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…
  • Plan to age in place or prefer no stairs (one-story ranch with master suite on main floor)
  • Entertain regularly with a chef kitchen and open living (kitchen island, walk-in pantry, 10-foot ceilings)
  • Need flexible sleeping arrangements (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with split-bedroom layout)
  • Want substantial outdoor living (315 sq ft combined covered front and rear porches)
  • Require a 2-car garage with laundry access (2-car garage with mudroom connection)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms for a large family (3 bedrooms only)
  • Want a smaller, more compact footprint (1,700 sq ft across 57 ft width)
  • Prefer low ceiling heights to reduce heating costs (10-foot ceilings on main floor)
  • Looking for a narrow lot design (requires 50–59 ft width)
  • Need a single-car or carport arrangement (2-car garage integrated into design)

About this plan

Modern One-Story Living with Chef Kitchen and Outdoor Spaces

Modern SM163 delivers 1,700 sq ft of single-story living with an open-concept floor plan centered on a great room, kitchen, and dining area. The kitchen features a central island, eating bar, and walk-in pantry, making it the heart of the home. Ten-foot ceilings throughout enhance the volume of the primary living areas, while a fireplace anchors the family room.

The split-bedroom layout provides clear separation between the primary suite and secondary bedrooms. The master suite includes a sitting area and walk-in closet, with a double-vanity private bathroom. Two secondary bedrooms share a full bathroom, maintaining privacy between sleeping zones and the open living area.

A mudroom and dedicated laundry room support daily utility, with direct access from the attached 2-car garage. Combined front and rear covered porches total 315 sq ft, extending the home's usable outdoor space. This efficient one-story design prioritizes single-level living without sacrifice.

JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. Outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us.

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.
