Which statement is NOT correct about split-level homes?

1. A back-split do not have a front to back layout.

2. Side-split homes have a left to right or right to left layout.

3. Split-level homes typically have three or more levels.

4. The style has proven very attractive to buyers as there are minimal stairs.

The correct answer is: A back-split do not have a front to back layout.

A back-split home is characterized by its unique layout, which usually has a staggered design that allows for different levels of living space. It typically features a layout that extends back from the main entrance, often incorporating a lower level that is partially below grade, which creates a distinct separation of spaces within the home. The statement claiming that back-splits do not have a front-to-back layout mischaracterizes how these homes are arranged. The other options accurately reflect characteristics of split-level homes: side-split homes do indeed have a layout that extends from left to right, making efficient use of space across its levels; split-level homes generally do feature three or more levels, which is a hallmark of their design; and they are often sought after by buyers due to the reduced number of stairs compared to traditional two-story homes, making them more accessible and functional for families and individuals.
