Our house is a two-story walkout. From the front, it looks like a one story house. From the back it looks like a two-story home. We build it that way to take advantage of the terrain of the property we bought.
The photos in this posting deal with the main level interior of the addition. With the twelve extra feet, we extended the hallway to the master bedroom; moved the hallway closet; created an entrance alcove to the master bedroom suite which includes a sitting room and bedroom; a dressing room with his/her closets and a master bath. The sitting room was our original bedroom and the old closet and bathroom were reconfigured.

Dressing room:
The dressing room can be accessed two ways — directly from the alcove, which also gives access to the sitting room, or from the bedroom.

The closets:
We now have two closets — his and hers.
Plenty of hanging space, shelving, drawers, and shoe shelves in Phil’s closet — even room for a hidden pants press!
