All The Right Spaces In All The Wrong Places!?
Scott P. Rogers
Layout and room size is so important.
It's delightful to have 2500 square feet -- but that amount of space could present itself very differently in a variety of homes...
- 2500 SF split amongst two floors with three bedrooms and an open great room with kitchen, living room and dining area
- 2500 SF split amongst three floors including five bedrooms, a living room, family room, dining room, sitting room, den and office
As you can likely gather from these two exaggerated descriptions above...
- the first house would likely feel open and spacious with large rooms and would likely provide great opportunities for gathering together in common living spaces with family or friends
- the second house would likely feel very cramped and chopped up with small rooms and there likely wouldn't be many spaces where you could have more than two or three people comfortably gathered together
Each house is probably "the perfect house" for some buyers, somewhere -- but I'm guessing that both houses aren't perfect for you. Most buyers would find themselves gravitating towards one of the houses at the exclusion of the other.
As such, it is vital that we walk through houses to see how the floor plan and layout of the house will or will not support your needs and typical life activities.
