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…
  • • Building a duplex or multi-family rental property on a narrow urban lot (just 35 ft wide with 4-car tandem garage)
  • • Creating multi-generational housing with substantial per-unit space (6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths per side, 1,804 sf second floor)
  • • Maximizing vehicle storage in confined spaces (tandem 4-car garage, 1,064 sf dedicated parking)
  • • Want abundant outdoor living access (476 sf deck plus 202 sf porch across three levels)
  • • Seeking an open main level for entertaining (10-foot ceilings, kitchen island, keeping room, fireplace)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • • Need a single-family home — this is a duplex configuration serving two households
  • • Working with a lot wider than 40 feet — the design footprint is optimized for narrow sites only
  • • Prefer a ranch layout — this is a three-story plan with stairs between levels
  • • Want a modest footprint to control costs — 3,600+ sf total spans two full units
  • • Need a main-floor owner's suite for accessibility — the primary suite is on the second floor

About this plan

Modern Urban Duplex for Narrow Lots

This contemporary duplex home plan delivers 3,608 square feet of heated living space across three stories, engineered for narrow urban lots measuring just 35 feet wide and 54 feet deep. The design features a walkout basement with a tandem 4-car garage, providing ample vehicle storage in space-constrained locations. Each unit includes 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, making this layout ideal for multi-generational living or as a high-yield rental property.

The main level spans 1,594 square feet and showcases an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area anchored by a fireplace and 10-foot ceiling heights. A kitchen island and keeping room add flexibility to daily living, while the second floor contains 1,804 square feet of private quarters. The primary suite features a private sun deck, and secondary bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom to maximize efficiency. A centralized second-floor laundry closet streamlines household management.

Outdoor living is prioritized with 476 square feet of deck space and 202 square feet of porch area distributed across multiple levels. The structure employs 2x6 exterior framing and an 8:12 roof pitch, reaching a maximum height of 34 feet. This plan accommodates duplex or multi-family configurations on constrained sites.
