As of April 10th 2015, we have finally broken ground on the new duplex. This will be my own personal residence, and also an income property as I can rent or sell the secondary duplex unit. It's a smart and efficient design that's perfect for urban infill type homes, where the incentive is often to maximize space, and resale value. A few of these compact narrow lot front-to-back duplexes already exist in Edmonton, but this particular design provides a fresh modern appearance, and is packed with plenty of features including 3 bedrooms in total, 3 bathrooms, a master suite with it's own full bathroom and walk-in closet, kitchen / dining with pantry, a generous 13' x 13' living room, a basement, and it provides this all within a svelte 1100 square-foot floor area. As an affordable investment property, it's hard to beat! I stand to profit greatly from the practical innovation of this design, and I can help you do the same. Anu Homes is the builder of this project (see their link for more info).

That's me breaking ground, or at least preforming the 'ceremonial version' of it. |
