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…
  • Need a 2-car garage for vehicles or storage (480 sq ft, front-load configuration)
  • Want a first-floor master suite with double-vanity bath and walk-in closet
  • Require 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in a compact footprint (1,624 sq ft)
  • Prefer a kitchen island and open floor plan on the main level (9-foot ceilings)
  • Working with a square or nearly square lot (49 ft by 49 ft)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-story layout — this is a two-story plan with stairs to upper bedrooms
  • Want a covered front porch — this plan has a front porch but no garage-side cover
  • Prefer all bedrooms on the main floor — two bedrooms are upstairs
  • Need a very large footprint for a sprawling single-level home (1,624 sq ft across two stories)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

The New American Style 1,624 Sq Ft 4-Bedroom House Plan occupies a footprint of 49 ft by 49 ft, providing a balanced layout for narrow or compact urban lots. This two-story design features an 8:12 roof pitch and a maximum building height of 24 ft 9 in, emphasizing a traditional exterior profile that pairs with a 132 sq ft front porch and a 26 sq ft rear porch.

Occupying 1,211 sq ft on the first floor, the interior centers on an open-concept core that integrates the kitchen, breakfast area, and family room. The kitchen island serves as the central workstation, while the 9-foot ceilings throughout the main level contribute to a sense of vertical volume. A primary suite is positioned on the main floor for accessibility, accompanied by a secondary bedroom suitable for a home office or guest quarters.

The second floor encompasses 413 sq ft of heated space, housing two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. With 8-foot ceiling heights, this upper level provides a private zone for family members or visitors. The total heated living area reaches 1,624 sq ft, excluding the utility and exterior components, ensuring efficient use of the buildable square footage.

Structural components include a 480 sq ft, 2-car front-load garage that provides direct access to the interior. The design incorporates a walk-in closet in the primary suite and a wall pantry in the kitchen to maintain organized storage. This configuration prioritizes a compact, high-utility floor plan that maximizes the available 2,262 sq ft of total area including porches and garage space.

Key Features: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, first-floor master suite, open-concept floor plan, kitchen island, 2-car garage, 8:12 roof pitch, 9-foot main level ceilings, walk-in closet, covered front porch.

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.
