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…
  • Seeking rental income — two independent residences maximize earning potential (6 bedrooms, 4 full baths total)
  • Building for a multi-generational household needing private, separate living spaces (two complete units)
  • Want identical floor plans in each residence for easy marketing and tenant placement
  • Plan to age in place while keeping family nearby — each unit has its own owner's suite and laundry
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a single-family home — this is designed as two separate residences
  • Want a single-story layout — each unit spans two floors with stairs
  • Don't want to manage or maintain a duplex structure — this requires coordination of shared systems
  • Need a main-floor master suite — both owner's suites are on the second floor

About this plan

Income-Producing Duplex for Multi-Generational or Investment Living

This traditional duplex combines timeless appeal with the flexibility of two complete residences under one roof. Totaling 2,868 square feet of heated living space, the plan features two identical units (Unit A and Unit B), each providing 1,434 square feet across two levels. This arrangement is ideal for extended families seeking privacy within shared ownership, investors looking to generate rental income, or multigenerational households balancing closeness with independence.

Each unit is designed identically: 724 square feet on the main floor and 710 square feet upstairs. The main level features an open-concept layout with a family room, kitchen with island, eating bar, formal dining room, and wall pantry. A powder room serves both residents and guests. Upstairs, each unit offers an owner's suite with private bath and walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms, a shared bath, and second-floor laundry. The unfinished basement provides substantial expansion potential for storage, recreation, or future finishing. A covered front porch reinforces the home's traditional character while enhancing curb appeal.

  • 2,868 sq ft total (1,434 per unit); 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half baths
  • Two identical, independent floor plans
  • Kitchen island, eating bar, formal dining in each unit
  • Second-floor laundry and private owner's suites in each unit

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.
