My wife and I lived comfortably for 7 years in a row house that was 12'6" wide and about 40' long with two bedrooms. It was even fine with our son but the addition of our daughter and a growing tension over noise with our neighbour through the wall was the tipping point.

As many have said before layout is key, especially in the Kitchen. Read up a bit on Kitchen design to help you while searching.

Minimizing furniture and clutter is also key. My parents have too much of it and no matter how big their house is, you're always trying to step around someone or waiting for them to pass by.

Also remember that if you have a backyard and deck or patio, your square footage will catapult upwards in the summer. Sweet, glorious Summer!
