[quote=Anonymous]We have 1700 above ground SF bungalow (with an additional 800 square feet in-law suite and storage space in half-finished basement).  Two small bedrooms each on main and upstairs floors. One small full bath each on main and small full bath on upstairs floors. The house is full of built-ins/walk-in closets, and we're in a walk-able part of the city. Decent yard with storage shed. We don't have a master bed/bath and there is no where to put one (unless we loose a bedroom on the upstairs floor) and we have small, original stand sinks. The in-law suite has the largest and best basement in the house, but walking down the basement stairs to use it is weird. For us it is perfect, and clearly was enough for the many families who lived here in the last 100 years. The obsession with square footage is more a reflection on American materialism than anything. Buy less stuff. Teach children to share by making them share rooms (and bathrooms) until you feel comfortable not having them on the same floor as you. Make them do their homework at the dining room table, etc.[/quote]
