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 only 42 ft wide by 27 ft deep
  • Want a first-floor master suite with private bath and walk-in closet for single-level living
  • Need a basement foundation for storage, workshop space, or future expansion (258 sq ft finished basement)
  • Value privacy between bedrooms — split-bedroom layout separates the master from secondary bedrooms
  • Prefer direct laundry access from the garage (laundry connects to 2-car garage)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms total
  • Want an open great room — the keeping room and dining areas are visually separated
  • Require a lot deeper than 39 feet — this plan is only 27 ft deep
  • Prefer high ceilings — 8-foot ceilings throughout provide a more traditional, intimate scale

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Efficient Traditional Design for Narrow Lots

This traditional house plan offers 1,354 square feet of heated living space in a compact footprint measuring just 42 feet wide by 27 feet deep, making it ideal for narrow lots. The one-story layout features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a basement foundation that adds 258 finished square feet of flexible utility space.

The main floor centers on an open-concept core with a fireplace, kitchen island with eating bar, and clear sightlines between the keeping room and dining area. A first-floor master suite with private bath and walk-in closet provides privacy from the two secondary bedrooms. The kitchen includes a wall pantry, and laundry access from the 2-car garage keeps household functions organized. Eight-foot ceiling heights throughout the main level create an intimate yet efficient scale.

Key features include the split-bedroom configuration for acoustic separation, direct garage-to-laundry circulation, and a formal dining room. The basement offers room for workshops or storage, while the traditional exterior profile with modest 19-foot height integrates well into established neighborhoods.

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.
