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…
  • Starting a rental property portfolio or income-generating investment (duplex configuration with two complete units)
  • Seeking flexible housing for extended family while maintaining separate living spaces (2 bedrooms, 2 baths per unit)
  • Working with a narrow lot constraint—the plan is only 38 feet wide
  • Both household members need dedicated home offices (separate office in each residence)
  • Want both front and rear outdoor living areas for each unit (covered front and rear porches)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a traditional single-family home—this is a two-unit duplex design
  • Require garage parking or vehicle storage (no garage in this plan)
  • Prefer upstairs bedrooms or multi-story living (single-story duplex only)
  • Need 4+ bedrooms in one residence (each unit contains 2 bedrooms)

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Modern Duplex with Office Space & Dual Porches

This modern duplex house plan efficiently divides 1,384 square feet into two independent residential units of 692 square feet each, designed for rental income, multigenerational living, or owner-occupied flexibility. The 38-foot-wide by 47-foot-deep footprint accommodates smaller lots while maintaining privacy and functional outdoor living for both households.

Nine-foot ceilings throughout the main floor create a bright, open atmosphere within each unit. The keeping or family room connects seamlessly to the kitchen, where a central island and wall pantry maximize functionality and storage. Each residence includes two bedrooms and two full bathrooms—an uncommon luxury in compact duplexes—plus a dedicated home office or study.

First-floor master suites with walk-in closets and private bathrooms provide comfort and convenience. Outdoor living is integrated through covered front porches (18 square feet per unit) and private rear porches (92 square feet per unit), creating inviting entry experiences and sheltered relaxation areas. Built on a slab foundation with 2x4 framing, the design emphasizes straightforward construction and long-term efficiency.
