This type of home design is often used to take advantage of views that you may not have with a one-story home, allowing the living areas to be on an upper level.  Split-level home plans can create more living space on a sloped or narrow lot.

Split-level house plans can also incorporate multiple decks and balconies on the different floors. Outdoor living can be enhanced, for example, by a patio off of the living room on the main level and a deck from the kitchen on the second floor.
