This elegant European-style house plan offers a refined blend of classic architectural character and modern single-level living, making it an excellent choice for families who value both sophistication and everyday practicality. With 2,211 square feet of heated living space, four bedrooms, and an unfinished basement, this thoughtfully designed home delivers generous space, flexible functionality, and timeless curb appeal.
The home spans an impressive 50 feet wide by 82 feet 1 inch deep, creating a commanding presence while remaining well-balanced and livable. A dramatic 12:12 roof pitch and traditional stick roof framing reinforce the European aesthetic, contributing to a total building height of 26 feet 8 inches. Architectural elements such as the inviting veranda and side porch enhance the exterior, offering charming outdoor spaces ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying quiet moments outdoors.
Inside, the entire living area is located on the first floor, providing convenient, step-free living throughout. Nine-foot ceilings create an open and airy feel, while the carefully planned layout promotes effortless flow between shared and private spaces. The heart of the home is the expansive open floor plan, where the kitchen, breakfast area, and keeping/family room connect seamlessly.
A cozy fireplace anchors the family room, adding warmth and visual interest, while the adjacent breakfast area offers a bright and welcoming space for casual dining. The kitchen is designed for both function and style, featuring a spacious layout with a walk-in pantry that provides exceptional storage and organization. Nearby, a formal dining room offers a dedicated space for hosting gatherings, holidays, and special occasions.
The home includes four well-proportioned bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged to support privacy and comfort. The first-floor master suite serves as a private retreat, set apart from secondary bedrooms for added tranquility. This suite features a generous walk-in closet and a luxurious private master bathroom complete with a double vanity sink, offering a spa-like experience within the home.
Secondary bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests, or home office use, while a centrally located full bathroom ensures convenience for family members and visitors alike.
Everyday functionality is enhanced by a dedicated first-floor laundry room, strategically positioned with direct access from the garage. This practical feature simplifies daily routines and keeps household tasks efficiently organized. A nearby utility room adds further convenience, offering additional space for mechanical systems and storage.
The 545-square-foot, front-load, 2-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, tools, and seasonal equipment while maintaining a clean and cohesive exterior appearance. Below the main living level, the unfinished basement features a generous 9-foot ceiling height, offering outstanding potential for future expansion. This space can easily be transformed into additional living areas such as a recreation room, guest suite, home gym, or workshop, allowing the home to grow with changing needs.
With its graceful European styling, single-story living, open-concept design, and flexible expansion options, this house plan is perfectly suited for homeowners seeking elegance, comfort, and long-term versatility in a timeless architectural package.

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.
