About this plan

A 262-square-foot screened rear porch gives this 1,498-square-foot traditional home an outdoor room that functions as an extension of the main living area rather than a simple covered patio. The balanced 44-foot-4-inch façade, 6:12 roof pitches, and attached front-entry two-car garage create a familiar traditional profile, while the single-story layout keeps all primary spaces on one level.Inside, the open floor plan centers on a great room with a fireplace that connects directly to the kitchen and dining area, creating clear sightlines across the main gathering spaces. A kitchen island anchors the cooking area and provides additional seating and workspace, while the nearby laundry room supports efficient daily circulation. The primary suite is positioned on the main floor and includes a private bath and walk-in closet, while the second bedroom and full bath are arranged to accommodate guests, family members, or flexible household use.The attached 687-square-foot garage offers generous parking and storage, and the unfinished basement with 9-foot poured concrete walls provides substantial space for future expansion, hobbies, or storage. Combined with the covered front porch and large screened rear porch, this traditional design emphasizes comfortable indoor-outdoor living within a manageable single-story footprint. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.

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.
