This thoughtfully designed home plan delivers timeless curb appeal and efficient modern living within a beautifully proportioned footprint. With 1,849 square feet of heated living space, this residence strikes the ideal balance between comfortable family living and manageable scale, making it an excellent choice for homeowners seeking refined design without unnecessary excess. The combination of steep rooflines, welcoming porches, and carefully planned interiors creates a home that feels both elevated and inviting from the moment you arrive.
The exterior architecture showcases classic craftsmanship with a 10:12 roof pitch, contributing to a dramatic silhouette and enhanced durability. Covered front and back porches extend the living experience outdoors, offering sheltered spaces for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or casual entertaining. These porches not only enhance curb appeal but also support year-round indoor-outdoor living, a feature increasingly sought after in today’s home designs. A side-load, two-car garage blends seamlessly into the layout, preserving the home’s front elevation while providing convenient access directly into the interior.
Inside, the home opens into a bright and welcoming main living area anchored by a spacious great room with fireplace. Tall 10-foot ceilings on both levels amplify the sense of volume, allowing natural light to circulate freely and creating an airy, open atmosphere throughout the home. The open floor plan connects the great room to the kitchen and dining areas, encouraging effortless flow for everyday living and entertaining alike.
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed as the heart of the home, featuring a generous kitchen island, ample counter space, and a seamless connection to both the dining area and family room. Whether preparing meals or hosting guests, the layout supports efficiency, conversation, and comfort. A walk-in pantry provides valuable storage, keeping the kitchen organized while maintaining clean sightlines.
The first-floor master suite offers a private retreat, ideal for homeowners who value convenience and long-term livability. Positioned for privacy, the suite includes a spacious bedroom, a dedicated sitting area, and a luxurious private bath with a double vanity sink and walk-in closet. This layout supports both daily comfort and aging-in-place needs, making the home suitable for a wide range of lifestyles.
Also on the main level, a first-floor laundry room adds practical functionality, with direct access from the garage for easy drop-off of everyday essentials. A powder room serves guests without intruding on private spaces, reinforcing the thoughtful separation between public and personal areas of the home.
The second floor expands the living potential with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and flexible space that can adapt to changing needs. Whether used as children’s bedrooms, guest accommodations, or home office space, the upper level maintains the same generous ceiling heights and sense of openness found below, ensuring the home feels cohesive throughout.
With three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a well-integrated garage, this plan is ideally suited for growing families, downsizers seeking quality design, or homeowners looking for a versatile primary residence. The layout supports modern lifestyles while maintaining classic architectural appeal, making it a strong choice for suburban, rural, or transitional neighborhoods.
Designed with efficiency, comfort, and timeless style in mind, this home plan delivers lasting value through intelligent space planning, elegant proportions, and features that enhance daily living. From its welcoming porches to its open interior and private master suite, every detail works together to create a home that feels both practical and aspirational—an ideal foundation for years of comfortable living.
The construction drawings will include detailed, dimensioned floor plans, exterior elevations, roof plan, foundation plan, basic electrical layout, cross-section(s), foundation plan, and other general specifications. Some plans will include interior cabinet layouts.

All house plans sold by Archival Designs have been designed to comply with the International Residential Code (IRC) and to the local codes in the area where the designer resides or where the house was built.
All house plans are designed to meet or exceed the national building standards required by the International Residential Code (IRC). Due to differences in climate and geography throughout North America, every city, local municipality and county has unique building codes and regulations that must be followed to obtain a building permit. Prior to purchasing a set of house plans, we recommend that you meet with your local building officials in order to determine the building requirements for your area. It is the responsibility of the purchaser(s) and/or builder to ensure that the structure is constructed to meet the codes of their local area.
Important Note:
House plans do not come stamped or signed by an architect or engineer. Additionally, house plans typically will not include structural engineering notes/calculations. Please check with your local building officials to determine if a stamp is required. If required, the building department will only accept a stamp from a licensed professional in the state where the home will be built.
Depending on your city, county, and state building requirements, house plans may need to be reviewed by a local licensed architect or engineer for structural details and code standards before construction begins. This is particularly true in coastal areas and those facing seismic events, extreme winds, and heavy snow. If you are building in any of these areas, a licensed structural engineer will likely be needed to provide the necessary calculations and additional drawings. We authorize the use of our plans conditioned on your obligation and agreement to strictly comply with all local building codes, ordinances, regulations, and requirements, including permits and inspections at the time of and during construction. We recommend checking with your local building department for the most current requirements. The purchaser(s) and/or builder are responsible for additional expenses incurred through meeting municipality requirements or other requirements for construction.
Our foundation plans have been designed for universal conditions and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific site conditions. The foundation should be modified by a local structural engineer to comply with soil testing laboratory findings and local building requirements.
Our house plans will include schematic electrical drawings; however, circuiting or wire sizing will not be included. Your electrical subcontractor will typically provide these drawings.
HVAC and plumbing drawings are not included. Your mechanical and plumbing subcontractors will determine the best layout for your site. Local HVAC codes, climatic requirements and commonly used systems vary throughout the country. The direction of how water flow will enter the home vary from case to case. For this reason, it is impossible to provide universal plans.
