Here's a new house, offered at $829,000, in Broadview, that might be useful as a guide. It is 2419 SF, 3 bedrooms, 13/4 baths upstairs and a 1/2 bath downstairs (they say 2.25 bath). Two-car garage has translucent glass door. The lot is 8,235 SF (0.189ac).
214 NW 140th Street.
The main floor has nearly 10' ceilings. The doorway from kitchen to living room is 8'. Upstairs is more ordinary, but the master has a vaulted ceiling. There's a linear fireplace in the living room and directly above it in the master bedroom.

| It's a corner lot with no rear yard. The lawns shown here are two big side yards. |
The rooms are heated with individual electric heaters (the house has gas, too), as well as Hydronic Heating, which they had a brochure about. It involves a closed-loop water line that moves heat from source to destination. The water heater is tankless (on the wall in the garage). There is a mud room between the garage and the dining room that seems very practical and also has a door to the rear.
 |
| Kitchen is nice enough. Note the asymmetric sink window. A cabinet stack is out of frame on the left. |
 |
| Lackluster stairs off the entry, hall to dining. Fireplace enclosure is ceramic tile that looks like rusted tin. |
 |
| Extra-high bathroom counter. Shower has heads on opposite walls, drain in the center. Master and the other upstairs bath both have two sinks. |
