My house is just at 5000 sf. So that works out to 1666 sf per person. Of course one of those people is a baby, so he doesn't really use that much space yet.
Yes, it is more house than we need. And there are a few areas that we don't often use. I've always liked a lot of space for myself and this house has it. The house also has a very open floor plan. Our living room/dining room is 25.5 feet by 26 feet with no walls (an exposed laminate wood beam spans the house there to support the distance. And that is next to the kitchen/family room which is 14 feet by 32 feet. Between the two rooms is one 4 foot doorway, a 4 foot bar pass through, and another standard size doorway. Leads to the house feeling quite open and unencumbered.
We've happily lived in a 1800 sf house and a 1200 sf house before. The one thing that they had in common was openness in the floor plan, particularly in the living areas.
