Yes - 2 ways:
1. If ground floor = 1st floor.
2. If your house is built on a hill.
For example: the kitchen may be higher on the hill and the bedroom may be on the same level, but come out over the lower part of the hill, over top of a family room.
In that part of the house the family room would be on the ground floor, and the bedroom considered the 1st floor.

If you have a ranch style house the ground floor and 1st floor are one and the same. Your just walking down the hall. The only other solution is if your house slopes so the 1st floor is actually up a slight incline not requiring stairs and you kitchen is at the bottom of that incline.

Well in USA the first floor and the ground floor are one and the same. However, in UK and Ireland the ground floor is where it says i.e. at ground level, and the first floor is one floor above the ground. So if you are in America then your kichen and bedroom can be on the ground floor and first floor respectively and you won't need a stairs. But elsewhere, you'd need a stairs.

Yes, there is a semantic difference between floor levels in Great Britain and the US. When you walk into a house, it's said that you are on the first floor, go up the stair, and you're on the second floor, etc. In Great Britain, if you walk in a house. You're on the ground floor, then go up the stairs to the first flooor.
Incidently, there is also difference in what the British call "one million" and the American million, so be careful!:)

Live on the side of a hill.
I actually went to a school like this.
I could go in on the ground floor (by the main hall). Go up two floors to the Englissh department and then leave on the ground floor. Confused me months when I first got there.

The 1st floor and the ground floor are the same floor? Therefore you don't need stairs?

Since when is the 1st floor not the ground floor? I thought they were one and the same.

If this was supposed to imply both rooms were on the same level, you weren't clear enough. First floor doesn't mean ground floor.
They are two different levels. You could use the following:
1. elevator
2. escalator
3. ramp.

The 1st floor and the ground floor are the same thing unless you are in England.

Well, there's a sink in the kitchen.
Anywho, the 1st floor = ground floor.
