The Stafford is a compact, highly functional single-level home that pairs efficient living with generous storage, workshop, and garage space.
The Stafford is designed for simple, efficient living without sacrificing practicality. With 830 square feet of finished first-floor living area, a 915-square-foot garage, and a 735-square-foot basement, this plan offers a thoughtful balance of comfort, utility, and long-term flexibility.
The main living level is organized around an open kitchen and living space, creating an easy flow for everyday routines. The kitchen is compact and efficient, with a pantry nearby and direct connection to the living area. Large windows and simple circulation help the home feel open, bright, and comfortable despite its modest footprint.
The private primary suite includes a well-proportioned bedroom, walk-in closet, and attached bath. Its single-level layout makes The Stafford especially appealing for those seeking a smaller home, accessory dwelling, guest house, downsizing option, or future-ready residence.
A defining feature of The Stafford is its generous garage. At approximately 21 by 41 feet, the garage provides far more than basic parking. It can support storage, a workshop, equipment, recreational gear, or other flexible uses that often make a compact home live much larger.
Below the main living area, the basement adds valuable storage and utility space, with the potential to support future needs depending on site conditions and local code requirements.
With its classic rooflines, simple massing, and efficient plan, The Stafford offers a practical and enduring option for homeowners who want compact living paired with meaningful support space.

Our homes are designed to work on all kinds of sites—open, wooded, even sloped. To know exactly what you can build where, it’s best to have a local professional confirm your buildable area and prepare a recent survey of your property.
Each Birch Grove plan includes a detailed set of architectural drawings—floor plans, elevations, sections, and key construction details—along with a specifications guide to support informed material selections. Together, these provide your builder with clear, buildable guidance from foundation to finishes.
