Bright One-Story Home with Cathedral Family Room and Bay Window

42035 Saffron is a 1,763 sq ft one-story residence defined by an 8:12 roof pitch and a 62-foot width that fits compact lots while maximizing interior volume. The exterior profile reaches a maximum building height of 25 ft 10 in, featuring a 36 sq ft covered porch that provides a clear transition into the main living quarters.

The interior architecture centers on a great room with a cathedral ceiling, creating a vertical focal point that draws light into the heart of the home. A formal dining area utilizes a bay window to expand the floor plan's footprint, while the kitchen includes a dedicated walk-in pantry to consolidate storage. With 1,763 sq ft of heated living space on the first floor, the layout provides 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms plus a half bathroom.

Privacy is managed through a split-bedroom configuration that separates the primary suite from the secondary sleeping quarters. The primary suite features a 10-foot ceiling height, providing a distinct volume compared to the standard 9-foot ceilings found throughout the remainder of the first floor. This arrangement creates a clear division between communal social zones and private retreats.

Structural utility is supported by a 730 sq ft front-load garage with a 2-car capacity, providing substantial space for vehicles and additional storage. The home includes an unfinished basement area of 1,763 sq ft, offering the potential for future expansion or climate-controlled utility space. The foundation and framing are engineered to support the 8:12 roof slope, ensuring a consistent traditional aesthetic across the entire building envelope.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, split-bedroom layout, cathedral ceiling great room, bay window, walk-in pantry, first-floor primary suite, 2-car front-load garage, unfinished basement, 8:12 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 Bright One-Story Home with Cathedral Family Room and Bay Window 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 Bright One-Story Home with Cathedral Family Room and Bay Window 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 Bright One-Story Home with Cathedral Family Room and Bay Window 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.
