OK. We call these split-levels in the midwest (regardless of what
rooms are on what floors, but I think yours is the most common).
In NYC we don't discuss such things.
In Baltimore, they have them but I can't remember anyone ever calling
them anything. I havent' read a real estate listing for a quarter
century. I know someone who lives in one. Someday I'll ask her what
she calls it.
