Similar to a side-split, the back-split-style home is divided into multiple levels, but it looks different from the outside. Unlike a side-split house, the split levels of a back-split house can be viewed only from the side, and only one story is visible from the front, while two stories are visible from the back.
What is the purpose of a split level house?
The split-level blueprint allows for more separation between downstairs and upstairs than other home designs and is great for those who want to have an office, gym, or hobby space downstairs. The money-savvy might even rent out a downstairs bedroom to a roommate.
Does a split-level home have a basement?
Yes, split-level homes do have basements and garages. Upon entering a split-level home, you’ll usually see one staircase leading up to bedroom levels, and another staircase leading down to the basement level. The basement floor is level with the driveway, and often features a laundry room or living area.
