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…
  • Working with a narrow lot under 40 ft wide — this design is just 39 ft wide
  • Want a second-floor master suite away from guest bedrooms (master retreat upstairs)
  • Need 3 bedrooms without a large footprint (3 bedrooms in 1,500 sq ft)
  • Love covered outdoor living (covered front porch 132 sq ft, rear porch 65 sq ft)
  • Prefer laundry on the upper floor for convenience (second-floor laundry)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-level layout — this is a two-story plan with stairs to bedrooms
  • Want a main-floor master suite — the master is on the second floor
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms
  • Want a large footprint for entertaining — this design is 1,500 sq ft across two floors
  • Need a garage for vehicle storage — this plan has no garage

About this plan

Stylish Narrow-Lot Home with Second Floor Master Retreat is a 1,585 square foot two-story residence engineered for narrow-lot configurations, measuring 22 feet in width and 43 feet 6 inches in depth. The exterior features a 132 square foot covered front porch and a 65 square foot rear porch, contributing to a total porch area of 197 square feet while maintaining a compact building footprint.

The main level encompasses 760 square feet, organized around a central kitchen equipped with an island and an adjacent walk-in pantry. This floor also includes a dedicated keeping family room designed for daily utility, alongside a half bathroom for guest access. The spatial organization prioritizes efficient circulation throughout the 8-foot ceiling height level.

Occupying 825 square feet, the second floor contains the primary sleeping quarters and two additional bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill bathroom. The second-level layout integrates a laundry area to centralize household chores, separating the private sleeping zones from the social areas of the main floor. This level structure provides a clear division of living, sleeping, and service areas.

Structural integrity is defined by an 8:12 roof pitch and a maximum building height of 26 feet 10 inches. The design utilizes a consistent vertical profile that complements the narrow footprint, ensuring the home maintains architectural stability while maximizing the internal floor area across both levels.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, narrow-lot design, second-floor master retreat, Jack and Jill bathroom, keeping family room, kitchen island, walk-in pantry, second-floor laundry, 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.
