Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Working with a narrow lot (only 52 ft wide, ideal for constrained sites)
  • Need rental income with private garages per unit (2-car garage attached to each side, four bays total)
  • Want a two-story layout for multi-generational living with clear separation (side-by-side duplex with private entrances)
  • Require walk-in pantry and kitchen island for meal prep (central kitchen per unit with both features)
  • Seeking second-floor laundry to reduce circulation (laundry on second floor with bedrooms)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Prefer a single-family home without shared walls or party walls (this is a duplex structure)
  • Need a large lot footprint (52 ft wide by 47 ft 8 in deep is designed for narrow sites)
  • Want a single-story layout (this is a two-story plan with stairs to the bedroom level)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Two-Story Duplex for Narrow Lots with Private Garages

This two-story duplex provides 2,836 square feet total (1,418 sq ft per unit) on a compact 52 ft by 47 ft 8 in footprint, making it ideal for narrow lots. Each unit features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bathroom, with a side-by-side layout that maintains distinct residential zones for privacy and independent occupancy.

The main floor spans 1,308 square feet total (654 sq ft per unit), anchored by an open-concept kitchen, dining, and family room with a central island and walk-in pantry. A fireplace creates a focal point, while 9-foot ceilings enhance volume. A mud room and first-floor entry connect directly to each unit's private 2-car front-load garage (434 sq ft per unit).

The second floor (764 sq ft per unit) houses the private bedrooms, with the primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. Secondary bedrooms share a full bathroom, and second-floor laundry optimizes circulation. Built to 27 feet tall with a 6:12 and 8:12 roof pitch on a basement foundation, this traditional duplex is engineered for multi-family income or extended-family living.

We compared three plan sources and Archival's pricing + free design call won us over. Our builder said the construction docs were the cleanest he'd seen.
