New England's Largest Home Being Built
The average U.S. home measures about 2,500 square feet - up from 1,995 square feet in 1988 - according to the National Association of Home Builders. But while houses are getting bigger, rarely are they built as big as the new Chase house.
Then there's the smallest:Marianna Cusato's Katrina Cottage, originally designed to house victims of Hurricane Katrina, is available to Louisiana and Mississippi residents in floor plans ranging from 544 to 936 square feet. The cost is $45 to $50 per square foot, or $50,000 for the largest model.
Smaller houses can be a perfect fit for many homeowners
How about these two in the Village?
The ever-changing urban view is a blessing, considering their entire one-bedroom apartment measures about 200 square feet, including the bathroom, the separate bedroom and the huge 19th-century fireplace that they occasionally use for roasting marshmallows.

Then you can build a 2,000 sq foot mausoleum
if you like.....for the after life.

Many mega square footage mansions, castles, etc.
were donated to the state by their former owners' families because they couldn't afford
the expensive upkeep and high real estate taxes.
Can you see this happening here
about a hundred years from now?
despite its size the mansion looks boring. It's too uniform with the windows all spaced out the same distance apart like those on an apartment building. Very dull and unimaginative.
