Curious about what a one-and-a-half story house is? This unique architectural style combines the charm of a traditional two-story home plan with the convenience of a single-story design. You get the benefits of an upstairs space, often used for secondary bedrooms or a loft (or even a bonus room) without the full footprint of a typical second floor. These house plans all have one-and-a-half stories and use the space efficiently.
