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 multiple sleeping areas with privacy — 4 bedrooms on separate floors plus a bonus room with full bath
  • Want a primary suite on the main floor while hosting guests upstairs (first-floor master, 2 secondary bedrooms and bonus room on second floor)
  • Hosting and entertaining are priorities — large open great room, game room, and 1,138 sq ft of total porch area
  • Have room to build wide — this design needs 98 feet of width across the lot
  • Appreciate architectural detail — complex roofline with multiple pitches and 2-story vertical elements
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Working with a tight or narrow lot — this plan requires 98 feet of width and 86 feet of depth
  • Want to minimize stairs — secondary bedrooms require a second-floor climb
  • Prefer a compact footprint for cost efficiency — 5,492 sq ft is a substantial build
  • Need all main-level bedrooms — only the primary suite is on the first floor (3 additional bedrooms upstairs)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

New American Home with 2-Story Great Room and Game Room

This New American house plan spans 5,492 square feet across two stories, anchored by a dramatic 2-story great room that fills the central living core with natural light and vertical volume. The main floor features 10-foot ceilings, a dedicated kitchen with walk-in pantry, and a first-floor primary suite separated from the secondary bedrooms upstairs. A bonus room on the second floor offers flexibility as a media center, home office, or guest suite.

The design includes 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath, ensuring every bedroom and guest area has dedicated plumbing. Formal living zones flow seamlessly through the open-concept layout, while a dedicated game room and mud room add functional appeal. The home stretches 98 feet wide and requires a spacious lot for optimal placement.

Built on a slab foundation with 2-car garage integration, this plan reaches a maximum height of 35 ft 7 in and features sophisticated roof detailing with 11:12 and 14:12 pitches. Second-floor rooms maintain 9-foot ceilings for consistent scale and comfort throughout.

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.
