in many of the newer subdivisions. This style of home will usually have

Split entry homes are found in most subdivisions in Dartmouth. A split entry
is much like a bungalow with one distinct advantage. The basement in a bungalow
is 8 ft of concrete with smaller windows. In a split entry there is 4 ft.
of concrete and the remainder of the wall is wood, which allows for much
larger windows. A typical split entry will have a living room, dining room,
eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms and one full bathroom on the top floor. The
lower level will contain a larger family room, a fourth bedroom, laundry
room, half bath and often a basement garage. |
