A common structure for a Split Level Home:
- The floor in one part of the house is about halfway between a floor and its ceiling of the other part of the house,
- 1st story contains a family room,living room,dining room,and kichen;
- 2 small sets of stairs attaching the 1st story and the 2nd story,
- A basement that includes a garage that is in level with the driveway,
- 2 or more stories
A split level home can create special accessibility challenges for anyone in a wheelchair or with other handicaps that make going up and down stairs difficult or dangerous. The multiple staircases present a tricky situation for households with crawling babies or toddlers.
