About this plan

Paired one-car garages create a strong central anchor in this traditional duplex plan, giving each 1,481-square-foot residence the appearance of an individual two-story home rather than a connected multifamily structure. The 48-foot overall width and modest 4:12 roof pitch keep the exterior balanced and compact, while separate front porches establish independent entries for both households.Inside each unit, the main level is organized around an open living, dining, and kitchen arrangement that makes the shared spaces feel broader than the footprint suggests. The stair is positioned to maintain clear circulation between the garage entry and the living areas without interrupting the central gathering space. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are grouped together, including a primary suite with a private bath, while two secondary bedrooms share a full bathroom off the hall.Each residence includes a 231-square-foot attached garage, a dedicated front porch, and a compact two-story form that works well on narrow multifamily lots. The mirrored layout simplifies construction while preserving privacy between units through separate entrances and vertically stacked living zones. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
