On our current build we enlarged the footprint larger by extending the lanai 8' deeper; extending the garage 6' feet; extending the golf cart garage 8'; extending the nook 4'; stretching the front bedroom 3' to add a closet; adding a bay window in front bedroom which lengthened the floor space by 3'; and extending the master bedroom 2' deeper but instead of taking the full 2' for the bedroom, we used 1' for the bedroom and used the other to widen the his/her closets.
If the lot was just a little bit wider we could've and would've added the 2' side stretch along the guest/living room side of the home.

We would have done all of those VERY things if we had built a Gardenia again. You thought this all out well, in my very humble opinion. I KNOW you will enjoy all of the things you have added.
