Piggybacking on Sphere's holiday density... how big is your home?
Quote | Reply
Our house is 2300 sq ft, but we rent out the downstairs so 3 of us plus the dog essentially live in 1200 sq ft. We feel it is plenty of space but would need more if we have another kid. The smallest I've lived in was a 500 sq ft apartment I shared with my wife when we were dating.

What are you shacked up in?

Long Chile was a silly place.

Does the basement count? It's finished.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Finished living space counts.
If your basemen looks like it fits on the set of Silence of the Lambs... then no.

How much is that translated into sensible units of measurement (the kind that every normal person in the civilized world is using)?

Then somewhere around 2300 sqft. 1600 without it.

1 BR apartment. I don't know the square footage.

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine

I just looked at Zillow it says mine is 2100 but I think it’s closer to 3k. Both of the neighbors are showing as around 3k.

But our basement was finished super sketchily by a previous owner - with no permit on file. So that may be the difference.

We wanted a smaller house but also a 3 car garage for our toys- and could not find that.

I shared a very small 1br apartment with a roommate in Dublin - maybe 350 sq ft - under the eves - best year ever!

Really? Here finished basements count for both real estate and taxes (assuming your work was permitted).

I try to dumb things down here for the Americans :-).

Although it's funny, despite Canada being a metric country we measure many things in imperial. For some reason, house and lot size fall in to that category. Distance and length we measure in imperial up to around 100ft... Then switch to m/km.

Basement is finished and was not included in the assessment. But we have it rented out.

Upstairs we have 2800sq ft which is more than plenty for us to grow the family.

But today, we’ll have 12 people and 3 very large dogs, so the space is welcomed! We host the majority of the holidays which I don’t mind, I love having my family over.

This year will be interesting because my sisters dog is currently in heat and our guy is intact. So if we’re not super vigilant, I may me asking the LR if anyone wants German shepherd/ Bernese Mountain Dog pups lol.

Happy Thanksgiving all! Best to your families.

2500 sq. ft. for our family of 5.

3000 sq. ft. if we count the climate-controlled sunroom. I forget the reason, but the appraiser told us that it wasn't considered a livable space.

I'd like to downsize into a 1500 sq. ft. house once the kids are moved out.

Smallest was a 150 sq. ft. barracks room before I got married. I think our first apartment in Savannah, Georgia was 1100 sq. ft.

Yes, weird. Must be the bad influence from south of the border :-)
210 sqm is what we have also. Since the three kids moved out one by one it's just the two of us plus two cats. It's really more space than we need day to day, but nice to have room for everyone when the kids or the parents or the in-laws (or all of them at once) come visit.

As noted in Sphere’s thread 3600 sq/ft. In college I lived for two years in a roughly 750 sq/ft apartment with 4 other guys. 1920’s unrenovated 4 bd/1ba with two dudes sharing the “big” bedroom. That was cozy.

Not here. (Bi-levels or 4-level-splits count all levels, but if there is a main floor and basement, the basement doesn't count).

Forgot about smallest. I rented a single bedroom in a house once in grad school. Hated the roommates so I kept to myself in there. Hot plate and dish ware and all.

I moved to a studio apt that was probably around 750 sq ft IIRC. That’s when I started dating my wife. Had everything I needed.

Holy crap, you people have a lot of house. We used to have a 1800 sqft house which was too much house for us. We downsized to a 1300 sqft house. The size is perfect. The only negative is that we only have 1 bath. Every once in a while, it'd be nice to have another.

920 sq ft loft but only little ol’ me and my dog living in it. Smallest was a 510 sq ft apartment I shared with my (ex) wife.

So, about 21,000 hamburgers then.

I don’t know how you do that. Our vacation home is 1300sq/ft and I have a hard time imagining living there comfortably on a permanent basis.

Condo is 1265, it has a deck but no yard, house is 1466, yard is about 11,500 square feet. Just the 2 of us, so plenty of space. (Still filled with crap though) smallest was our first apartment in Hong Kong was 350 square feet. It was a very small one bedroom.

When I move to Canada I found this mix of metric and imperial very strange. I did a race once where the distance was given in km but the pace on result list was given in miles/min.
BTW, my house is about 3000sqft
