(151,492 posts)It's 1200 sq. feet. on two levels. Two bedrooms, 1.5 baths. One bedroom is my wife's office. Downstairs, there's a family room we don't use, an alcove that is my office, and the half bath and a utility room with furnace, washer and dryer, etc. The family room isn't needed, but we have furniture in it and use it as overflow space when we entertain larger groups, which we do only rarely.
In modern terms, the place is very small. We could do with less space, but we both like having separate office spaces. This year, we'll put a twin bed downstairs in the family room and use it as a day bed/couch, and for the occasional overnight guest.
Our house in California was just 600 sq. ft., with a sleeping loft. But, there, we rented an office suite for our work to get out of the house. That house was big enough, too, for us, except for working areas.
