The Rothbury is a thoughtfully designed Craftsman-style duplex that offers the charm and character of a single-family cottage. Each of the two units is a mirror image of the other, and while they share a common wall at the garage, they maintain the privacy and comfort of a standalone home. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms per unit, this duplex is an ideal choice for families, professionals, or retirees looking for a stylish yet practical living space.
The exterior showcases classic Craftsman elements, including two prominent gables that add depth and visual appeal. The lower gable highlights the welcoming covered front porch, supported by elegant wooden columns resting on sturdy lap-sided bases. This inviting space is perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee or even hanging a porch swing for breezy afternoon enjoyment. The upper gable, with its steeper slope, mirrors the lower one while drawing attention to the multipaned second-floor windows, enhancing the home’s character.
Inside, the main living spaces are located on the ground floor, creating a natural flow from the living room to the dining area and into the kitchen. A raised eating bar subtly separates the kitchen while keeping the space open and connected. The galley-style kitchen is designed for efficiency, with a well-placed sink beneath a window, a nearby dishwasher, and a conveniently located range and oven opposite the refrigerator and pantry. The laundry appliances share space with a powder room, ensuring convenience without sacrificing function. At the rear, a covered patio provides a private outdoor retreat, ideal for dining al fresco or simply unwinding.
On the second floor, the Rothbury’s bedrooms feel bright and airy, thanks to wide rectangular window bays that bring in natural light and add to the sense of spaciousness. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and efficiency, this duplex home plan seamlessly blends Craftsman aesthetics with modern practicality, making it a perfect choice for a variety of homeowners.
