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…
  • Work from home or need flexible daily-use space — a dedicated flex room on the main floor (flex room, first-floor laundry)
  • Are empty nesters or a couple wanting a guest bedroom without crowding the primary suite (4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, split layout)
  • Want chef-level kitchen storage and preparation (walk-in pantry, kitchen island, eating bar)
  • Plan to age in place — master suite, laundry, and living all accessible on the main floor (first-floor primary suite, 1,976 sq ft first floor)
  • Need a clean, modern aesthetic with smart workflow (open floor plan, laundry access from garage)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need all bedrooms on the main floor — three of the four are upstairs
  • Want a compact footprint to minimize construction costs (2,946 sq ft across two floors)
  • Require four-plus bathrooms on the first floor — only two full baths are on the main level

About this plan

Modern Two-Story with First-Floor Flexibility

This Modern house plan delivers 2,946 square feet across two stories, featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom. The first floor spans 1,976 square feet at a 10-foot ceiling height, anchored by an open-concept kitchen, dining, and great room separated by a central island. A walk-in pantry, first-floor laundry with direct garage access, and a flex room round out the main level.

The primary suite occupies its own wing on the first floor, offering privacy from the social core. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two full bathrooms occupy 970 square feet at 9-foot ceilings. The split-bedroom configuration creates clear separation between the master and secondary sleeping quarters, while the covered front porch and 276 square feet of rear porch space connect interior and outdoor zones.

  • Walk-in pantry and eating bar for serious home cooks
  • Flex room on the main floor for home office or guest space
  • Laundry access directly from the 2-car garage for streamlined workflow
  • First-floor primary suite positioned away from secondary bedrooms

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.
