This charming Craftsman house plan offers a perfect balance of style, efficiency, and modern comfort within a compact yet highly functional layout. With a total heated living area of 1,540 square feet and an overall structure size of 1,868 square feet, this two-story home is ideal for small families, first-time homeowners, or those seeking a thoughtfully designed space with timeless appeal.
The exterior showcases classic Craftsman detailing, including a welcoming covered front porch, a gently sloping 6:12 roof pitch, and well-proportioned dimensions measuring 28 feet wide by 47 feet 8 inches deep. A covered back porch extends the living space outdoors, creating the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining.
Inside, the main floor spans 717 square feet and features an open floor plan that maximizes space and flow. The family or keeping room serves as the central gathering area, complete with a cozy fireplace that adds warmth and character. This inviting space connects seamlessly to the kitchen and dining areas, making it ideal for both everyday living and hosting guests.
The kitchen is designed with both functionality and style in mind. It includes a central island, an eating bar for casual meals, and a spacious walk-in pantry for organized storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast area offers a bright and comfortable spot for dining, enhanced by easy access to the covered back porch.
A conveniently located powder room on the main floor provides added comfort for guests, while maintaining privacy for the rest of the home.
Upstairs, the second floor offers 823 square feet of well-planned living space. The highlight of this level is the private master suite, which serves as a peaceful retreat. It features a generous bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a private master bath designed for comfort and convenience.
Two additional bedrooms are also located on the second floor, providing ample space for family members, guests, or a home office. A shared full bathroom ensures functionality for the entire household.
A versatile loft area adds flexibility to the upper level, making it ideal for a study nook, reading corner, or small media space. This additional living area enhances the home’s usability without increasing its footprint.
One of the standout features of this plan is the second-floor laundry room, which simplifies daily chores by placing laundry facilities close to the bedrooms. This thoughtful detail improves efficiency and convenience for busy households.
The home also includes a 328-square-foot front-load garage, offering secure parking and additional storage space. Below the main living areas, an unfinished basement with a 9-foot ceiling height provides excellent potential for future expansion, whether as additional living space, a workshop, or storage.
With 9-foot ceilings on the first floor and 8-foot ceilings on the second floor, the home maintains a comfortable and airy feel throughout. Built with durable 2x4 wall framing, it strikes a balance between cost-effectiveness and structural integrity.

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.
