It just isn't a thing to have more than 4 bedrooms, and even that is a hard find, so I doubt they would ask more than a pony or a unicorn. I am willing to bet my children will prefer this, to commuting hours for anything, if it was a choice we were willing to impose on my husband. 
Loggia is a covered balcony. A must, soo practical! |
When I was a teen we went to Paris for school trips and stayed with local french families. Definitely a different style of living. None of my classmates were rich but we mostly lived in 4 or 5 bedroom houses. In Paris everyone was in apartments. (Now property in London is so much more expensive not sure that is the case anymore) Also in Paris I think long term renting is much more common.
But as I am sure you know happiness is also about what others have. If everyone is living in similarly sized apartments or houses, people will mind less that they share a bedroom with 2 siblings.

3200 sq feet. Plus garage.
I find a bigger home is easier to clean as it’s not cluttered.
We custom built so the layout is perfect for us. Made some mistakes but overall it’s pretty perfect.

May I inquire as to what kind of layout? I'm comparing a few different ones now that we're looking to custom build.

1900 sf plus basement.
It was built in the 1980s so the rooms are on the small side. I do not need 4000 sf but a larger kitchen and dining room would be nice and I would like a slightly bigger bathroom so I could have a big bathtub. But that wouldn't add up to a huge amount of space.

I guess with good shalom bayis and a positive attitude in life, it can work fine. |
A meter is more than a yard. This is quite large.

Yes. But usually basement square footage is calculated separately like 2,000 SF plus 900 SF finished/unfinished basement.

No.. 100 sq meters is 1076.391 square feet. 3200 sf is unheard of in Paris.

3600 SF. I'm happy. Could always use another guestroom or two. Then again, I was happy in my cramped three room tiny apt too. A house doesnt make the home. Creating a home in a size house is key!
On one hand there's more to clean . Otoh, everything has it's designated space.

1550 sq ft condo plus a finished basement. We have one kid, and it's perfect for us. I would love a single family home in the 2500 sq ft range eventually... that's my dream.
