Part of the answer is how much of your current home do you use? Probably not every room every day.
Next think about what activities you would like to be in separate rooms in your new home. Maybe both you and your wife would like your own room for your hobbies etc. That room could have a couch that pulls out for a bed if you have company.
My guess is that a 3 bedroom home will meet your needs. Remember the main floor plan is open space so a separate private room maybe desirable. I would also look toward making the garage as large as possible and probably adding a few feet to the width of the rooms if possible.
