Description
This Craftsman-style Tiny Home Duplex is designed to maximize space on a narrow lot, offering an ideal investment opportunity for subdivided properties within city limits where densification is essential. The plan features two separate side entrances for added privacy, leading to two distinct living areas.
Unit A (First Floor):
The first floor offers 446 square feet of living space with a compact, studio-style design. It includes a bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, walk-in closet, and an open-concept living area that flows into a functional kitchen. This unit also features a dedicated mechanical storage area and access via stairs to the second level.
Unit B (Second Floor):
The second-floor unit boasts 723 square feet of living space, offering a more spacious layout with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It includes a kitchen, living room, and a private balcony at the back, making it perfect for modern living or rental income potential.
With its efficient use of space and smart design, this duplex is an excellent solution for urban infill projects or as an income-generating property.
