Whats the difference between a 2-history home and a 2-level home? Are they the same??

That’s going to be a local question. What area/state are you in?

The reason I ask is I’ve seen 2 level homes that just have a few steps up to another level. Since you couldn’t do it with awheelchair it’s a 2 level home but it doesn’t have living space below it so it’s not a two story. On the other hand most ranch style houses in MN are called single story even if they have a basement. they are also sometimes called a split level home. 

It’s like the Midwest fourplex being called a 4flat in other areas.
