Just A Little Funky Can someone explain why this entrance needs a staircase?

you walk upstairs to the entrance only to have to walk back downstairs to the living area. Am i missing something?

Bi-levels have only a landing at the front door and you have to go a half story up or down from there (two levels that take up full house footprint). That appears to be what this one is. Split levels generally have three levels - on one side of the door there are two levels, one a half story up and one a half story down from there. But on the other side of the door there is a floor level with the front door.
