Inside (interior) we have 3200sf but it's split between 2 houses that are 70 miles apart...our larger one is a waterfront home with 1700 sf inside plus another 1,000 sf split between 2 decks (upper and a street level ie; waterview from both levels, with water access from lower level.) that home is a 3 bd/2bth.
Other home is 1500 ranch *just added 200 sf recently* on 3+ acres in the country. Has a 40x40 woodbuilder's shop that dh had custom built a year ago w/custom planed pined walls he did himself. It has a nice heat propane corner fireplace; water, super extra power for all his machines, etc. Home came with a 20x20 (2 car) detached garage that we re-sided to match the new existing shop (exterior two tone colors) This home also has a deck; a small 20x20 that we plan on enlarging at some point soon, I hope. It is our retirement home, *we bought it 8 yrs. ago* and dh has just retired early @ 52 a couple months ago, 3 yrs. ahead of schedule!! Yay he's been a mechanical engineer over 30 yrs., has held super stressful positions, VP, etc..we just want some time to stop and smell the roses and he wants to ride his tractor around and engage different implements for different jobs around here..he put in a beautiful woodstove a few years back (both homes have woodstoves...and the acreage home*the cottage* has a famous 'firepit' for the famous s'mores ...can't forget those!
We're keeping our waterfront home we've had for 19 yrs. for at least another year or two; taking our time deciding which option we're going to take regarding it. Both homes are paid off and have been for years...have enough reserves and zero debt so we're just cruisin' along comfortable....we're in our early and late 50's. Raised 3 kids and have 3 g'kids and other than a few health issues we're doing pretty well and enjoying life most days.
