I've lived in two story homes most of my life. They make a lot of sense
for people under the age of about 60. Our house is a "raised ranch"
with family room, utilities, and spare room on the lower level. With
arthritis in my knees and my wife's heart condition, we are happy to
stay on the one level most of the time.
