Modern Duplex House Plans
Modern duplexes usually have a drive-under garage that helps builders make maximum use of the lot. An underneath garage is often an ideal solution for multiple-family homes. It consolidates the foundation and dramatically expands the dimensions of the home’s interior.
A lot size of approximately 2900 square feet can give you luxury duplex floor plans with 3 bedrooms. The kitchen is on the main floor and provides enough space to entertain guests. The 3 bedrooms are upstairs, including a spacious master suite. The master has a five-piece bath set and a big walk-in closet.
Therefore, if you choose this plan, storage will not be a problem in your home. The laundry on the main floor, the multiple closets upstairs, and the storage room downstairs provide dedicated spaces that help declutter the other parts of the home. The lower unit can also have a shop inside the garage, including a media room.
3 Bedroom Duplex House Plans
Most often than not, these house plans feature front porches with rails and front gables that lend a country house flavor to them. Each bedroom unit has enough living space that only becomes evident when you step in. Also, the shared walls separating the two apartments will usually be thick enough to ensure privacy.
In many cases, you will usually find a slim window by the door that allows natural light to spill into the home’s entry. From the entry, one can step into a large open space, stretching from the front window of the living room to the rear where the kitchen is positioned. A common feature here is a peninsular counter surrounded by an eating bar which partly divides the kitchen.
Furthermore, you can have different sets of wide and small windows that allow light to flow into the living room and dining area. The ideal kitchen will be step-efficient with appliances and counters wrapped around its three corners and the pantry situated at the fourth corner.
The patio will also be covered, allowing access into it through a sliding glass door at the kitchen’s rear. In most plans, this patio can be viewed through the window facing the sink. You may also find a mini bathroom by the corner, near the door that leads into the garage.
Most common plans have 2 more bathrooms and 3 bedrooms upstairs. The master suite will feature a personal bathroom with a large window. In many cases, the closet spans a full wall unless the design includes a walk-in closet. The other bedrooms will likely share bathrooms that feature a shower and tub combo as well as a closet.
