[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Wow thanks for the awesome replies.  Gives me a lot to think about.  I guess I tend to know deep down the more space is probably necessary but then I do really worry I will feel like the last poster.  I have only lived in/chosen homes so far in life that have had lots of character and been really visually pleasing to me....somehow I get a lot from that.  In the past, historic row home in an old renovated school house with huge original windows and now renting a little tiny bungalow that has so much charm.  Looking out a big pretty window to trees really makes my day.  So I know that I can live in a small space and be fine, but that's me without twins!

In the scenario I described, I am looking in the same area so the schools and neighborhood and commute are the same or totally comparable.  Will definitely make sure I have a yard with a fence or that can be fenced, since I also have a small dog.

My other option I am toying around with is to give up on Bethesda and find something bigger AND with charm AND for $100k+ less in Catonsville.  I think the schools, the neighborhood (though obviously it is a very different feel than DC suburbs like Bethesda), and the commute there are fine or more than fine.  (I work in between the two areas off of 95.)  But obviously the areas are very different.  And down the road, job opportunities would be far more limited up there.[/quote]
