This 2,542 sq. ft. contemporary luxury ranch home with a daylight basement and three-car front-load garage blends modern architectural restraint with the warmth and comfort of high-end single-level living. From the moment you approach its 83-foot-wide façade, the clean horizontal lines, subtle 4:12 roof pitch, and expansive covered front porch establish a quiet architectural confidence—elegant without excess, refined without rigidity. Inside, the home opens into a breathtaking two-story grand room, where a soaring wall of glass, a sculptural fireplace, and curated sightlines to the central courtyard create a dynamic interplay of light, volume, and modern serenity. The open floor plan flows seamlessly into the keeping/family room, the formal dining area, and the gourmet kitchen—complete with a large island, walk-in pantry, and breakfast nook that frames morning light beautifully. This layout naturally elevates long-tail keywords such as contemporary luxury ranch home with two-story great room, modern courtyard ranch house plan, and open-concept single-story home with expansive porches. With 920 sq. ft. of covered outdoor space, including a generous rear porch that extends living areas into the landscape, the home embodies the essence of indoor-outdoor contemporary living.
The split-bedroom design prioritizes privacy and comfort. The first-floor master suite functions as a personal retreat, enhanced by a tranquil sitting area, a spa-inspired double-vanity bath, and an oversized walk-in closet designed for a luxury wardrobe. Direct access to the laundry room offers daily convenience rarely found in modern ranch plans. Across the home, the guest suite enjoys its own private bath and soft separation from the main living spaces—ideal for long-term guests, multigenerational living, or sophisticated hosting. A dedicated home office/study provides a private workspace, while the mud room and dual laundry access points (from both the garage and the master suite) support seamless everyday circulation. Large windows maintain strong visual connections to the courtyard and rear porch, giving each space a calm, contemporary rhythm and reinforcing the home’s modern-luxury appeal.
Below, the 1,870 sq. ft. daylight basement with 10-foot ceilings introduces extraordinary potential for future custom luxury—whether transformed into a media lounge, gym, wine cellar, guest retreat, or creative studio. Natural light floods the lower level, allowing finished spaces to feel elevated, not subterranean. Significant unfinished storage areas enhance practicality without compromising the basement’s design versatility. The 1,180 sq. ft. three-car garage provides abundant space for vehicles, equipment, and hobbies, mirroring the home’s overall commitment to modern efficiency. Altogether, this home stands out as a masterclass in contemporary luxury ranch design, ideal for buyers seeking a single-story plan with a grand architectural presence, expansive covered outdoor living, a private courtyard, and a high-ceiling customizable basement. Every detail—from the soaring great room to the serene owner’s suite—creates a living experience that is elegant, effortless, and timelessly modern.

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.
