We're built into a hill, so to get in the front door there's a very small step outside but the back has a full deck with a set of stairs going down. These go into the middle floor, we also have a basement and a second floor (but about halfway up the wall in the second floor it starts to slope with the roof). Then at the very peak of the house we have an attic that's only a few feet tall, but that requires a ladder to access.
