Mine is about 1500 sq ft

[DizzyDesii]

1900 sq ft.. When i build a home, I would like for it to be between 2100-2700 sq ft. I want a long narrow single story home. I know that more square footage means a greater price so i have to try to keep it on the lower 2100 end to be realistic and stay in the 300k. For example, this house below is unattractive to me. But i love how long/wide it is. I know its not smart to build out and that you're supposed to build up to keep costs low, but i really don’t want a two story and would much rather a long home that I can run around in

[DizzyDesii]

Where i currently live is a long ranch built about 15 years ago and its got the open floorplan but i dont like that fully because it lacks a nice long hallway. I want a hall to hang wall-art. I also dont like the placement of the fireplace nor how the kitchen is galley style and the master bath is small. We also have the long porch with rocking chairs but we’re not all that outdoorsy so its useless and just for show. The house i build would fix a lot of the stuff i dont currently like and it wouldn't have a front porch, but a nice small entryway

No running in the house missy

[DizzyDesii]

@Sparkie460 lol I’m going to have a very spacious interior thats definitely going to allow running around haha

[EmmaMary]

Having just asked my husband who's an architect and therefore designed our six bedroom, six bathroom home, he assures me that it comes in at being 6240 sq. ft.

This does not include the garages or outbuildings.

The whole property stands in its own grounds of ten acres (4.047 hectares).

[Charliefretz329]

That’s a palace! Lol

[EmmaMary]

@charliefretz329

It's certainly big and extremely spacious, and certainly ideal when having our families coming to stay... Christmas and Birthdays etc.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

Not very big: 150m^2 although that is slightly larger than usual Japanese home, but Japanese homes are teeny. I make decent amount along with my wife but we don't even have garage, a proper backyard, dishwater, dryer, and not very good heating or air conditioning. I sometimes dream of moving to US since I met people there who barely made any money and they still had a home so much bigger than ours with huge living room, sofa, dishwater, dryer, massive oven, a proper backyard, etc.

[Charliefretz329]

That is true! I’ve been to Japan and the spaces are quite different

[ZXCwWRQWz]

It is pretty cramped! We have three bedrooms but also two have tatami floors. I am not big fan of tatami. Spill something and it's very hard to wash out. Japanese real estate costs a fortune. I was originally in Tokyo but it was too expensive to buy a home there. Even the tiniest run-down home like 95m^2 with everything so cramped cost over $500,000 USD. So I moved to Kyushu which is cheaper but far from cheap.

[Charliefretz329]

That’s so true. I don’t envy that at all. I need some space

[andreasderjuengere]

Hard to say...

My couch is shared with the dogs and the grandson.

The bed room is shared with the Missus.

Bathroom and kitchen are shared with my step kids.

Net space left: some 10 square feet for myself? :D

Gross space is about 45 square meters plus a (little) garden.

Altogether: very ''compact'' - but with plenty of nature around to enjoy...

[Charliefretz329]

Sounds like it’s full of life and love though!

[andreasderjuengere]

You are right. We have a good harmony here :)

[Charliefretz329]

Sounds like heaven

[andreasderjuengere]

It's indeed a lot better than with some other people 'with problems'.
After your comment... I am reminded of ''Little House on the Prairie''...
And: once again ''size doesn't matter''.

[Apple1996]

My house is tiny like 1100sqft? I think. It was the only place available when we moved here due to it being overpopulated. 🙄 Hoping to get a bigger place when we move here soon

[Molly1997]

Im actually not sure 😅 it’s a 2 level farm house with 3 bedrooms, a basement and a garage with 10 acres of land.

[Charliefretz329]

Sounds gorgeous

[matchrestore]

1380 4 bed 2.5 bath plus unfinished basement. It was 5 bed 1.5 bath when we bought it but we added an ensuite bathroom with laundry to the primary bedroom. Its small for that many rooms but it uses space rather well so it feels bigger.

[Kori1236]

Not sure actually we rent a basement suite in a duplex, 3 bedroom, one bath. 2 people, 2 large dogs

[Charliefretz329]

Sounds cozy ! 🙂

[MemeSupreme]

i don't remember the exact number, but i think it's the 1000 - 1500 range maybe? i live with my grandma and it's been a while since i heard it lol

just know it's not a big house

[Dargil]

1700 sf with a 500 sf enclosed. connected garage.

[Charliefretz329]

That’s a good size

[Dargil]

Old school 60's brick ranch.

[Charliefretz329]

Brick is forever! That’s awesome

[Dargil]

Just trim to paint and termites aren't interested.

[Charliefretz329]

No kidding! Perfect

[Dargil]

Could have sprung double for some architectural wonder, but by the next week, it's just a bigger house that needs more paint and has a bigger payment.

[Charliefretz329]

No kidding right!

[BoopBoopBeep]

3400, but there's just two of us, so it's not too crowded. Trying to expand but neighbors won't sell me their house yet.

[LiamJHayden]

More than double that. I inherited it and because of California property tax law, selling it and moving into a smaller places would likely end up costing me money on net in under a decade, so I might as well just stay.

[nolabels]

2800 sq. ft. on a 1/4-acre postage stamp lot.

[Sparkie460]

My house is 1500 square feet. Average ranch house. 3 bedrooms, 1 bath , 1 car garage

[katiesmuff]

3600 sq ft according to my husband

[Charliefretz329]

That’s a spacious home! 🙂

[Anonymous]

The one I live in but rent a room is pretty big, but I don’t own it and it’s a High ranch, I think it’s 2400 inside square foot

[msc545]

About 8000 sq feet

[exitseven]

Wow, in California that must be a mansion.

[Charliefretz329]

Huge!

[msc545]

@exitseven it isn't all that big.

[Awantika03]

In 1000 sq yards

[Charliefretz329]

That’s a huge house

[Awantika03]

Yes sir

[Charliefretz329]

That’s like a mansion! You don’t mean sq ft!

[Awantika03]

It's yards not ft

[Charliefretz329]

Wow 😮

[RobT312]

2000 sq ft. It’s comfortable

[exitseven]

3100 Sq Ft. with a two car garage

[BarryLiverstone]

65,758 mi

[Charliefretz329]

You live outside?

[BarryLiverstone]

My home state is Florida

[Charliefretz329]

Ok I meant the living space of your abode

[Jerre]

About 2750 sq feet living

[Jerre]

@charliefretz329 Thank you for the Like

[LavLavLuv]

Big enough to live in

[Charliefretz329]

Perfect 🤩
