We considered an add-on, but decided it was much quicker, less bother and much less expensive just to find an expanded existing home and move. It took us a year and the watchful eyes of several good sales agents to find one that fit our specifications and allowed us to make relatively inexpensive interior modifications for storage and special uses in "oversized" but under utilized rooms.

Good idea. I have a friend here who has three bedrooms and two and a half baths, but her home is 2500 square feet. It’s on a small lake on Palermo in La Zamora. About 25 years old. Sale estimate around $600,000. Her master closet is the size of my guest room. Her master bath is nearly as big as my living room. So is her kitchen. There’s a strong room about 8x14. Her guest room has two queen beds in it. And then there’s the big glassed-in lanai. And the over-sized garage. Super-sized. These occur now and then.
