Growing up in the 60's our terms were master bedroom (largest one in the house). If the bath was attached it was a master bath, making it a master suite. If the two smaller bedrooms had a shared bath with doors in their bedrooms, that was called a Jack and Jill bath. If you had to walk into the hallway to access the bath, it was simply the bathroom.
But, as I've grown up and started posting online with a worldwide community, I know not only each area has it's own terms, but each generation, too....
I watched a new episode of Property Brothers and I was surprised to hear the couple say that they wanted an interior wall to retain the brick versus drywalling over it. (It was a row home and they expected the walls separating the homes to have brick. Ironically, the interior wall did not have brick, but the couple still wanted it because they like that 'old world charm' so the guys used real brick to make them this wall.
Of course, I still wanted to throttle the wife for all of her damn expensive requests on her 700K home and then complain when minor 700 dollars in repairs come up.
I'd love a couple who wanted a small house to show up on the show. I mean less than 1k. Considering that most apartments are smaller than that, add a bit of a yard and you could look it as having lots of space. My house is 720k, and has survived since 1930 unchanged. It's got thick walls and ONE foundation. For me, even for me and one other person, I think its worth it to HAVE your own home. But I'm going to add see thru doors between kitchen and living room so I can keep the dogs out if I want.
I'd sooooo love for a couple to be quite adament about their needs being compact and practical and finding it. Yeah for frugality.
My house is an ongoing project to perfect it and sanding the floors my be this summers's job.
I never heard the term "on/en suite" until these shows. To me it was always just the Master Bathroom which I assumed was attached to the Master Bedroom. I guess the word "suite" sounds more posh smh.
The views cracks me up when you can see just a spec of water or mountain through one window between two homes across the street and around the telephone pole, its a joke.
I will say we did look at about 30 homes when we were on the search and saw another couple hundred online.
"En suite" was originally used in Canada, especially Toronto, where many of these house shows originate.
I find the necessity of having "a view" to be pretty silly and superficial in most cases, especially some of these folks that are only renting. I can understand not wanting to overlook an ugly parking lot or an industrial site, but rejecting a perfectly nice home because you don't have views of some mountains 30 miles away?

What, you don't think a 2500 square foot house and a three car garage for two people is cramped???
ATTENTION YOU ALL: New jargon is showing up on the show.
Now, apparently, an all purpose room where things like TV watching, children playing, entertaining and office space is happening is being called a "Super Room". Get hip, y'all.
