[quote=Anonymous]I'm not a big fan of split levels. But my father's aunt and uncle did have a large 1950s split (in the DC suburbs, go figure, and haven't you noticed it's always your aunt/uncle who lived in a split level?). I can see the advantages, it's a very efficient use of the space.

In the Baltimore suburbs there was a neighborhood that consisted primarily of split levels but of a type I've never seen elsewhere. From the front exterior it looked like a proper two story house with the front door at ground level. When you stepped inside you were in a fairly roomy foyer with a den on one side and a garage on the other (most people eventually converted it into another family room). At the back of the foyer was a short flight of steps (4 steps I think) leading to a large living/dining room across the back of the house, with the kitchen off to the side. The living area had cathedral ceilings. A staircase went up to the bedrooms which were across the front of the house.

It was technically a split level as the house had three different levels plus the basement that was only under the back part of the house. The houses were pleasantly contemporary and I wouldn't mind living in one.
