[quote=Anonymous]We bought a split level right before the Amazon HQ2 announcement in Rosemont Alexandria. It is definitely the odd ball in the neighborhood aesthetically being surrounded by older Colonials and Craftsman homes. But we absolutely fell in love with the functionality of this house. We have multiple living areas, all above grade, and with smaller children it's easier to keep tabs on what they're up to. No bathroom on main level, but it's only 7 steps away. We haven't had issues with widely varying temperatures. We do adjust the vents to force more cold/warm air where we want it to go, but otherwise no more than a few degrees difference. Biggest pro in this neighborhood is the large lot size typically associated with splits. Our kids can run and play soccer in our yard, whereas most other lots here have postage stamp sized yards. Biggest con is that the original main level is choppy. We have plans to remove walls, add a big island kitchen, and vault the ceilings into the attic.[/quote]
