I guess that kind of makes sense, since my house was built in the 1950s. It doesn't feel all that large though.

I will admit that I might be a little skewed given that comparing my house to the others in my neighborhood, it's on the smaller size. Most houses I've seen go on the market in my neighborhood are generally 3-400+ sqft larger.

I wanna chime and say, it's not that huge...

I just bought my first home, and I live alone. It's a single story home, with a basement, built in 1959. The upstairs is about 1000 sq/ft, while the basement is only about 200 sq/ft making it strictly a laundry area.

Having now lived in the house for about 3 months, I can say that it's more than comfortable for me, and is easily managed in terms of cleaning. It's definitely not a huge place, and when I have friends over for dinner and there's more than 5 of us, it can feel quite cramped.

I guess if you live in Brooklyn in one of those 300sqft places, it would feel huge...
