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…
  • Plan to age in place — master suite, laundry, and living all on the main floor with no stairs
  • Need a workshop or room for 3+ vehicles (3-car garage with dual entry points)
  • Want a chef kitchen with a walk-in pantry and island (kitchen island, walk-in pantry, breakfast area)
  • Working with a standard suburban lot — the design fits a 70-by-65-foot footprint
  • Seeking future expansion potential (unfinished basement with nearly 2,700 sq ft of space)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a compact footprint to keep build costs down (2,700 sq ft across a substantial 70-by-65-foot lot)
  • Want a smaller home with minimal square footage — this plan is designed for spacious single-level living
  • Have a narrow lot under 60 feet wide — this design needs 70 feet of width
  • Prefer a two-story layout to maximize lot efficiency — this is a one-story ranch

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

The Windy Ridge is a sprawling one-story ranch home providing 2,731 square feet of heated living space. Designed with a 78-foot 6-inch width and 65-foot 1-inch depth, this residence occupies a substantial footprint that prioritizes single-level convenience. The exterior profile is defined by a hybrid 6:12 and 10:12 roof pitch, reaching a maximum building height of 22 feet 9 inches.

The interior layout utilizes a split-bedroom configuration to maintain separation between the primary suite and secondary bedrooms. A central open-concept core integrates the kitchen, which features a center island and walk-in pantry, with a family room anchored by a fireplace. The main level also incorporates a dedicated home office and a flex room, providing distinct zones for professional or hobby use, alongside a mudroom and laundry area positioned for efficient transition.

Ceiling heights throughout the 2,731 square foot first floor are set at 9 feet, creating a consistent volume that enhances the distribution of natural light across the floor plan. The structure includes an unfinished basement measuring 2,693 square feet, offering significant potential for future expansion or climate-controlled storage. A covered front porch adds 278 square feet of exterior space to the front elevation.

Parking and storage are managed by a 1,115 square foot, 3-car garage, which utilizes both side and front entry points to maximize driveway utility and lot accessibility. This design approach ensures that the garage maintains a clear visual path while providing ample room for vehicles and equipment. The combination of a slab or basement-ready foundation and standard framing supports the structural integrity of this sprawling ranch layout.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, first-floor primary suite, split-bedroom layout, 3-car garage, walk-in pantry, home office, unfinished basement, 2,731 square feet of living area.

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.
