The Overlook Duplex – 3-Story, 2-Bedroom Modern Duplex House Plan - New!
The Overlook Duplex Plan | 4 Bedroom • 2 Bath
The Overlook Duplex is a three-story, two-unit house plan designed for narrow lots, urban infill, middle housing, and small-scale rental development. Measuring approximately 35'-6" wide by 40'-0" deep, the plan combines two efficiently arranged residences within a compact footprint while giving each unit a private entrance and attached garage.
Each residence includes 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a private office, mudroom, laundry, and an attached garage. The ground floor provides a flexible office or work-from-home space near the entry, with direct access to the garage and mudroom. The main living level features an open-concept kitchen, dining room, and living room along with a convenient powder bath. The upper floor contains two bedrooms, two bathrooms, laundry, linen storage, and generous closets.
The exterior uses a clean modern farmhouse / contemporary gabled design with vertical siding, simple roof forms, large windows, and individual covered entries. The symmetrical architecture gives the duplex the appearance of two distinct homes while maintaining an efficient shared-wall configuration.
The Overlook is particularly well suited for narrow urban lots, duplex developments, middle-housing projects, rental properties, multigenerational living, and owner-occupied investments where one unit can be occupied and the second rented.

All Infill Plans products are digital downloads. Because our plan sets, CAD files, and related documents contain intellectual property that cannot be physically returned once delivered, all sales are final.
Once a digital file has been purchased, accessed, downloaded, or delivered, we are unable to offer returns, exchanges, or refunds. By completing your purchase, you acknowledge that you are receiving digital intellectual property and that the product cannot be “returned” in the same way as a physical item.
We encourage all customers to carefully review the plan description, square footage, included drawings, licensing terms, and product options before purchasing. If you have questions about whether a plan is appropriate for your project, property, or jurisdiction, please contact us before placing your order.
If there is a technical issue with your download, such as a missing file, corrupted file, or incorrect file delivery, we will make reasonable efforts to correct the issue and provide the proper digital files.
Purchase of a plan does not guarantee permit approval. All plans must be reviewed by the local authority having jurisdiction and may require site-specific modifications, engineering, energy code compliance documentation, or review by a licensed professional in the project jurisdiction.
