Duplex plans should give homeowners the same kind of convenience and versatility in their layouts as single-family homes. Here’s a new duplex plan that does just that. See more stats and details at Houseplans.com.

Start with the front-facing garages. Each unit gets one, along with a private porch sporting a metal roof accent to add more modern farmhouse flair. Stone on the left side of the center juxtaposes with the board-and-batten siding and helps differentiate the units.

The main level presents a number of practical amenities, beginning with the drop zone on the way in from the garage. Stop to remove your shoes here, then continue into the kitchen to put groceries away in the walk-in pantry. A pocket office (or optional storage) provides a place to take virtual meetings.

Upstairs, each side includes three bedrooms and a loft. The laundry closet sits up here too, making it easy to get chores done. The main bedroom treats owners to a large closet.
