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…
  • Looking for an efficient, compact single-story home under 1,700 sq ft (exactly 1,697 sq ft on one level)
  • Want primary suite and laundry close together for convenient daily living (first-floor master with laundry nearby)
  • Need formal and casual dining spaces in a modest footprint (formal dining room plus great room with kitchen)
  • Prefer a split-bedroom design that keeps your suite private from secondary bedrooms
  • Want a side-load garage that preserves your home's street appearance
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms only with no bonus or expandable space
  • Want bonus room or expandable space for future growth — this design is fully finished with no additional rooms
  • Prefer a multi-story layout — this is a single-story ranch plan
  • Looking for an open, minimalist floor plan — split bedrooms and formal dining create separate zones

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Framed by a classic brick exterior, this 1,697-square-foot house plan organizes its living spaces around a practical split-bedroom layout that keeps the first-floor primary suite separate from the secondary bedrooms. The single-level arrangement creates clear transitions between private retreats and shared gathering areas, making efficient use of the footprint while maintaining a comfortable sense of openness.

From the entry, the interior leads into a spacious great room that serves as the center of everyday activity, with easy connections to the kitchen and formal dining room. A walk-in pantry provides convenient storage near the cooking area, while the mud room offers an organized entry from the side-load garage. The first-floor laundry is positioned close to the primary suite, which includes a walk-in closet and a double-vanity bathroom. Secondary bedrooms occupy their own wing, allowing shared living spaces to remain central while preserving privacy throughout the home.

A side-load two-car garage enhances the home's street-facing appearance while providing generous parking. Built on a slab or crawl space foundation, the design also features covered front and rear porches that extend living outdoors and complement the durable brick construction.

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.
