[quote=Anonymous]I have friends with a 7500 sf house, not quite a mansion, but huge.  They custom built it.  It has 6 bedrooms and 7 full, 3 half baths.

Basement is divided.  There is a walkout basement to the large backyard with pool and a basement workout room.  Large full bath there so you can shower after workout and the full bath is next to the walkout door so that you can come in from the back yard and go right into the bathroom.  Other side of the basement is an entertainment room set up as a home theater and has a half bath so you don't have to use the "gym" bathroom and also gives two bathrooms on that level if you have a movie night/entertainment night and people don't have to go up and down stairs to get to the bathroom.

First floor is large and there is a half bath by the front and one back by the kitchen and door to the garage.  When you are entertaining and have a large gathering, people don't have to wait for the bathroom and don't have to wend their way around people to get across the house to the bathroom.  I've been there for large holiday gatherings and two bathrooms is nice.  In the odd case that you need more, they can send people downstairs instead of upstairs, plus the full bath downstairs is a great place for parents who need more room for changing diapers for example (I have twins so the big bathroom downstairs was wonderful when I had to change diapers).  So, four bathrooms in the public areas for large social events with no one having to go upstairs to the private bathrooms.

Six bedrooms upstairs with full en suite for each (although the smallest room's bathroom was jack & jill shared with the hallway.

So, 6 BR, 10 Ba  (7 full, 3 half)[/quote]
