This 4,608 sq. ft. luxury courtyard house plan with elevator and five-car garage is designed for homeowners seeking an extraordinary blend of architectural drama, sprawling indoor–outdoor living, and refined modern comfort. Stretching an impressive 149'6" wide with steeply pitched 9:12 and 7:12 rooflines, the home introduces itself with the presence of a private estate—yet tempers its grandeur with warm, human-scaled details. The expansive covered front porch, elegant column spacing, and deep roof overhangs create a welcoming sequence of arrival, while the central courtyard infuses the interior with natural light and an intimate sense of retreat. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, strategic volume variations, and large-scale windows allow the great room, keeping room, and formal dining room to feel both luminous and architecturally grounded. A chef-inspired kitchen with an oversized island, walk-in pantry, and seating bar transitions effortlessly into the breakfast area, encouraging casual gathering throughout the day. The wet bar enhances entertaining potential, making this design ideal for those who envision hosting both elegant celebrations and relaxed outdoor evenings.
The main-floor master suite elevates the home’s sense of sanctuary with a private sitting area, a double-vanity bath, and a generous walk-in closet designed for seasonal wardrobes and organizational ease. The placement of the suite offers seclusion without sacrificing accessibility to the home’s central living spaces. A dedicated home office/den, mud room, and first-floor laundry further enhance practicality, while the elevator ensures seamless movement to every level and long-term livability. The second floor embraces a cluster-bedroom layout, accompanied by a second-floor laundry for modern convenience. With its 9-foot ceilings, this upper level provides an ideal environment for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living. Views overlooking the courtyard and rear outdoor living areas highlight one of the home’s signature luxuries—its expansive relationship with the outdoors. The 1,960 sq. ft. of porches, including a spectacular outdoor fireplace, create year-round opportunities for relaxation, entertainment, and scenic enjoyment.
Below, the 2,237 sq. ft. unfinished basement with 10-foot ceilings offers extraordinary future potential for a home theater, fitness studio, wine cellar, gaming lounge, hobby workshop, or additional bedroom suites. This generous lower level supports large-scale customization and anchors the long-tail keyword appeal of a luxury estate house plan with high-ceiling unfinished basement. Combined with the 2595 sq. ft., five-bay side-and-front-load garage, the home caters effortlessly to car collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, and families needing extensive storage. Throughout the design, architectural cohesion is maintained by balanced massing, contrasting roof pitches, and large-format windows that echo the sophistication of custom estate homes. Together, these elements naturally integrate major SEO targets such as a luxury two-story house plan with courtyard, wide-spanning estate home with elevator, house plan with dual laundry rooms and master on main, and a five-car garage floor plan for multi-generational living—all while delivering a seamlessly livable, deeply comfortable environment.

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.
