Stunning 1,600 sq ft Beach Home with Spacious Porches and Functional Design

Magnolia Cottage 2 is a 1,600 sq ft coastal-style residence designed with a compact 32 ft width and 70 ft depth, making it suitable for narrow lots. The structure utilizes 2x6 wall framing and sits on a pier foundation, providing an elevated profile that reaches a maximum building height of 29 ft. A 9:12 roof pitch defines the exterior silhouette, complemented by 492 sq ft of total porch area that includes a 324 sq ft covered front porch, a rear porch, and a side porch for extended outdoor utility.

The interior layout centers on a 1,600 sq ft living area that incorporates a formal dining room, a dedicated keeping room, and a home office or study. The kitchen features an island layout that creates a direct connection to the living zones, while an integrated fireplace serves as a central point for the main floor. The inclusion of one half-bathroom on the main level supports the social areas, ensuring a practical configuration for daily use.

The second floor contains three bedrooms, including a primary suite equipped with a double vanity bathroom and walk-in closets. A second-floor laundry area is positioned near the bedrooms to minimize transit time for household chores. With 9-foot ceilings on the first floor, the interior maintains a sense of volume that enhances the flow between the primary living spaces and the home office.

A 1,515 sq ft garage area at the ground level provides parking for two cars and additional storage capacity. The integration of this large lower-level footprint allows for a separation between the parking zones and the primary living quarters above. This design ensures that the elevated living space is protected while maximizing the utility of the ground-level foundation.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half-bathroom, 1,600 sq ft total living area, 1,515 sq ft garage, 9:12 roof pitch, 9-foot first-floor ceilings, pier foundation, 2x6 wall framing, walk-in closets, kitchen island, home office, keeping room, and extensive porch coverage.

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 Stunning 1,600 sq ft Beach Home with Spacious Porches and Functional Design 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 Stunning 1,600 sq ft Beach Home with Spacious Porches and Functional Design 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 Stunning 1,600 sq ft Beach Home with Spacious Porches and Functional Design 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.
