Designed for effortless single-level living, this thoughtfully crafted modern house plan delivers timeless comfort, modern flow, and inviting indoor-outdoor connections—all within a highly efficient 1,680 square feet of heated living space. With three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and expansive covered porches at both the front and rear, this home offers a balanced blend of everyday practicality and architectural warmth, making it ideal for families, downsizers, or anyone seeking simplified living without compromise.
The exterior presents a clean, approachable profile with low-slope rooflines and classic ranch proportions that emphasize horizontal balance and ease of access. Covered front and back porches extend the living space outdoors, creating sheltered areas perfect for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or entertaining friends in comfort. Whether situated on a suburban lot or a rural setting, the home’s porch-forward design enhances curb appeal while supporting relaxed, year-round outdoor enjoyment.
Inside, the layout opens into a welcoming foyer that immediately reveals the home’s open-concept heart. The great room anchors the design with generous proportions and a seamless connection to the kitchen and formal dining area. This open floor plan encourages natural movement and conversation, allowing the home to feel both spacious and connected. Large wall spans provide flexibility for furniture placement, while the overall layout supports everyday living as well as casual entertaining.
The kitchen is positioned at the center of the home, thoughtfully designed to serve as both a functional workspace and a social hub. A generous kitchen island with an eating bar offers additional prep space and casual seating, making it ideal for quick meals or hosting guests. Nearby, a walk-in pantry keeps storage organized and accessible, while the kitchen’s direct connection to the dining area supports effortless serving and gathering.
The formal dining room adds a touch of traditional charm and versatility, offering a dedicated space for family dinners, holiday celebrations, or even use as a flex area for hobbies or work-from-home needs. Its placement near the kitchen maintains convenience while allowing the dining experience to feel distinct and intentional.
The private primary suite is quietly tucked away, offering a peaceful retreat from the main living areas. Designed with comfort in mind, the suite includes a sitting area that adds flexibility for reading, relaxation, or personal downtime. The en-suite bathroom features a double vanity, a walk-in closet, and a private bath layout that enhances both functionality and privacy—ideal for daily routines without crowding.
Two additional bedrooms are positioned to provide comfort and accessibility, sharing a well-appointed full bathroom. Each bedroom offers ample closet space and easy access to the main living areas.
Additional highlights include a first-floor laundry room conveniently located for everyday use, reinforcing the home’s commitment to practical, step-free living. With no stairs and all essential spaces on one level, this modern-style plan is well suited for long-term comfort and aging-in-place considerations.
Blending open living, thoughtful privacy, and inviting outdoor spaces, this 3-bedroom modern house plan delivers a refined yet approachable lifestyle. It’s a home designed to feel comfortable from the moment you arrive—easy to live in, easy to love, and adaptable to a wide range of lifestyles.

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.
