My first house - 1968 - was one that was newly built.  I had the
opportunity to run a 50A 240V feeder from a breaker on the main panel to
a sub-panel in what was my ham shack after I did the load calculation to
ensure that the main had the capacity to serve the sub-panel as per
code.  Installed dedicated 120V and 240V branches with quality
receptacles.  We stayed there 9 years until we needed a larger place,
but I never was able to do that again.
