Gardner House Plan

Modern Duplex Townhouse for Narrow Lots

The Gardner is a contemporary two-unit duplex spanning 3,460 sq ft total, designed for narrow-lot urban infill or rental-income properties. Each identical unit contains 1,730 sq ft across two stories, with no shared interior walls. The main floor of each unit features 10-foot ceilings, an open-concept layout with a kitchen island, living area, half bathroom, and access to a 200 sq ft rear porch. The upper floor includes three bedrooms and two full baths per unit, with a Jack and Jill bathroom serving secondary bedrooms and an upstairs laundry.

The building footprint is just 42 ft 4 in wide and 57 ft deep — ideal for properties with width constraints. The contemporary profile is defined by vertical siding and an 8:12 roof pitch, reaching 24 ft 11 in tall. Each unit features walk-in closets in the primary suite, a private balcony, and maximum ceiling heights that enhance perceived space. The design uses 2x6 exterior wall framing and a slab foundation for solid construction.

Total amenities across both units: 6 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, and 512 sq ft of covered outdoor space. The layout is ideal for investors seeking a legal duplex on tight urban lots or for builders working with narrow or corner properties.
