What do you call a 4,000-square-foot house?

Simply put, a 4,000 sq. ft. home is a large single-family house. Some sites have referred to homes this size as “mini-mansions,” but it’s not a widely accepted term across the real estate industry.

How many bedrooms can a 4,000 square-foot house have?

Most 4,000 square foot homes include three to five bedrooms depending on the size you’d like each. If you want each bedroom to be its escape, then you can choose a design with three unique, spacious bedrooms. If you need more rooms, there are a variety of designs with five or more rooms.

Is 4,000 sq. ft. a big house?

Yes, a 4,000 sq. ft. building plan is substantial by most standards. In fact, it’s almost double the average size house in the U.S. (2,200 sq. ft.).

As stated above, 4,000 sq. ft. is a substantial home, but it is not a mansion. The minimum acceptable sq. ft. for a house to be considered a mansion is 5,000.

What does it cost to build a 4,000 square-foot house?

The price tag associated with building 4,000 sq. ft. house plans ranges from $400,000 to $800,000+. The broad range in cost is due to multiple factors, including, but not limited to:

• Labor: Specialized designs call for specialized contractors, which cost more.
• Materials: Higher quality materials throughout the home add up quickly.
• Style of the home: Some designs, such as Mediterranean house plans, feature ornate decorative elements that will add to the home's overall beauty but will also increase the cost.
