Well, 240m2 and then only 17m2? At least are there 5 rooms?
Hi Phil
240sqm living space in a new build, that’s really generous [emoji4][emoji106] how many people are you?
Interesting how differently sizes are built.
For us, 140 sqm is ideal.
We are also thinking about old age and then we will be just two again. That’s why everything will be built on one level and age-appropriate.
I have to say, including the granny flat (for longer visits from my mother-in-law) it’s even 300sqm + 70sqm basement + garage. Currently, there are 3 of us, but another child is planned. Let’s say it’s generous, but not as big as it seems.
Of course, it can be smaller, but often it’s nice to have a few extra sqm here and there. Admittedly, we also have above-average “traffic areas” because other things were simply more important to us than a few sqm here or there... Otherwise:
40sqm dining room/kitchen
35sqm living room
35sqm children’s room
30sqm man’s room
25sqm parents’ room
2 bathrooms without toilets
2 toilets
Sure, it’s generous, but not excessive...
