Versatile Garage Apartment with Spacious Living and Covered Porches

The 25004 Wimberly Garage Apartment spans 1,450 square feet of heated living space, exclusively situated on the second level to prioritize views and privacy. Designed for a 62'6" wide by 54'0" deep footprint, this structure incorporates a massive 1,515 square foot 4-car garage on the ground level, providing significant vehicle or workshop capacity while maintaining a compact building envelope.

The upper floor layout maximizes floor area with a central keeping room, a dedicated dining zone, and a kitchen equipped with a central island and walk-in pantry. Two bedrooms feature walk-in closets and share a full bathroom with dual vanity sinks. A dedicated pocket office and second-floor laundry room are integrated into the floor plan to support remote work and routine chores without encroaching on the primary living areas.

Vertical volume is a defining characteristic, as the design includes 10-foot ceilings on both the ground and second floors. This consistent height ensures an airy feel throughout the living quarters. The exterior profile is defined by a maximum building height of 29'6" and a mixed roof pitch of 10:12 and 5:12, which facilitates efficient water runoff and adds architectural depth to the barn-style aesthetic.

Outdoor accessibility is provided by 820 square feet of covered porch area, including a rear terrace that extends the living space into the environment. The structure is engineered to provide 504 square feet of bonus room area, offering additional flexible utility for storage or future expansion. This configuration serves as a robust solution for accessory dwelling needs, guest accommodations, or income-generating property requirements.

Key Features: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 4-car garage, 1,450 sq ft living area, 820 sq ft covered porch, 10-foot ceiling heights, walk-in pantry, pocket office, second-floor laundry, barn-style architecture, 10:12 and 5:12 roof pitch.

Review image
JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. This home has outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us. I work from home so having the home office off the foyer is fantastic. I converted the wet bar into a storage closet for my office. We also extended the laundry room into the porch and created a multipurpose laundry/mud room. I would buy from archival designs again and again.

It took almost a year to pick a plan. Since my husband and I retired a few years ago we wanted this last house had to have everything we wanted and needed. The kitchen is my favorite part of the house. I can see what’s happening in my neighborhood through my kitchen window and watch my husband garden in the back yard. Our children think we made a smart decision when we picked this house for our senior years.

We’ve had an amazing experience with our new home and are excited to be moved in. The customer service we received during our modifications was exceptional. We are loving the open layout of the kitchen and family room. It feels spacious and I’m already planning on hosting holiday dinners at home. We recommend Archival Designs to anyone interested in building the home they’ve always wanted!

We absolutely adore the Kildare Place house plan. Made some modifications to make this home ours! Our house is the talk of the neighborhood. We host big parties every holiday and still get compliments from our friends and family. We searched for months and looked through hundreds of floor plans and this one had almost everything we wanted, and with the help of the great staff at Archival Designs we got exactly what we wanted!

FAQ

Can I modify this Versatile Garage Apartment with Spacious Living and Covered Porches now or later?

Absolutely. We offer in-house modification services to adjust layouts, room sizes, or expand garages before purchase. If you prefer to make adjustments during the construction phase, purchasing the CAD file package allows your local builder or architect to make on-site changes. Simply click 'Request a Modification' for a free quote.

How much will it cost to build this Versatile Garage Apartment with Spacious Living and Covered Porches and why aren't exact costs shown? 

Construction costs vary significantly ($150–$300+ per sq. ft.) based on your location, material choices, and local labor rates. Because site preparation and regional codes differ, it is hard to provide a universal cost always.

Will this Versatile Garage Apartment with Spacious Living and Covered Porches fit my lot, and can I add a basement or flip the layout?

You can check the 'Modifications' tab for width and depth requirements. To fit your site's orientation, most plans are available in a 'Right Reading Reverse' (mirrored) format. We also offer slab, crawlspace, and basement foundation adjustments for every design.

Do your plans meet building codes in my area and do I need a professional stamp?

Our plans meet or exceed national IRC (International Residential Code) standards. However, due to varying local requirements regarding seismic, wind (hurricane), or snow loads, house plans do not come with a professional architect’s or engineer’s seal. Most municipalities require a review and stamp by a local licensed professional to obtain a building permit.

Are plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical drawings included?

We provide the architectural and schematic electrical framework, but HVAC and plumbing layouts are not included. Because local codes and climate-specific systems vary significantly across the country, these are best finalized by your local subcontractors to ensure your home’s systems are optimized for your specific site and energy requirements.

Why should I choose Archival Designs and are the plans guaranteed?

With over 40 years of experience, Archival Designs provides high-quality, builder-ready designs that balance aesthetic elegance with structural integrity. We offer a Best Price Guarantee, a 10% discount for military and first responders, as well as builder discounts for life. And loyalty perks for pro builders. All plans are designed to comply with the IRC codes at the time of their creation. Learn more about our Best Price Guarantee.
