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…
  • Want a classic craftsman aesthetic with a fireplace—the great room features a traditional fireplace as an anchor
  • Need a 3-car garage with side-load configuration—the design keeps the front facade clear while providing workshop or hobby space
  • Plan future expansion—the 2,088-square-foot unfinished basement offers flexible space for recreation or guest use
  • Appreciate traditional split-bedroom layouts—the primary suite is separated from secondary bedrooms for privacy
  • Work with a large, square lot—the design requires 72 feet 8 inches by 74 feet
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms on the main floor—this plan has exactly 3 bedrooms
  • Want a one-story with no basement—the foundation includes a full basement level
  • Prefer front-load garage access—this design features side-load garage entry

About this plan

Craftsman Ranch with Fireplace and Flex Basement

This craftsman home delivers 2,233 square feet of main-level living on a 72-foot 8-inch by 74-foot lot, perfect for buyers seeking a traditional ranch with character. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom, arranged in a split-bedroom layout that isolates the primary suite from secondary bedrooms. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and dedicated full bathroom for privacy and convenience.

The open-concept great room serves as the home's central axis, anchored by a fireplace and flowing seamlessly into the dining zone and kitchen. A walk-in pantry and center island complete the chef's workspace, while 9-foot ceilings throughout maintain consistent volume and light. A mudroom provides a controlled entry transition, and first-floor laundry adds daily convenience. The covered front porch (172 sq ft) establishes a welcoming entry, while the rear porch (299 sq ft) extends outdoor living with 471 square feet of total porch space.

The 3-car side-load garage keeps the front elevation clean and aesthetic, while a 2,088-square-foot unfinished basement below unlocks expansion potential for media rooms, home gyms, or guest space. Built on 2x4 exterior framing with truss roof construction, the home reaches a maximum height of 24 feet 6 inches, maintaining classic craftsman proportions and neighborhood compatibility.

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.
