This transitional-style home plan offers a perfect balance between classic architectural elements and modern design, delivering comfort, flexibility, and refined living within 1,560 square feet of heated space. Designed for homeowners who value simplicity with sophistication, this layout includes 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, and a variety of functional spaces that support both everyday living and entertaining.
With a total structure size of 2,186 square feet, including 626 square feet dedicated to a front-load 2-car garage, the home provides generous space for vehicles, storage, and hobbies. The overall footprint of 55 feet 4 inches wide by 53 feet 4 inches deep creates a spacious, single-story layout that fits well on medium to large lots.
The exterior reflects a transitional aesthetic, blending traditional proportions with clean modern lines. A welcoming stoop entry leads into a defined foyer, setting the tone for the thoughtfully designed interior. Inside, the home opens into a bright and airy open floor plan that seamlessly connects the main living areas.
The great room or keeping/family room serves as the central gathering space, enhanced by a cozy fireplace that adds warmth and visual appeal. Large, open sightlines connect this area to the kitchen and dining spaces, making it ideal for hosting guests or enjoying everyday family life.
The kitchen is designed with both efficiency and style in mind. It features a spacious kitchen island with an eating bar, offering additional prep space and casual seating. A walk-in pantry provides ample storage, keeping the kitchen organized and clutter-free. Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room offers a dedicated space for meals, adding a touch of traditional elegance to the modern layout.
A standout feature of this home is the inclusion of a home office or study, providing a quiet and private space for remote work, reading, or personal projects. This flexibility makes the home especially appealing for professionals or those who need a dedicated workspace.
The first-floor master suite is designed as a private retreat, offering both comfort and convenience. The bedroom connects to a private master bath, which includes a double vanity sink and ample space for daily routines. A generous walk-in closet provides excellent storage, enhancing organization and functionality.
Nearby, the first-floor laundry room adds everyday convenience, reducing the need for extra steps and making household tasks more efficient. A powder room is also included, ensuring easy access for guests without interfering with the home’s private areas.
Outdoor living is enhanced by a covered back porch, providing a comfortable space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining while enjoying fresh air and views of the surrounding property.
The home is built on an unfinished basement foundation with 8-foot ceiling height, offering valuable additional space for storage or future expansion. This flexibility allows homeowners to customize the space to fit their evolving needs, whether as a recreation area, workshop, or additional living quarters.
Constructed with 2x6 wall framing, the home emphasizes durability, energy efficiency, and modern building standards. The 9-foot ceiling height on the main floor contributes to an open and spacious interior feel, while the overall building height of 26 feet 4 inches maintains a balanced and attractive exterior profile.
Overall, this transitional home plan delivers a smart combination of style, comfort, and versatility. With its open layout, private master suite, dedicated office space, and expansion potential, it is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a modern yet timeless single-story design.

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.
