I just bought a 1600 sq ft home and it's honestly too small cause both me and my wife want our PC gamer setups so we have a dedicated room for that but then I need an office too so we end up hanging out all day in literally the smallest room in the house.
I'll be doing a major remodel to address this among other issues. But yea if we had a game room or a loft or something similar it would be a lot better.
The appraisal came in with the lot being 600k and the home itself is only 350k.
Half an acre though.
