We live in a split-level. Front door opens to foyer, off of which is the kitchen, dining room, living room, and two half-flights of stairs. Stairs going up go to bedrooms; stairs going down go to family room, office, half-bath, laundry area, and stairs to basement. The basement runs the full length/width of the level with the front door. I love this house.
Split-foyers are also very common in our area. That’s where you walk into the foyer and have to immediately go up (kitchen, combined dining/living room, and some bedrooms) or down (basement rec room, bedroom or two, bathroom). I cannot stand this layout, personally. |

Isn’t that a split foyer? The house divides at the foyer. With a split level, you walk into the main loving area and then have half stairs up and down. With this house you have to take stairs up to get to the main level. |

Split-foyer, I live in a similar one, except we added an addition so my kitchen is open to a large family room off of the back of the upper level. Somewhat depressing to see how much it costs to live in a split foyer.

No, this is a split foyer. |

| You can tell a split foyer because the front door will be sandwiched between the upper and lower windows, and not level with either set. |
