Are you sure that the Keaton house was a split level? Most of the episodes only used the kitchen and living room sets anyway so I suppose it is hard to say.

The Brady house is also a split level, although it is not a typical split in that the top story is accessed from a staircase from the bottom story. I guess Mr. Brady, being an architect, desided to design something interesting.

"Famous" split-level homes

This is an odd section. It lists, or has listed, split-level homes depicted in film or television. The homes themselves are not famous. You could probably list a great many movies that had split-level homes, it would be like listing Harold and Maude in Tudor Style. It would be interesting to find a famous example of such a pedestrian home, or an example of a home famous for being split-level. I can't find any. Either way this is not a list of famous homes.

yeah I am not sure if this was a matter of blatant immature useless vandalism or if there was a reason but I have gone in and got rid of alot of the garbage on this page. If there are still disputed parts to this please feel free to replace the cite needed on ones that are valid.

Split out bi-level to separate article?

Why include bi-level here? It doesn't match the intro definition, and they seem so different. Here is a good reference to post-wwII architecture including split-levels, bi-levels etc: [Final Historic Context and Survey of Post-World War II Residential Architecture in Boulder, Colorado] ★NealMcB★ (talk) 16:26, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the North West United States (specifically the Seattle area), a split level commonly refers to a bi-level split entry house, while the house defined in the intro would be called a tri-level house. Instead of splitting the bi-level out, I propose rewording the intro to be more inclusive. (Also, the link you linked to is dead, a static link to the same is at [Final Historic Context and Survey of Post-World War II Residential Architecture in Boulder, Colorado]).

Wait, what?

This article is really confusing and I still don't really understand what a split level home is. I thought "split level home" meant the levels (floors) in the house were split...but then the article talks about floors between levels, and then there's a picture that says from the front you can only see the first floor and the the "split level" (so a "split level" is a thing, not just a descriptor?) is only visible from the side. Then it says the front view only shows one story, "and the two stories are in the back." Ok, see, I was under the impression that the "looks like a one-story from the front, but if you look from the back, you'll see that it's actually a two story (because that first story splits in the back)." But the "split level" is only visible from the side? WHAT IS a split level?!?!? Is it like, another floor? How many freaking floors does this house have? 2? 3? 4? And if a "split level" is a thing, and not just a way to describe the layout of this type of house, then please define it. What makes a floor a floor and a "split level" a "split level"? 2602:304:AB1E:E929:C1A3:4D1D:4D71:CCDE (talk) 15:20, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

difference between standard split level home, side split, & back split and difference between split foyer and split entry

I am confused about how a standard split level home differs from a side split and a back split and how a split foyer differs from a split entry. I read the article in the link below (w/ its website) and I am still confused. https://homedecorbliss.com/types-of-split-level-homes/ Evope (talk) 01:41, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
