Good decision!
I would have taken it too in your place.
Perfect location is much more important and also more permanent than compact rooms.
Expansion potential is also there, but bigger is not automatically better.
Office in the basement works great, playroom in winter too, in summer you’re outside anyway.
Hope everything works out and you move in soon and will be happy.
P.S. is the bathroom really furnished as in the floor plan?
It wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me, but clever is something else.
