European Flavor in the Contemporary Mooresville Duplex

Arched garage door openings, brick veneer, and multipaned windows lend a European-style look to the Mooresville contemporary duplex design. Each two-bedroom unit has nearly 1,100 sq. feet of living space.

Entering the home, you step into a vaulted living room that is open to a dining room at the rear. The rectangular window bay brightens and expands the space toward the street and could be outfitted as a window seat. 

Light flows into the rear of the living/dining room through sliding glass doors. This offers access to a patio that could be covered and screened, if desired. Either way, the occupants have a good-sized area for barbecuing and sharing outdoor meals, within a few steps of the kitchen.

Counters and cabinetry run along two walls of the kitchen, and people working at the sink have a view of the rear yard. Children playing there can be watched from inside. Full-size laundry appliances fit into an alcove on the opposite side of the room. Shelves or cabinets fill the wall space above.

A powder room is behind a pocket door on one side of the laundry alcove, while a door leading to the garage is on the other.

Each of this duplexes units has two bedrooms, a linen closet, and a full bathroom upstairs. From the loft/landing at the top of the stairs, you can overlook the living room. A full-sized bathroom provides sound buffering between the bedrooms.
