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…
  • Seeking a compact, efficient design for a narrow lot (just 39 feet wide or less)
  • Want a home office without sacrificing the open-concept feel (dedicated home office/study within 952 sq ft)
  • Need first-floor laundry in a single-story layout (first-floor laundry, one-story plan)
  • Looking for covered outdoor space to extend usable living (135 sq ft of covered porch)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple bedrooms for guests or a growing family (this plan has 1 bedroom)
  • Require a two-car or three-car garage (no garage included)
  • Want a larger footprint for future expansion (952 sq ft with limited room to expand)

About this plan

The Sunset Key is a refined modern cottage delivering comfort within a compact 952 sq ft single-story layout. Designed for individuals, couples, or those seeking a stylish retreat, this one-bedroom home combines open-concept living with thoughtful architectural details and 9-foot ceilings that enhance the sense of openness throughout.

At the core, the living area, dining space, and gourmet kitchen flow seamlessly together, maximizing the efficient footprint. The first-floor owner's suite serves as a private sanctuary with an ensuite bath featuring dual sinks and premium finishes. A dedicated home office or study adds flexibility for remote work or quiet pursuits, while integrated laundry and storage solutions support effortless daily living.

Outdoor living is equally inviting with 135 sq ft of covered porch space—the perfect setting for relaxing mornings or entertaining guests. Built on a crawl space foundation, the Sunset Key balances comfort and efficiency in a compact footprint ideally suited to narrow or limited lots.

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.
