[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Homes in my neighborood [/b]range in size between 6K and 10K sq. ft.  They have generously sized rooms and high ceilings, and many are configured for multigenerational living, allowing parents to comfortably visit for extended periods of time, or to live with the primary homeowners.  In practice, that means a large guest area with separate living room and bedroom, a large walk-in closet, and a large bathroom.  Secondary washer/dryers are often present, as well.

The other spaces provide for more than a single office; many homeowner couples both work from home at least some of the time.  Several of the homes have rooms devoted exclusively to golf simulators, most have spaces for separate home theaters and gyms.   Families with smaller children usually dedicate one or more places for playrooms.  [/quote]

The lots are huge there, but they build such homes on much smaller lots these days closer-in in Mclean.  10K sq.ft. on .5 acre is hardly unusual.  I always wonder what the necessity for this is as I don't see huge families living in these homes.  3 car garages seem to fit all the cars and none are parked in the driveways or on the street. 
I think a lot of space is dedicated to recreational use and entertaining guests (formal living/dining areas, gyms, hobby rooms, home theater, game room, etc) There is some variation of the above with some homes even having private saunas and wine rooms.  Clearly, this is geared towards giving people a "taste" of the lifestyle of the rich, except many people buying these homes are not loaded the same way and have to work for a living, don't have full time staff, and don't have all the time to enjoy these spaces and don't even have energy to constantly entertain.  There must be the appeal, it would suck having to pay for this extra space if not used frequently enough.   [/quote]
