depth, this design prioritizes efficiency and sensible circulation for occupant comfort.

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.
