what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

and if you can break that down by room, that would be awesome.

here's a poll to dance on

ETA: I went from a 4 story brownstone to a 3 bedroom apt, so my perception is wacked. this is not meant to be a c0(k fight.

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

I voted for what we *will* have by the end of the year (by the end of the summer, hopefully). About 2700. 1500 was more than enough for just me and DW, but two DC really take up a lot of room!

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

Bigger than a bread box...but not by much.
I seriously think there is one spot in the house, that if I stand there....I can look into all 4 rooms of the house.

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

I just looked at our plans and did the math
L X W = sq footage.

Entire first floor which is completely open, including the mudroom and half bath, formal sitting room, formal dining room, family room, eat in kitchen with island
Not including the garage, since we dont use this as living space is 1250 sq ft

Upstairs we have 3 guest bedrooms
one is 132 sq ft, double door closet
two is 134 sq feet double door closet
three is 150 sq feet double door closet, this room has high ceiling
it makes it look alot bigger

Our master suite is on the 2nd floor as well
including both closets and our master bath and bedroom it is 524 sq ft

We also have a laundry room on the 2nd floor
that is 40 sq ft

guest bath on 2nd floor is 40 sq feet

Our 2nd floor is smaller because we opted out of a 5th bedroom for a 2 story ceiling when you walk in.

The basement which is the entire length of the first floor minus the
mudroom is 1180 sq ft


With the basement, wich will be finsihed with gym, theater, bath, office the entire house equals 3450 sq ft

without the basement 2270 sq ft

HTH
took me some time to do the math calculations

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

Our house is probably over 4000sq ft, but probably not by much over.

I don't have the breakdown for you, but all our rooms with the exception of one of the upstairs bedrooms are fairly large. I know our finished basement is approx 900sq ft - It's bigger than my old apartment which was 800, so I'm approximated there.

Here are some old pictures of my kitchen from when we first moved in. All of the rooms on the main level of our house are fairly large and open.

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

We are in a 2 bedroom apartment and I think we have about 1200 square feet.

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

We are approximately 2200sq ft. All of the rooms in our house are pretty big. I don't have a breakdown of the rooms though

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

J - you've been at my house, so you can use that as a basis for judgement.

The "livable" sq. footage (what's counted on the appraisal) is 964 sq. ft. That would be our first floor.

The finished basement adds on another 750 sq feet.

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

Our livable square footage is 2500 sq. ft, not including the garage.

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

I'd say around 600-700 sq ft...tiny!

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

We have a 4 bedroom home, with den and formal living and dining, also there is a sunroom off the kitchen. Our house is a appox 2900 sq ft per our appraisal. HTH

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

Our two bedroom Co-op is 800sf. the master is 187 sf.
second br is 90
kitchen is 100
bath is 40
the rest is living room/ dining room combo.
When i first bought the place, it was perfect for me and my two cats, now that I'm married, it is very small. We both have too much stuff.

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

2700 with the Basement (1/2 finished)

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

Our Square footage based on the footprint is 1725 SF, but our actual livable space (not including closets, stairwells, hallways) is 1377 SF

I actaully have the floor plan drafted in CAD because I have been running through ideas for our remodel - I just took a screen shot, so I'm not sure if it'll will be readable. We have a 100 year old farm house, so the living spaces are good size but the bedrooms are really small. This is now:


and this is one of my ideas for the remodel (this is making the 2 upstairs porches enclosed and part of the living space)


I hope this helps!

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

maybe these will work better:

now:


future plans:

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

wow. thanks everyone keep it coming. this is VERY VERY helpful.

M-lo, so when you bought the house, it was based on the first floor only and you converted the downstairs (which I ) btw. total pad.

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

Ours is 2700 square feet not including the basement or the attic which is a walk up and we will be finishing.

With the basement it's 4050. I don't know what the attic is.

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

I would guess about 1400 square feet

about 600 more then we used to have

and still way to small for us- and the "fur kids"

we are looking for a house atleast double that- which is about the size of house I grew up in-

we loose a whole room to storage- since it's an apartment- and both of our parents moved- we have everything we have ever owned with us- which stinks

we need a house with a full basement, 2 car gargage etc

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

Living space is about 4100 square feet without the garage.. I don't have a basement

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

LIVING space which is not supposed to include bathrooms, garages, or basements - 2000

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

about 1700 sq ft. If your layout is good that is a good sized home.

Our layout isn't.

We would love to have a differen layout..even though I love the charm of my house.

This isn't our forever home though..we will eventually upgrade.

Re: what is your total habitable living space SQUARE FOOTAGE?

We have about 1550 sq. ft. in a 2-level hi-ranch (4 bedroom, 3 full bath).

ETA: Our house is listed at 1850 sq. ft., but that includes our 300 sq. ft. back deck!
