Small Duplex House Plan | 896 Sq Ft Total | 2 Units, 1 Bed 1 Bath Each

Efficient 1-Bed Duplex Units for Rental or Multi-Gen Living

This duplex house plan provides 896 sq ft of total heated living space as two identical units, each offering 448 sq ft. Optimized for a 40 ft width and 24 ft depth, the design fits narrow lots and urban infill projects with a modest 15 ft 6 in building height.

Each unit features an open-concept core where a kitchen island serves as a functional divider between the great room and meal zone. A 9 ft ceiling height maximizes the sense of volume despite the compact footprint. The private bedroom suite includes a walk-in closet and bathroom with double vanity sink, while a wall pantry supplies storage efficiency. A 32 sq ft covered front porch defines the entry for both residents.

Built on a slab foundation with 2x4 wall framing, the total building footprint of 928 sq ft minimizes maintenance overhead while maximizing rental potential or dual-occupancy flexibility. This layout is ideal for long-term income, multi-generational arrangements, or owner-occupant scenarios where two separate living units add value.
