A studio. That's why I am asking how big. I want to fit a queen size bed, frame, shelve dresser thing, decent sized couch (or sectional), a coffee table, TV.
That could end up feeling like a furniture warehouse if its all crammed in a medium to small studio. You might want to consider having a sofabed instead of a separate bed and sofa. Its a compromise, I know.
I believe all new construction studios should be 400sq ft+, but older ones can be anywhere in size. Currently living in 275 sq ft and I can't wait to get out. 1 year is ok in such a small space but the lack of space quickly becomes an annoyance. On a good note, cleaning won't take long at all.
My last apt was a studio and was about 350 sq feet. I lived there for 3 years. It wasn't bad with a lofted bed and two large closets...were it not for the closets I would have gone crazy.
I had one that was 440 square feet in Manhattan but it was crazy expensive. A realtor would have called it a junior one bedroom, but with no wall separating the bedroom from the other room, it's just a funny shaped studio. You might want to look into something that size.
