Front Door Split Level House

What if you are not interested in adding a portico or porch because it looks too traditional for you.

Front door split level house.

The layout was quirky even by split level standards as the house appears to be a ranch but is actually divided horizontally front to back. The front door opens directly into what is usually the formal living area which is typically partially below ground level. Then usually there is another set of short stairs to the bedroom level. You will go up a short set of stairs to another level.

This is not a split level. The front door opens directly into the living room. See more ideas about house exterior split level exterior remodel. If you have a split level house with a too flat entry that often makes people wonder where is the front door you may want to do a remodeling project to fix the problem.

Split levels are when you enter the front door to an actual living area. When you enter the front door you need to decide whether to go upstairs or downstairs. Below that may be a small crawl space. While the design of split level homes can vary some split in the front others split in the back a good number will feature a set of exterior stairs leading to the front door instead of a level.
