The Artondale is a beautifully balanced, two‑story Craftsman duplex designed to deliver style, efficiency, and privacy in equal measure. With a total of 2,998 square feet of living space (approximately 1,499 sq ft per side), this plan offers a compelling residential solution, ideal for investors, multi‑family living, or extended families who value both independence and community.
Each unit features a two-car garage, and cleverly, the only shared wall between the two homes is the one that divides the garages maximizing sound separation and fostering a sense of autonomy. Through the front door, residents enter a welcoming foyer with a coat closet, which seamlessly flows into an open living and dining area. The main floor also includes an efficient utility room, conveniently placed to support daily needs without interrupting the living spaces.
Upstairs, the Artondale plan organizes all sleeping quarters to promote rest and privacy. Two secondary bedrooms share a well-appointed full bathroom, while the owner’s suite provides a serene retreat complete with vaulted ceilings, a private full bathroom, and a generous walk-in closet. The second-floor design optimizes volume and natural light, thanks to the thoughtfully arranged ceiling heights and window placements.
From an architectural standpoint, the duplex embraces classic Craftsman detailing: gabled roofs, tapered columns, and a balanced facade of siding and stone or shingles. The covered front porch encourages outdoor welcoming moments, while the rear patio connects to the yard, allowing each unit to enjoy its own private outdoor space.
Beyond aesthetics, the Artondale is also practical. Its mirrored layout simplifies construction and maintenance, and the strong separation between units makes it suitable for a variety of occupants from rental tenants to multigenerational households. Overall, the Artondale is a thoughtful, elegant design that delivers both character and smart livability.
