What size is your present home?

[homemaker carol]

Ours is 1500 sq. ft. The home we sold in the city was only 900 sq. ft.

[dolphindream]

Under air is 1730sq. ft. (kitchen, dining room, living room, 2 baths, 3 bedrooms, utility/laundry room). The garage is close to 550sq. ft. I have no idea about the front and back porches. I measured them last year and it seems like added together they were close to 1300sq. ft.

How do I figure up sq footage? LOL

[Tina]

Our house is 1140 sq ft. Now that most of the basement is finished I should count that too but I'm sure how much that would be.

[Dolphin]

Ours is 1650 sq ft. Our home in Missouri was only 1150 and I really like the extra square footage except when it comes to cleaning time. :D

[heartathome]

Ours is 2100 Sq. ft. Living room/dining room combo, kitchen, powder room and laundry room down, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths up plus a bonus room over the garage.

We live in a tiny 1000 square foot apartment on the 3rd floor! :( Gotta love it! :rolleyes:

We had great housing in Georgia :(

[MandiDawn]

Our house is only 1050 sq ft, no basement, no garage, no attic, and no closets lol. Actually we have two really small closets, but no pantry, no linen closet, no coat closet, so space is cramped. This has helped me to learn to live with less. I throw away so much it's not funny.
But even with all that, I am learning to love my house. Our last remodeling project was new ceilings and new carpet, and that has made me fall in love with our house. I actually told BF I could live there forever now. I hope he don't hold me to that!!!

1,712 square feet....our little rent house on the same property is 1,000 sq. feet.

I'm not sure of the square footage! We have 1 large room and 2 smaller rooms plus the bathroom on the first floor. The second floor (story and a half house) has 3 SMALL bedrooms. NO CLOSETS except eave storage on the second floor. And our basement is a primitive thing with rock walls and a damp floor (probably used to be dirt and has been covered with concrete) and very open to the elements (and critters).

[Mamawolf]

1200 square feet here, once we finally get our basement done, it will be a total 2400 sq. foot!

[zakity]

Our house is 1024 sq ft. For the 5 of us, it is too small. We have talked about renovating the garage into a rumpus room or another bedroom maybe.

[Tammy]

Our home is about 2500 sq ft not including the 2 car carport.Not sure how to figure that out :)

Living room dining room combo,kitchen,5 bedrooms,2 baths,and laundry room.

[Sara]

Our house is a couple feet shy of 3500 sq ft. That's including a finished basement and realtors don't count that, but I do since it's space we use daily and it has windows, fireplace, built in bar, etc. This space doesn't include our back 3 season porch or garage. We have a nice bonus room above our garage, but it needs to be insulated and until it is, we don't use it because it's either way too hot or way too cold. :( It's kinda silly how our house is this large and the bathrooms are so darn small!

[homemaker carol]

Dee, take the length times the width and you'll have your sq. footage.

[Katybird]

Ours in 1764 sq feet. It is has 3 bedrooms with 2 full baths. We have only been it since January but I love it so far. :)

[Englishlady]

Our house is pretty small, in the UK we tend to talk Room sizes rather than overall square footage, I suspect that is because they would sound too small the other way!!

My own house measures up like this:

Living Room 18 foot length ways 12 foot wide ( our Dining Table is also in this room)

Kitchen 11 foot wide 9 foot 6 inches long

Bedroom (1) 10 foot wide 10 foot long ~this room has fitted Wardrobes which take up quite a bit of the above floor space ;)

Bedroom (2) 10 foot wide 9foot 6 inches long

Bedroom (3) 8 foot by 8 foot 6 inches ( Now used by us as a Study/Storage/dumping ground!)

Bathroom 6 foot by 7ft 6 (in the UK on Real estate details bathroom measure ments are not always given, too bloody small that's why!!!)

Guest W.C. This is a tiny, tiny room about 4 foot wide by 5 foot long, with a toilet & sink in it!

Garage ( not attached to the house directly) 17 foot long 8 foot wide ( approx)
We have a Conservatory too, but it is boiling hot in Summer and like a second giant Fridge in Winter so not worth calculating as any kind of "living area"!!

Just worked out that the square footage is about 800 square feet (give or take a little) so I know what I am talking about when, it comes to "fitting it all in" :D
That is my Bijou little home, I will post pictures of some bits of it ;) when I get time to sort out the digital pics, if anyone is interested...........

Houses here are tiny ( well we live on a small Island!) and I was quite shocked recently when I went to see some newly built houses the rooms were even smaller than mine :eek:

Older houses here have much better room sizes, but they were built in the days when there were fewer people & more land............I have learnt to "cut my cloth accordingly" and try and convince myself that because my house is so small I can: be generous with the heating!, change the Carpets every 5-10 years ( when re decorating)clean it faster! ( yeah?!!) and that "small is beautiful :D

[AmyMCGS]

Roughly 3,300 feet here-- we built this home last year complete with a finished basement. It's almost exactly three times the size of our last home!

[DedleRed]

Ours is 2200 square feet not counting the basement

[Naderbug]

Mine's about the size of a shoebox. :P It's a bachlor apartment, and it's just DH and I and our furbaby. :)

Bright Blessings!

We live in a 3 bedroom mobile home...16x80....its feels nice and comfy here...i love it...its our first home together....

[bmiltimore]

TOO SMALL! :)

Right now we live in a condo which is about 1100 sq ft. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, laundry room, dining room (which we made into an office), kitchen, breakfast nook and family room. It is an upstairs unit so there in no yard--just a back patio.

It is beginning to feel small ever since our daughters toys began taking over the living room! We are ready to move into a 3 or 4 bedroom home--but not ready to pay the housing costs of Southern California which are ridiculous right now!!!

A tiny 3 bedroom home around here starts at $550,000!!! YIKES!

[mom2knk]

Our house is just under 2100 sq. feet and 2 stories.....which I hate! We have 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, kitchen, dining room, formal front room, family room and bonus room......no real laundry room, it is just a closet off the hallway downstairs.
