Pairs of peaked gables. Decorative brackets. Board-and-batten siding paired with wood shingles. These Craftsman embellishments make this multifamily duplex house plan feel as personalized as a single-family home. The floor plan calls attention to its open kitchen, dining room, and living room lay out; an arrangement that?s attractive to contemporary homeowners because of its convenience. The foyer easily provides space to hang coats and remove shoes thanks to a staircase entrance that?s opposite the front door. Many other amenities such as a walk-in pantry in the kitchen, a built-in desk and media center, a main-floor laundry room, and a kitchen island, are wish-list favorites. While the main-level floor plans are the same, varied upper-level plans give builders and developers the opportunity to market the plan according to the life stages and demographics of their buyers. One upper-level plan features an arrangement ideal for a family: two secondary bedrooms have private vanities and share a bath and a toilet area. In the second plan, the upper level offers a second master suite, complete with dual-sink vanity and walk-in closet as well as a large office area with built-ins. This layout works for singles who may share the space, work-at-home professionals, and couples caring for live-in relatives.
