Usually it’s the other way around.

It could be running fire escapes and scenic water.

Which is a small bungalow…
Ours is 850 sq ft and we’ve got 3 bedrooms, so if we removed one we would be at 750 sq ft and rearrange the divisions and it could be smaller.
Post war housing built by the Canadian government was 600 to 800 sq ft bungalows with two or three bedrooms, 70s bungalows around here are 850 to 1150 sq ft with three or four bedrooms…

It’s basically a two bedroom bungalow, that’s not that crazy to imagine is it?

Maybe it’s just my mental idea of a bungalow that equates it to a slightly larger wooden tent.

That’s what we used to have before landlords convinced you to live your whole life in somebody else’s spare room.

My first house was an 800 sq ft cottage - smaller than most apartments. The bedrooms could only fit a Full bed, not a Queen. It had the same number of rooms OP listed and was the perfect size for me. I’m not familiar with a “bungalow” but that’s what I’m imagining.

Just a small bungalow with its own private gym.

If you’ve got two bedrooms and only need one then having a gym in the other one isn’t a luxury. Hell, is less of a luxury than using it as a spare bedroom that is useless except for storage and getting visitors a few times a year.

Do bungalows typically have basements?
GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Regionally dependent, typically based on the weather, terrain, and how populated the area is. In cold places with more than 16 feet to bedrock, you will typically have basements because they’re cheaper to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. If the bedrock or the water table is close to the surface, basements are too expensive or impossible. If there is lots of space around you and it isn’t too cold, you won’t have basements because they cost more per square foot than building on the surface. If you’re densely populated (and don’t have the exclusion conditions listed above), you will likely have a basements because it costs less to have a second floor (above or below) than it does to buy more land.
In short, bungalows have basements where it’s more cost-effective than having a bigger bungalow.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!
