My brother bought a 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1015 square foot house with a 2 car garage built in 1961. He bought it in 1967. He has since converted half the garage into a Family Room.....LOL, like about 50 years ago. So it is about 1215 square feet now.
I bought a 3 bedroom 2 bath 1756 square foot house with a 2 car garage built in 1979. I bought it in 1983. We since have added a bedroom, 1/2 bath on, 30 years ago. Now it is a 2010 square foot, 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house.
We live 6 miles from each other.
