[quote=Anonymous]I bought a split level this spring in a great neighborhood.  I hated the outside.  Split levels (and especially this one) can be really ugly outside, especially if you are used to a colonial (or neocolonial, if we're being precise), which we were moving from.  But, once I got inside, I absolutely fell in love with the space.  It's perfect for our family of 5.

We fixed some of the landscaping to help with the exterior appeal, and some additional painting will help even more.  Inside, it's actually split into 6 levels.  There's a walk-up attic for storage, a large rec room, a level with three bedrooms and two bathrooms for our kids, a main level with a living room, dining room, kitchen, and our master suite, a level with a guest suite and family room, and a lower level with office, storage, and laundry.  There's just so much sneaky space in a house that looks like nothing from the street.

We can entertain adults on the main level while kids play in the family room.  We can still hear them and see them, but they aren't underfoot.  We can watch TV in the family room without disturbing sleeping kids upstairs.  When the kids are teenagers, they can do their thing upstairs and not bother my husband and me.

If you can get past the exterior, you might find that you love the interior of a split.  I genuinely love this house and never thought I could love a split.[/quote]
