Additions to Split Level Homes
By Dan Fritschen
Split Level Homes were designed and built to provide privacy, some separation of daily living activities, noise control, and spaciousness. To be sure, many split level homes have relatively small rooms, but this is not the case in all split level homes. The various types of split level home designs enabled builders to accommodate hills and slopes as they developed neighborhoods. Split Levels also accommodated the desire of homeowners to have a formal living area, a “recreation room” or informal living area, and to provide privacy and seclusion in the bedrooms.
