[quote=Anonymous]We moved from a 1900 sq ft rowhouse to a 4500 sq ft new construction house in 2018. The best thing hands down is having a garage and parking our cars in it after 20 yrs of no off-street parking in DC. Next is having plenty of storage - large closets in each bedroom, linen closets in or just outside bathrooms, upstairs laundry and a large laundry room. We also have a large furnished basement with high ceilings and an office that doubles as a guest room. I really appreciate our teens having a space for gaming and playing with their friends that keeps all the clutter out of the main floor of our house. The areas we don't really use are the upstairs den outside the kids' bedrooms...we end up just piling laundry there until we fold it. Plus the upstairs guest room rarely gets used because it requires sharing a bathroom with teen/tween boys. The best thing we did when moving in was setting aside some of the proceeds from our previous house to furnish the new house and hiring a designer to help. We got custom carpets for some oversized rooms and got appropriately sized furniture, lamps, lighting etc for the whole house. We both have decision paralysis so it really helped having someone present us with a few options and making a choice. Overall the cost was reasonable...basically Pottery Barn or Crate & Barrel level pricing with less expensive items in the upstairs den and basement. Having someone order it all and coordinate assembly and furniture placement, hang all the curtains/window treatments and art (some our own, some new to us antique, some new) and getting it all done within a month of moving in was amazing.[/quote]
