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 investment property (6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms total across two units)
  • Working with a narrow lot — the design is just 48 ft wide
  • Want a single-story layout with no stairs (one-story duplex)
  • Need independent laundry on each unit's main floor (first-floor laundry in each unit)
  • Seeking efficient storage solutions (walk-in pantry in each unit)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-family home — this is a duplex design with two separate units
  • Want a large garage — each unit has only a 2-car garage
  • Prefer a two-story layout for more vertical space — this is single-story only
  • Need more than 3 bedrooms per unit — each side has 3 bedrooms

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

The Stylish 3-Bedroom Duplex with Open Layout and Front Porch presents a symmetrical, high-efficiency structure totaling 2,240 sq ft of heated living area. Designed for multi-family or investment applications, this duplex occupies a 48 ft wide by 59 ft deep footprint. Each of the two units provides 1,120 sq ft of interior space, ensuring a balanced distribution of square footage across both dwellings.

The interior of each unit centers on an open-concept core that integrates the kitchen, breakfast area, and living space. A dedicated kitchen island serves as the primary anchor for the social zone, facilitating direct sightlines throughout the main floor. The configuration places a private master suite on the main level, separated from two additional bedrooms to maintain clear acoustic and spatial boundaries between the primary sleeping quarters and secondary rooms.

With 9-foot ceiling heights throughout the main level, the interior volume enhances natural light penetration and creates a sense of scale within the 1,120 sq ft floor plates. The structural profile is defined by a 6:12 roof pitch and a maximum building height of 21 ft 6 in, providing a consistent exterior aesthetic that adheres to standard residential zoning requirements for multi-family housing.

Operational utility is supported by a 462 sq ft front-load garage, which accommodates 2 vehicles. The exterior includes a 30 sq ft covered front porch that provides a transition into the main living areas. The design incorporates a first-floor laundry zone and a walk-in pantry to maximize the utility of the available square footage, ensuring that each unit operates with full independence.

Key Features: 2,240 sq ft total heated area, 3 bedrooms per unit, 2 bathrooms per unit, open-concept floor plan, kitchen island, walk-in pantry, master-on-main, 9-foot ceiling heights, 6:12 roof pitch, 2-car front-load garage.

We compared three plan sources and Archival's pricing + free design call won us over. Our builder said the construction docs were the cleanest he'd seen.
