Architectural Features of Split Level House Plans
- Subtle Exterior, composed of natural wood, brick or stucco
Innovative and intriguing, multi-floor Split Level house plans were hugely popular in the northeastern United States from the mid 1950s to the mid 1970s. Bedrooms are tucked away on the peaceful, private upper level, the central level makes room for a spacious kitchen, living and dining room, while the lower level which is usually partly underground gives kids a place to play as well as provides room for storage, laundry, garage and sometimes a walk-out patio. A perfect choice for sloping lots and individuals who don't want a lot of stairs to climb, iconic "Brady Bunch" Split Level home designs are making a comeback coast to coast.
Split Level House Plan Features
Subtle Exterior
Influenced by Prairie and Ranch homes as well as later modern styles, Split Level floor plans feature a two-story high section joined to a staggered single story section that creates three distinct interior areas separated by two half-flights of stairs. The exterior is often composed of natural wood, brick or stucco combined with large picture windows, but with few decorative elements, giving the home a modern feel.
