[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are obsessed with more space but the time that the extra space matters is only about 10 years. Kids leave, parents want to downsize again. I’d rather have a family lake house that I could use with my kids now, my grandkids in the future, can stay in the family, etc. [/quote] +1 We had a rowhouse and a beach cottage and that was perfect. Then we moved from the rowhouse to a large 6 bathroom SFH for the schools. The SFH was way too big for our family of 5. When we left the area, I had a maximum square footage that we wouldn't exceed. I absolutely loathed having a giant house. DH would have to rotate bathrooms to shower in just so they occasionally got used and we accumulated way too much stuff just because we had the space for it. We purged and I'm so much happier in my right-sized house. One family only needs so many bathrooms and places to sit. [/quote]
