> I’d say 1200 sqft for 2br/2ba is a bit on the high side. I grew up in a 1950s suburban ranch with 3br and 1.5ba and it was 1050 sqft.

I wouldn’t say that’s high at all. I live in a house built in 1950 with 3BR/1BA and it’s a little over 1400. For two people, it’s really not that big considering the layout.
