Ours is 5560 sq ft. Still not enough when kids and grandkids come home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. About the same for us. Too much room, then not enough. As long as grandkids enjoy 4 wheeler rides around the property, fishing in the pond, probably worth the trouble. Will sell and downsize when they’re older and don’t care about such.

2000 + a full, unfinished basement.
It seemed big when we built it in 2002, but now it looks like a "tiny home" next to most of the new construction in the area.
Perfect for us.

Not at all sure but its really too big. I think we ended up at 2200. Was 1600 and we took in the garage for a game run/gun room. Good use of it, its now a game room no one is in but Carolyn uses it for exercise. We never have folks over which is preferred by us so its ok. But NEVER go without a toilet for each human in the house.... if at all possible. Especially as you age...
What folks do with big houses is beyond me. Mom has one. She is only one left. Its just used to buy and store more crap. She needs a mini house at her age. I agree, Rost. I live in half of mine.

First house was 2,800 sf, 3 BR and 2.5 BA.
Second house was 4,200 sf, 4 BR and 3.5 BA.
Current house has 4,300 sf, 4 BR and 4.5 BA.
Retirement house has 3.900 sf, 5 BR and 6.5 BA. This house was built in 1948. It looks like we may need to spend about $300k for repairs and upgrades before we move in.

wife and I bought a little 1400 sq ft cape cod, built in the 30's, quiet little street in the city, good blue collar neighbors, walk to everything we needed - 4/2 brick - I paid $77K for it
Sold it 22 years ago and I still kick myself for doing it.
have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings

2261 single story ranch house. Really nice 12’ ceilings, bigwindows and what not. 3 car garage on an acre. No basements in this part of the world. Wifey and I just had our first baby 11 weeks ago. I hope we can squeeze them in, however many we end up with. If I never move again I’ll be happy about that. I’ve spent the last 15 years moving. I’ve had enough of that.

We are in a 1,500 Sq Ft split level (not counting ~800 Sq Ft of finished basement - man cave - reloading room). Raised both kids who are now gone, so plenty of room for me and the Mrs.
We are at the end of a Cul-De-Sac so have a pie-wedge shaped lot: Small, xeriscaped front yard, massive back yard with huge decking, hot tub, mature trees, horseshoe pit, Big Green Egg, Bar, and enough lawn for 3 volleyball courts. We spend a LOT of time in the back yard.

You despair, repeatedly, constantly! daily basis?
A despair ninny.
Sack up, despire ninny.
