Buyers tend to look at multi-level house style as a throwback to their parents’ or aunt and uncle’s house in the suburbs. Yes, they might be that, but they’re actually much more and should be considered by buyers in all age ranges. The multi-level house style is a wonderful, deliberate house style that modern architects created to group similar living activities, such as sleeping or entertaining, separating the quiet activities from the more boisterous ones.
There are generally three or more levels (sort of like a split with more levels) and looking at the front of a multi, it looks to be split down the middle with a one-and-a-half story home on one half stuck on to a two story home on the other. Here is an example of a multi-level house floor plan:
The lowest parts of these homes are devoted to a garage and family room; the middle levels, which usually are part of the one-and-a-half story section, support quieter activities, such as those that take place in the kitchen, living and dining rooms; and the topmost areas, usually above the garage, support the quietest activities, such as those that take place in bedrooms, offices or studies.
In Metrowest, multi level homes are usually found in the mid-range pricing of their particular towns and generally sell very well.
Many have updated kitchens and baths and they are usually sited on mid-sized to larger parcels of land in mature, established neighborhoods.
They make good mover-upper houses for expanding families and buyers who love to entertain.
