European Duplex Plan with 1500 Sq Ft & 4 Bedrooms Per Unit

Plan 61961R is a 3-bedroom duplex house plan set over three stories, with 1541 ft² of living space shaped in a European and Traditional style and topped by a hip roof with a 4/12 (18°) pitch. Wood and stucco share the exterior walls, a pairing that gives the facade both warmth and a crisp, finished look. The house measures 33'8" wide and 32'6" deep, with a height of 24'9", and its compact footprint stacks the rooms vertically instead of spreading them out. Inside are three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bathroom.

You come in through a defined entry that keeps coats and shoes away from the main rooms, then step into an open floor plan where a large family room and a large kitchen work as one space. The kitchen is built for everyday family life: a breakfast bar for quick meals and homework, a breakfast nook brightened by a corner window, and a walk-in pantry that keeps groceries and small appliances out of sight. Large windows and floor-to-ceiling windows bring daylight deep into the living area, so the rooms feel open even on a short winter afternoon. A home office gives a quiet place to work or study apart from the busy kitchen.

The master suite is on the second floor, and the bedrooms are clustered together, so parents stay close to the children at night. Laundry on the second floor puts the washer and dryer right where the clothes are, which saves trips up and down the stairs. The two full bathrooms serve the bedrooms, while the half bathroom is convenient for guests. A utility room and dedicated storage space keep the mechanical equipment, seasonal items and household supplies organized.

The home stands on strip footings and has no basement; it is also available with a slab foundation on request. The main wall structure is aerated concrete, and the plan is also available with ceramic block or wood framing. A front-entry, one-car garage is built into the house, with living space above it, which makes good use of the footprint. A covered front porch welcomes visitors and offers shelter in any weather, and a deck extends the living area outdoors for summer dinners and morning coffee.
