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 or want a single-story living option — the primary suite, laundry, and main gathering spaces are all on the main floor
  • Need a home office or media space — the 2,259 sq ft basement accommodates either with room to spare
  • Want a chef kitchen with ample prep space and storage (kitchen island and adjoining dining area)
  • Have a growing family or frequently host guests (3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, plus a half-bath)
  • Require substantial vehicle or equipment storage (3-car courtyard garage, 922 sq ft)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a compact, affordable build — this plan spans 2,537 sq ft on the main floor alone, with a basement that nearly matches it
  • Working with a narrow or small lot (requires 70 ft width × 79 ft depth)
  • Want a single-story layout with no basement involvement — this design is built for a full basement foundation

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Main Floor Living with Luxury Primary Suite

This Transitional Craftsman house plan spans 2,537 square feet on the main level, with a full 2,259 square foot basement ready for a wine cellar, media room, or future expansion. The home strikes a balance between open living and defined spaces, centered around a large kitchen island that anchors the integrated kitchen, dining, and living areas.

The first-floor primary suite is a highlight, offering a dual vanity, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and direct laundry access for seamless daily living. Two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom, while a separate half-bath serves guests. A dedicated mudroom and covered front porch ease daily transitions, and the 3-car courtyard-style garage minimizes curb impact while providing ample storage.

Consistent 10-foot ceiling heights on the main floor and 9-foot basement ceilings create an open, airy feel throughout. The fireplace in the living area adds warmth and character to this well-proportioned 70 by 79 foot design.

JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. Outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us.

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.
