Income-Producing Traditional Duplex House Plan with 6 Bedrooms

This thoughtfully designed traditional duplex residence combines timeless architectural character with the flexibility and functionality required for modern multi-family living. Featuring two identical living units arranged within a unified structure, the design provides an attractive solution for extended families, income-producing properties, multigenerational households, or long-term investment opportunities. Its balanced proportions, efficient layouts, and comfortable living spaces create a residence that successfully blends privacy with shared architectural appeal.

Containing a total of 2,868 square feet of heated living space, the duplex is divided into Unit A and Unit B, each providing 1,434 square feet of living area. Every unit is arranged across two levels, with 724 square feet on the main floor and 710 square feet on the second floor. Beneath the living spaces, an unfinished basement offers valuable expansion potential and additional storage opportunities. Combined, the structure encompasses approximately 3,025.5 square feet under roof, including covered porch areas that enhance both curb appeal and functionality.

The architecture reflects the enduring qualities of traditional residential design through its balanced façade, inviting proportions, and practical floor plan arrangement. Constructed with durable 2x4 wall framing, the residence combines efficient building methods with lasting appeal. Nine-foot ceilings on the first floor create an open and spacious atmosphere, while eight-foot ceilings on the second floor provide comfortable bedroom accommodations. The unfinished basement includes nine-foot ceilings, creating excellent opportunities for future finishing, storage, workshop space, recreation areas, or utility functions.

A covered front porch establishes a welcoming entrance and reinforces the home's traditional character. This feature creates an attractive transition between the exterior and interior while contributing to the overall visual appeal of the duplex. Despite housing two separate residences, the structure maintains the appearance of a cohesive and thoughtfully designed home.

Each unit is organized around an open-concept main floor that promotes comfortable daily living and efficient circulation. The family or keeping room serves as the central gathering area and provides ample space for relaxation, entertainment, and family activities. Its open relationship with the kitchen and dining areas enhances the sense of spaciousness while supporting contemporary lifestyles that prioritize connectivity and interaction.

The kitchen serves as both a functional workspace and a social hub. A center island provides additional preparation space while creating opportunities for casual conversation and gathering. An adjoining eating bar offers convenient seating for informal meals and everyday dining. A nearby wall pantry contributes valuable storage space, helping maintain organization and efficiency within the kitchen environment.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room provides a dedicated setting for family dinners, celebrations, and entertaining guests. This room introduces an element of traditional elegance while remaining conveniently connected to the home's primary living spaces.

A powder room located on the main floor enhances convenience for residents and visitors alike. Its strategic placement supports entertaining while preserving privacy within the upper-level living quarters.

The second floor of each unit is dedicated to private accommodations. The owner's suite serves as a comfortable retreat and includes a private bathroom designed to support everyday comfort and functionality. Its separation from the main living areas creates a peaceful environment while maintaining convenient access to the remainder of the home.

Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family members, guests, home offices, or changing household needs. A shared full bathroom serves these bedrooms efficiently, ensuring convenience for all occupants.

A particularly desirable feature of each unit is the second-floor laundry area. Located near all bedrooms, this arrangement streamlines household routines and reduces the need to carry laundry between floors, enhancing everyday convenience.

Collectively, the duplex contains six bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms, providing ample accommodations for multiple households while maintaining privacy and independence within each residence. The unfinished basement further increases the property's versatility and long-term value.

Combining traditional architectural appeal with practical multi-family functionality, this duplex offers an exceptional solution for homeowners and investors alike. Its open-concept floor plans, private owner suites, unfinished basement, and efficient two-unit arrangement create a residence that balances comfort, flexibility, and enduring market appeal.

Review image
JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. This home has outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us. I work from home so having the home office off the foyer is fantastic. I converted the wet bar into a storage closet for my office. We also extended the laundry room into the porch and created a multipurpose laundry/mud room. I would buy from archival designs again and again.

It took almost a year to pick a plan. Since my husband and I retired a few years ago we wanted this last house had to have everything we wanted and needed. The kitchen is my favorite part of the house. I can see what’s happening in my neighborhood through my kitchen window and watch my husband garden in the back yard. Our children think we made a smart decision when we picked this house for our senior years.

We’ve had an amazing experience with our new home and are excited to be moved in. The customer service we received during our modifications was exceptional. We are loving the open layout of the kitchen and family room. It feels spacious and I’m already planning on hosting holiday dinners at home. We recommend Archival Designs to anyone interested in building the home they’ve always wanted!

We absolutely adore the Kildare Place house plan. Made some modifications to make this home ours! Our house is the talk of the neighborhood. We host big parties every holiday and still get compliments from our friends and family. We searched for months and looked through hundreds of floor plans and this one had almost everything we wanted, and with the help of the great staff at Archival Designs we got exactly what we wanted!

FAQ

Can I modify this Income-Producing Traditional Duplex House Plan with 6 Bedrooms now or later?

Absolutely. We offer in-house modification services to adjust layouts, room sizes, or expand garages before purchase. If you prefer to make adjustments during the construction phase, purchasing the CAD file package allows your local builder or architect to make on-site changes. Simply click 'Request a Modification' for a free quote.

How much will it cost to build this Income-Producing Traditional Duplex House Plan with 6 Bedrooms and why aren't exact costs shown? 

Construction costs vary significantly ($150–$300+ per sq. ft.) based on your location, material choices, and local labor rates. Because site preparation and regional codes differ, it is hard to provide a universal cost always.

Will this Income-Producing Traditional Duplex House Plan with 6 Bedrooms fit my lot, and can I add a basement or flip the layout?

You can check the 'Modifications' tab for width and depth requirements. To fit your site's orientation, most plans are available in a 'Right Reading Reverse' (mirrored) format. We also offer slab, crawlspace, and basement foundation adjustments for every design.

Do your plans meet building codes in my area and do I need a professional stamp?

Our plans meet or exceed national IRC (International Residential Code) standards. However, due to varying local requirements regarding seismic, wind (hurricane), or snow loads, house plans do not come with a professional architect’s or engineer’s seal. Most municipalities require a review and stamp by a local licensed professional to obtain a building permit.

Are plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical drawings included?

We provide the architectural and schematic electrical framework, but HVAC and plumbing layouts are not included. Because local codes and climate-specific systems vary significantly across the country, these are best finalized by your local subcontractors to ensure your home’s systems are optimized for your specific site and energy requirements.

Why should I choose Archival Designs and are the plans guaranteed?

With over 40 years of experience, Archival Designs provides high-quality, builder-ready designs that balance aesthetic elegance with structural integrity. We offer a Best Price Guarantee, a 10% discount for military and first responders, as well as builder discounts for life. And loyalty perks for pro builders. All plans are designed to comply with the IRC codes at the time of their creation. Learn more about our Best Price Guarantee.
