Adaptability is the key to this side-by-side duplex, which has an unfinished basement that provides the opportunity to turn the duplex into a fourplex, if desired . Inside the brick covered entrance, a coat cupboard right next to the front door provides useful space for outer wear. The single-car garage has direct access to the house through the foyer and to the laundry and storage area on this level.

Upstairs, the open plan dining and living room have access to the front balcony through a sliding glass door. A skylight provides this room with plenty of natural light. The galley-style kitchen and breakfast nook also have a skylight and access to a sundeck at the rear.

Both front and rear sun decks are screened from their neighbours for privacy. The master suite is located at the rear of the house and has a three-piece en suite bathroom and a wall closet. Bedrooms two and three share a three-piece bathroom.

A broom cupboard at the top of the stairs provides useful storage space. Simple roof lines make for straightforward construction and horizontal siding offers a low-maintenance finish. The duplex is 48 feet wide and 49 feet, 6 inches deep with 1,077 square feet of living space in each unit, as well as an unfinished basement.
