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 multi-family investment or rental property—two separate units in one structure (8+ bedrooms, 8 bathrooms total)
  • Need multi-generational housing—each unit is self-contained with its own kitchen and laundry
  • Working with moderate lot dimensions—fits a 50 ft wide × 44 ft deep site efficiently
  • Want income potential—duplex layout suits owner-occupied plus rental or full dual-lease scenarios
  • Seeking flexible sleeping arrangements—8+ bedrooms across the duplex accommodate large families or rotating occupants
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Want a single-family home—this is a two-unit duplex design
  • Need a very compact footprint—3,538 sq ft across two stories is substantial
  • Have a narrow lot under 50 feet—this design requires 50 feet minimum width
  • Prefer a detached single-story home—this is a two-story attached duplex

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

This Craftsman duplex plan offers a high-density residential solution with 3,538 square feet total across two symmetrical units, ideal for multi-generational living or income-producing rental properties. Each unit contains 1,769 square feet and features its own entry, kitchen with central island, and primary bedroom suite on the second floor. The design provides 8+ total bedrooms and 8 full bathrooms across both units, supporting flexible occupancy.

Each unit's main floor includes an open-concept keeping room adjacent to the kitchen, a formal dining area, and a home office or study. The split-bedroom layout separates primary and secondary sleeping quarters for privacy. Second-floor laundry facilities and 9-foot ceilings throughout enhance daily functionality. The covered front porch at 98 square feet provides an attractive entry buffer.

Built for a 50-foot width and 44-foot depth, this duplex maximizes efficiency on urban and suburban lots. The 8:12 roof pitch and 27-foot 4-inch maximum height maintain a residential profile while accommodating the dual-unit structure.
