This traditional one-story residence reflects the enduring qualities of classic American home design, combining generous living spaces, practical functionality, and timeless architectural character. Carefully planned to accommodate the needs of modern households while preserving familiar residential traditions, the home offers a spacious and welcoming environment designed for long-term comfort and everyday convenience.
Containing 2,582 square feet of heated living area, the residence is arranged entirely on a single level, providing ease of access and efficient circulation throughout. The structure encompasses approximately 3,499 total square feet under roof, including covered porches and an attached two-car garage. Measuring 77 feet wide and 57 feet 8 inches deep, the home presents a substantial yet balanced profile that is equally suited to suburban neighborhoods, estate lots, and rural settings.
The exterior composition is distinguished by traditional proportions and a steep 9:12 roof pitch that lends the residence a strong architectural presence. Constructed with a crawl space foundation, conventional 2x4 exterior wall framing, and a stick-framed roof system, the home reflects proven building methods that have long contributed to the durability and adaptability of traditional residential architecture. An overall building height of 27 feet further reinforces the home's stately appearance while maintaining a comfortable residential scale.
A welcoming covered front porch establishes an inviting entry sequence and serves as a visual focal point for the façade. The porch contributes to the home's traditional charm while providing a sheltered outdoor space for relaxation and casual conversation. At the rear of the residence, an additional covered porch extends the living environment outdoors, creating an ideal setting for family gatherings, outdoor dining, and year-round enjoyment of the surrounding landscape.
Upon entering the home, a formal foyer introduces visitors to the carefully organized interior. This transitional space provides a sense of arrival while establishing clear connections to both the public and private areas of the residence. Adjacent to the foyer, a formal dining room preserves an important element of traditional home design, offering a dedicated setting for holiday celebrations, family dinners, and special occasions.
At the heart of the home is a spacious great room designed to function as the primary gathering area. Anchored by a fireplace, this central living space creates a warm and inviting atmosphere while serving as a natural focal point for family activities and entertaining. The great room flows seamlessly into the kitchen and breakfast area, reflecting contemporary preferences for open-concept living while maintaining a sense of architectural order.
The kitchen is designed to support both daily routines and social interaction. A large eating bar provides additional seating and workspace, while the adjoining breakfast area offers a casual dining alternative. A generously sized walk-in pantry enhances storage and organization, ensuring that the kitchen remains highly functional for households of varying sizes.
The residence includes four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a conveniently located powder room. The private owner's suite serves as a comfortable retreat, featuring a spacious bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a well-appointed bath with dual vanities. The thoughtful placement of the suite provides privacy while maintaining convenient access to the home's primary living spaces.
Three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family members, guests, or evolving household needs. One of the home's most distinctive features is its dedicated exercise room, providing a private area for fitness activities, wellness routines, or alternative uses such as a hobby room, study, or home office. This specialized space enhances the home's versatility and supports contemporary lifestyles.
Additional practical features include a first-floor laundry room and an attached front-entry two-car garage containing approximately 552 square feet. These elements contribute to the home's efficiency while supporting organized daily living.
Blending classic architectural character with modern functionality, this traditional house plan offers a thoughtfully balanced environment for family life. Its spacious single-level layout, dedicated exercise room, open living areas, and inviting outdoor spaces create a residence that is both timeless in appearance and highly adaptable for contemporary living.

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.
