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 flexible extra space without committing to a second story (660 sq ft bonus room above the garage)
  • Want a massive rear porch for entertaining (884 sq ft covered porch)
  • Have a large lot over 110 feet wide — this design takes full advantage of the footprint
  • Love open-concept living with dramatic ceilings (ten-foot ceilings and two-story great room)
  • Need a home office and game room for multiple activities
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a narrow lot under 110 feet — this plan needs over 110 feet of width
  • Want a compact footprint to keep build costs down (3,854 sq ft with expansive porch and bonus room)
  • Need four finished bedrooms on day one — the fourth bedroom is unfinished bonus space

About this plan

Contemporary Farmhouse with Expansive Layout

At 3,854 sq ft, the Stafford is a magnificent contemporary farmhouse that redefines single-story luxury with its sprawling floor plan and a versatile 660 sq ft bonus room above the garage. This four-bedroom estate is designed for grand-scale family living, featuring high ten-foot ceilings that create a sense of volume and light throughout the primary living areas.

The interior experience begins in a grand two-story great room that anchors the open-concept core, connecting the gourmet kitchen and butler's pantry to a massive 884 sq ft rear porch. The first-floor owner's suite is a private retreat with a spa-like ensuite, while a dedicated game room and home office provide tailored spaces for leisure and productivity. Practicality is baked into the layout with a courtyard-loading three-car garage and mudroom. Built with durable 2x4 wall framing on a slab foundation, the Stafford suits large lots and suburban neighborhoods alike.

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.
