What is a split-level home? A raised ranch? A multi-level?
The split-level home is a popular home style in Massachusetts. The split offers lots of usable living space, often at a more affordable price than capes and colonial homes. You can encounter conflicting explanations of exactly what a split is as opposed to the less-common raised-ranch. When you add multi-level homes into the mix, you can end up with lots of confusion. So here’s a brief description of each home style; all these styles are shown for sale lower on this page.
Split-level home
Split-level homes have two living levels: a main floor and a partially below ground basement. The front door leads to an entrance way between the two levels, with stairs leading up and down (hence “split-level”). The main living areas and bedrooms tend to be located on the main floor, while the garage and perhaps a family room are typically in the basement.
Raised-ranch
Raised-ranches are variants of split-level homes. Here the basement is at ground level. One enters at that ground level and walks up stairs to the main living level.
Multi-level home
Multi-level homes are similar to split-level homes, but with additional finished living space, often extended out over an attached garage. Access to that extra space is from the main living level up a half-flight of stairs. Thus these homes have three living levels comprising two and one-half stories.
