Too Much of a Good Thing?

When Less is More

Guess how many Bedrooms and Bathrooms there are in this 3,000 square foot Fern Hill home:

A. 3 BR/2 BA

B. 4 BR/2 BA

C. 4 BR/3 BA

D. 6 BR/5 BA

Answer: D

I haven't been inside, so I can't say for sure.

But you'd certainly guess that a home this size with so many bedrooms and baths feels cramped, if not claustrophobic.

Taking a home from 2 Bedrooms to 3 certainly adds value.

You could even argue that going from 3 Bedrooms to 4 does, too.

However, somewhere between that 4th and 6th(!) Bedroom -- especially in a medium-sized home -- the law of diminishing returns kicks in . . . or begins to operate in reverse!

P.S.: One possible explanation? The home's owned by a contractor -- who didn't know when to call it quits.
