Unfortunately, there isn’t enough space on a standard lot to build a “wow” house. Just getting a powder room on the main floor to not open into your dining/living area is a challenge! Wife wanted a wok kitchen, a rooom/den, and mudroom on the main floor and it just wasn’t possible. Laneway house or double garage? Pick one.
On top of that, if you can only afford a standard lot, then resale value will also probably be a factor.
