This traditional house design presents a balanced and functional single-story layout, thoughtfully composed to support modern living while maintaining classic architectural appeal. With a total heated living area of 2,351 square feet, the home offers a spacious and efficient arrangement centered on accessibility, comfort, and cohesive spatial organization.
The exterior composition is defined by its broad proportions and the inclusion of a covered front porch, which establishes a welcoming point of entry while reinforcing the home’s traditional character. A side porch further enhances the structure’s connection to the outdoors, providing an additional transitional space that supports relaxation and informal use. The overall dimensions—64 feet 8 inches in width and 58 feet 10 inches in depth—create a substantial yet well-balanced footprint.
Inside, the plan is organized around an open-concept living area that integrates the great room, kitchen, and dining spaces into a unified environment. The great room serves as the central gathering space, anchored by a fireplace that introduces warmth and a visual focal point. Its open connection to the kitchen and dining areas promotes ease of movement and interaction, making the home well-suited for both daily living and entertaining.
The kitchen is designed as a functional and social hub, featuring a central island and eating bar that accommodate meal preparation and casual dining. A walk-in pantry provides ample storage, ensuring that the kitchen remains organized and efficient. Adjacent to this space, the formal dining room offers a more structured setting for meals, balancing the openness of the plan with a defined area for gatherings.
The primary suite is located on the first floor, providing a private and accessible retreat. This space includes a spacious bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a well-appointed bath with dual vanity sinks. Its placement within the layout ensures separation from secondary bedrooms, enhancing both privacy and comfort.
Two additional bedrooms are arranged within the home, each with convenient access to shared bathroom facilities. This configuration supports family living or guest accommodations while maintaining efficient use of space. A powder room is also included, providing convenience for visitors without encroaching on private areas.
Practical elements are thoughtfully integrated throughout the design. A dedicated first-floor laundry area contributes to daily efficiency, while additional storage spaces enhance organization. The home’s single-level layout ensures ease of access, making it suitable for a wide range of occupants.
One of the most significant features of this design is the inclusion of an unfinished basement, which mirrors the footprint of the main level. With an 8-foot ceiling height, this space offers substantial potential for future development, whether for additional living areas, recreational use, or storage. Its unfinished condition allows for customization over time, providing long-term flexibility.
The attached three-car garage, totaling 693 square feet, is configured with a side-load orientation. This arrangement preserves the visual prominence of the front façade while offering ample space for vehicles and storage.
Constructed with 2x4 wall framing and a 6:12 roof pitch, the home reflects a straightforward and durable approach to building. The overall building height of 24 feet 4 inches maintains a balanced vertical profile, while consistent 9-foot ceilings throughout the main level contribute to a comfortable sense of openness.
In its entirety, this traditional house plan offers a harmonious blend of classic design and modern practicality. Its open layout, adaptable basement, and well-integrated features create a residence that is both functional and enduring, suited to meet a variety of contemporary living needs.
The construction drawings will include detailed, dimensioned floor plans, exterior elevations, roof plan, foundation plan, basic electrical layout, cross-section(s), foundation plan, and other general specifications. Some plans will include interior cabinet layouts.

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.
