First, I didn't say my 3 bd isn't big enough for 3, I said not big enough for 4. Unless we have two boys. We have a girl and my wife loses her office. Unhappy wife = moving or stone cold misery, take your pick.
But if you look at the plans for that house, what you're looking at is 2300+483+697 (garage+porches) = 3480 sq ft. And it's a ranch, it'd be a lot more compact if the bedrooms were on a second floor.
Pulled up my appraisal and my cape cod is listed as 1300 sq ft, not counting 800 for the basement, 40% of which is utilities. So that makes it more like 1800 living area.
Bottom line, 1800 3 bd is feeling small now, 2500 4 bd would be just fine. That's not mcmansion territory.
