ᐅ Semi-detached house with 105 sqm of living space and 80 sqm of usable area

Hello dear forum,

I would like to get your opinions on the following project (not my own, just came across the offer).

Semi-detached house with 105 m² (1130 sq ft) of living space and 80 m² (860 sq ft) of utility space (I assume this refers to a basement).
According to the listing, the house has 5 rooms.
It has 1.5 floors, so I assume a pitched roof with knee wall (height unknown).
Plot size: 250 m² (2690 sq ft)
Price: not specified, needs to be asked.

Apart from the limited information, my question is who would build something like this?

Assuming the 80 m² (860 sq ft) of utility space is the basement, the footprint of the ground floor would also be about 80 m² (860 sq ft). That leaves only 25 m² (270 sq ft) for the upper floor, which suggests a very low or even no knee wall. This would make the upper floor practically unusable as living space. I also wonder how five rooms can fit in there? And of course, the price remains a key question.

Can anyone make sense of this?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Best regards

Your entire argument is based on the basement.
The building may only be partially basemented or something else entirely.
Usable space can also include the attic, utility room, etc.
You will only get a clear answer by making an inquiry.

The person whose development plan allows for such a house. Why not? It depends on the floor plan. This is actually a common size for older houses, all of which are very livable.

This is an offer for a new build, not an existing property.

Not every assumption made without verification has to be wrong, but: why are you asking us about a property of which you apparently only know the headline of the offer — is this just for the sake of abstract philosophical discussion?

My comments/remarks also apply to a new build. Please take a look at the plans. Even 200m² (2,150 sq ft) can be poorly usable.
