This is a no brainer.

The two girls share and the teen boy gets his own room.

Don't overthink this OP. Just use time.tested common sense.

Those are enormous bedrooms.

The girls are together. Since there's two of them, they get to choose which room.

Yes,The landlord did extensive remodeling and extending for the rooms.Space is not an issue but privacy seems more problematic since DD1 dislikes sleeping in the same room as another person.

She'll have to get over it. You could use a screen, curtain or other room divider to give each a sense of privacy but it will tend to make the room feel smaller.

This is literally the stupidest post of the day here on this site! You really need help with this?

How is this a question? I'd probably give DD's the master, take the next larger room for me and son gets the smallest room. Put up curtains or some kind of wall divider for the girls. Done.. Why didn't you pick a different house if it was going to be an issue?

Yeah I dislike going to work every day but it’s a part of life. You can’t be serious, OP.

When my DS college orientation, the president of the university asked the parents how many of our children had their own room. Most parents raised their hands. THIS is why students have such a difficult time adjusting to college roommates. Your older DD will be fine. It's a rite of passage to dislike your younger sibling.

She is going to have to get over that. Seriously. No better time than now.

Im sure when all those hands went up the counselors all shuddered. The inherent entitlement of that incoming crowd. Ugh.

Where did you go to school that you didn't learn to put a space (or two) after a punctuation mark? I think you have bigger problems than the space issue at your house.

Ask DDs if they want privacy pop tents. They’ve been put to good use in my house.

OP, look at the layout of the two rooms and choose the one that can be most easily divided in two for the girls. Put a room divider of some kind (I like the big IKEA kallax shelves since it gives added storage) between them, and if needed get a wardrobe to provide additional separate closet space.
