Hanco: My home is a comfy cozy 5,400 square feet - 4 bedrooms , four bathrooms and a large protected on all sides "Mormon pantry" that has been turned into a gun vault room (no windows - one steel door now, entrance), all cedar steam room sauna and a connected (but not counted in the 5,400 square feet of living space) 3 car garage, office room, large view/sun room and two "laundry rooms" (one upstairs one downstairs) with intercom system and a HUGE rec room/trophy area with a hot tub on one of our cement patios.
I often can not easily find the VarmintWife in this huge house!
Now that the VarmintSons are done with college and out on their own it IS way to much room for just the two of us - if the house were not so well insulated and cheap to heat - we would look for a smaller place.
But its paid for and the taxes are cheap so I vote for staying in place.
Hold into the wind
