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 — the design is just 25 feet wide
  • Want a two-story layout to maximize square footage on a small footprint (1,400 sq ft across two stories)
  • Need a main-floor guest half bath without a full second bathroom downstairs
  • Prefer laundry on the second floor near bedrooms (second-floor laundry)
  • Love a chef kitchen with pantry storage (kitchen island, walk-in pantry)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-level layout — this is a two-story plan with stairs to the bedrooms
  • Have a lot wider than 39 feet — this narrow design maximizes a 25-foot width
  • Want a main-floor owner's suite — the master is upstairs
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3
  • Prefer a compact footprint to keep build costs down — 1,400 sq ft across two stories is moderate

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Traditional 1,491 Sq Ft 3 Bedroom Two-Story House Plan occupies a narrow 25-foot width footprint, making it an efficient selection for constrained residential lots. The exterior profile features a 10:12 and 8:12 roof pitch, contributing to a maximum building height of 27 feet 4 inches. A 49-square-foot covered front porch provides entry, leading directly into the primary living zones of this two-story structure.

The first floor encompasses 723 square feet of heated living area, centered around an open-concept core. The kitchen is equipped with a central island and a walk-in pantry, maintaining direct sightlines to the dining and living spaces. A half bathroom is positioned on this level for guest access, while the 278-square-foot front-load one-car garage is integrated into the 44-foot depth of the home to preserve site utility.

The second floor provides 768 square feet of living space, containing all three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master suite is located on this upper level, featuring a walk-in closet and a double vanity configuration. A dedicated laundry room is also located on the second floor to minimize the transit of household goods between levels, while 8-foot ceilings create a defined, quiet zone for the sleeping quarters.

Structural integrity is achieved through 2x4 framing and a slab foundation. The 9-foot ceilings on the main level work in tandem with the open floor plan to maximize natural light penetration through the primary social zones. The geometry of this home is optimized for narrow-lot development, ensuring that the 1,491 total square feet are organized to provide clear separation between the communal main level and the private bedroom wing.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, 1,491 sq ft, two-story configuration, front-load 1-car garage, 10:12 and 8:12 roof pitch, slab foundation, walk-in pantry, second-floor laundry, narrow lot design.

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.
