[quote=Anonymous]We are a family of 3 in 3300 square feet and planning a 2-bedroom addition. We do use all of the rooms currently; after our addition we will probably have 1 rarely used bedroom. I don't think our house is too small, but the addition will solve a layout issue. We could live happily in about 3k sq ft with a better layout. Prior to moving here we lived for 10 years in a 2100 sq ft townhouse, a third of which was basement. That was fine for the 2 of us, or 2 and an infant, but not for 2 adults and an active kid. We host family for a week or more at a time, we have hobbies that need space, we both work from home, etc. Growing up my family of 4 had a 2500 sq ft house that was a 2bd/2ba (so, few but large rooms; no basement) and it felt spacious. In a mild dry climate, we were outside most of the time, including for many meals, and we didn't need seasonal wardrobes or a coat closet. The same house wouldn't work in this area.[/quote]
