Damn... 3,800 of living area *including* our finished basement. We designed the basement so it could easily be converted into an in-law suite as it has a full bath, kitchen area (less stove and only a bar fridge) and TV/sitting area. The rest is a playroom with pool table, foosball and pinball. The unfinished area includes closets and my workroom. With both kids soon gone we do not need this size of house and will definitely get something smaller. I didn't need 3900 square feet and I had four. :) Wow... We didn't either. I grew up in a small bungalow and then a modest 4 bedroom ranch with my 4 sisters. We had a pond in the back that my dad dug. We skated on it during the winter. My good friend down the road had a big hill in his backyard we used for sledding. It had a nice open space at the bottom of the hill and played baseball and football on. My buddy next door had a basketball hoop that was great for 2 on 2 or 1 on 1 games, including HORSE. We spent a lot of time outside. I probably had more fun in that house (1 tv, 1 telephone) than my kids did in this house. But you only live once and the house has appreciated nicely since we built it. ;-) |
