Not counting dorm rooms and "just married" apartments that we've lived in (some pretty small places but they seemed fine at the time), the smallest was a one-bathroom 1200 square foot bungalow in England. Current house is 2300 square feet with a 2-car garage, and now that we're empty nesters it's more than we need. But no need to move at present, and it's nice to have room for the occasional visitors.
Lots of 4000 square foot houses (with 3 or 4-car garages and two or three pickup trucks always parked in the driveway) in our area. It's not unusual to have even bigger places around here (Eastern NM/West TX).
