It had 3 bedrooms, one bath and a 1/4 unfinished basement. It was more than enough room for me and would have been enough room for my husband and me except he has different standards. And he does work from home, so maybe not. Entire families lived in houses that size and were just fine. I see these mega houses now with entire wings for the kids and wonder why people bother to have kids if they are never going to see them. PS The key to storage? Don't accumulate a lot of stuff.
