Willow offers a two for one deal

Ownership of a duplex can provide many benefits for those interested in acquiring an income property. Some may choose to reside in one unit, while renting the other. Another option is to rent both accommodations and manage the holding. Either way, it is a solid investment.

In any case, one of the more modern and innovative duplex plans to hit the market in quite a while is the Willow (404-47). This two-story design has a 1,170 square foot three bedroom configuration on side one. With unit two having 890 square feet, two second level bedrooms.

Both units have an attached garage that conveniently opens directly into the kitchen. This allows you, regardless of the weather, to unload groceries with a minimum of bother. There is space, in each garage to put a washer and dryer.

The master suite in unit one is a rarity in duplex design. Extending out from the right side of the building, with a view window to the front, the amenities here include a large sleeping area, walk-in closet and private entrance to the bathroom.

Both units have a spacious living room that flows unimpeded into the dining area. This creates a roominess that belies the square footage. The kitchen dimensions vary somewhat, but both allow easy serving and feature built-in appliances. Each dining room has a sliding glass door to the back patio. There is enough room here to relax in the sun with a barbecue and some lounge chairs.

The top level in both units holds two bedrooms, each with closet space. The front bedroom is somewhat larger. They share a corner bathroom fitted with linen storage.
