The Hemingway house plan is a 3,869 sq ft duplex configuration designed for multi-family utility and rental income potential. With a 54'10" width and 54' depth, this structure maximizes site coverage while providing a symmetrical layout across two levels. The design features a front-load 762 sq ft garage, allowing for 2 vehicles per unit, which keeps the primary architectural lines focused on the covered front porch and rear porch exterior elements.
Occupying 1,629 sq ft on the first floor and 2,240 sq ft on the second floor, the interior layout prioritizes a clear division between social and private zones. Each unit contains two kitchens and a total of 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, complemented by 2 half bathrooms. The second-floor master suite and clustered bedroom arrangements maintain privacy for occupants, while the inclusion of a loft area provides a flexible space for a home office or secondary living area.
Vertical volume is defined by 9-foot ceilings throughout both residential levels, creating consistent sightlines and light distribution. The inclusion of a walkout basement foundation with 9-foot ceiling heights offers significant opportunities for expansion or climate-controlled storage. The building envelope utilizes 2x6 wall framing for thermal efficiency, supported by a 10:12 roof pitch that contributes to the 32'3" maximum building height profile.
Practicality is integrated through the second-floor laundry placement and the 213 sq ft of total porch area, which extends the usable footprint for outdoor access. The structural design relies on truss roof framing, ensuring a standardized and efficient build process for multi-generational or investment-grade residential projects requiring four bedrooms and multiple bathroom facilities.
