Should I be worried about buying a "niche" house

Just got my bid accepted at 10% over listing price for a 1.100 sq ft apartment on ground floor, with high ceiling (14.7ft), with the two large rooms (living & kitchen) on the ground floor (860sq ft) separated with the bathroom/storage in-between. The open bedroom is located on a mezzanine/entresol floor, accessible via stairs in the kitchen. This ceilings of this floor are 6.5 feet high.

This layout fits our current lifestyle (young, no kids), but if we were to have kids we would need a place with closed off bedrooms. This also strikes the question, if we were to sell this place, would it be difficult to sell?

Next to the high ceilings, the place is quite new, with a new kitchen, parking place, modern bathroom, good insulation, large windows. Only concern is the layout is not suiting families with kids or couples planning for kids whereas the house is located in a neighbourhood were people generally move to to have kids.

The price of the property per square meter is lower than neighbouring houses due to this uniqueness, yet still quite expensive for an average couple. People with a budget for such house would generally also be ready to start a family.

Should I be concerned ?

Any advice is appreciated!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
