House Plan of the Week: Family-Friendly Duplex

This multifamily design keeps things simple but family-friendly with four bedrooms for each unit.

2 MIN READ

Recent years have brought quite a few notable duplex designs to the market. So what sets this one apart?

For starters, each unit boasts four bedrooms. That makes it attractive to families, or anyone who needs extra room for working, guests, etc.

Thinking about build-to-rent? This could be an option. The relatively simple design keeps costs down, especially with no garage. That also makes it a potentially good fit for an infill lot.

On the main floor, each unit features identical open living areas. Details matter, like the powder bath that’s positioned out of sight down the hall, and a closet near the back entry.

Also on this level: the main suite, showcasing laundry in the walk-in closet and two sinks in the private bathroom.

Upstairs, three more bedrooms provide space for family, friends, or working from home. A Jack and Jill bathroom adds utility when everyone’s trying to brush their teeth. And another laundry room up here adds convenience.
