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…
  • Need multi-family housing for extended family or in-laws (duplex with two separate three-bedroom units)
  • Building a short-term or long-term rental investment (two independent units on one property)
  • Want first-floor master suites in each unit with his and hers closets (luxury amenities in both residences)
  • Prefer each unit to have independent covered entry (covered front porch for each duplex unit)
  • Value first-floor laundry accessible from master bedroom (first-floor laundry in each unit)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-family home, not a duplex (this is a duplex for two families or investment units)
  • Want a compact footprint—the duplex spans 3,000–3,999 sq ft total
  • Prefer 4+ bedrooms in one primary residence—each unit has 3 bedrooms (suitable for two households, not one large family)
  • Need a formal dining room—each unit prioritizes open floor plan with fireplace and primary living zone
  • Looking for a single-story—the stories specification is not detailed; verify floor plan layout before purchase

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.
