[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went from almost 6K to 2500 and wondered what the hell we did with all of that useless, wasteful space. So liberating. I will never again own a home over 2500sq.ft., the smaller the better. Then again, we plan to move to CA where a lot of your living is outside so we won't need all that space anyhow. [/quote] The point about outdoor living space is a good one. I'm from CA and grew up in a house I would never buy here in the DC area (2 BR, 2BA, no basement) but considered it very large compared to my friends' homes. We had few, but large, rooms, and we spent a lot of time outside. My parents even store furniture outside, because it never rains. My family (3 plus dog) currently lives in a 2300 sq ft townhouse and we feel slightly cramped. The rooms are small and the up-and-down of a townhouse means we don't use the basement much. 2500 sq ft on 2 levels, plus a garage and screen porch (neither of which we have now) would be ideal. [/quote] CA sounds wonderful especially in this oppressive heat [/quote]
