    1. What rooms would you deem necessary for a house, and how necessary are they?

      I know for basic living for one single person and no pets, a bathroom, and kitchen+living room+bedroom are the bare essentials. So basically a studio.

      What I'm looking for is some opinions on what separated rooms are needed/wanted for a house, and also how needed/wanted are they? I'd say the bathroom and "studio" room would rank as #1 and #2, unless you plan on having the "studio" area separate. In that case, these are ranked as:
      Bathroom -1
      Kitchen - 2
      Bedroom - 3
      Living room - 4

      Maybe add in closets here and there, and a laundry room?

      Bthrm closet - 5
      Laundry - 6
      Bdr closet - 7
      Pantry - 8
      Lvgrm closet - 9

      But I know nothing of what rooms are necessary (or lesser known possible rooms/areas) for living, or even how big they should be. I know in my state, NC, the bare minimum is 720 sq ft, so shooting for slightly over that would be ideal for me. I don't want to have a huge house to clean, and I love cozy, small spaces. If I want to see some larger space, I'll look out a window or go outside.

      So what would be your numbered list for priority rooms in a house?
