First home perhaps, not split-level? (4)
I believe the answer is:
flat
'level?' is the definition.
('flat' can be a synonym of 'level')
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flat that I've seen before include "Not hilly" , "Apartment - on the level" , "not deep?" , "Like a pancake?" , "Not sloping; apartment" .)
