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 a guest suite for visiting family (first-floor guest suite, 4 bedrooms total)
  • Want laundry on the main living level (second-floor laundry near bedrooms)
  • Building on a very narrow lot (30 feet wide, slab foundation)
  • Seeking a mudroom for daily traffic management (mudroom on first floor)
  • Need 4 bedrooms with flexible space (4 bedrooms, 3 baths, plus loft area)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Want a main-floor master suite—the primary suite is on the second floor
  • Require main-floor laundry—laundry is on the second floor
  • Need 5+ bedrooms—this plan has 4 bedrooms total
  • Prefer a pier foundation—this design uses slab foundation
  • Building on a wide lot over 40 feet—footprint requires just 30 feet of width

About this plan

Four Bedrooms with Guest Suite and Loft

This two-story cottage house plan encompasses 2,500 square feet of heated living space, optimized for a 30-foot width and 63-foot 2-inch depth footprint. The design prioritizes vertical efficiency with a 10:12 roof pitch reaching a maximum height of 35 feet 4 inches, making it well-suited to narrow residential sites. A 445 square foot covered porch provides the primary entry and outdoor transition to the main living zones.

The first floor spans 1,336 square feet and centers on a formal dining room and great room with direct sightlines to the kitchen. The kitchen features a central island and walk-in pantry for storage efficiency. This level also includes a guest suite and mudroom, creating a logical flow between living, dining, and utility areas while maintaining guest privacy. Nine-foot ceiling heights enhance volume and natural light.

The second floor encompasses 1,164 square feet and houses the primary suite with walk-in closet, a flexible loft area, and a dedicated second-floor laundry room. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms provide ample accommodation for families. Construction includes 2x6 exterior wall framing and slab foundation for durability. A 445 square foot 2-car garage and 45 square foot rear deck round out the footprint, connecting interior living to private outdoor space. A screened porch adds seasonal covered living.

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.
