Name some things you would want in your dream home

**Sara Noel** · 03-19-2002, 09:50 PM

I want land. Lots and lots of land. I am not picky about the interior, but would like a finished basement and lots of storage space. Not a very fancy dreamer eh? *LOL*

Since I'm dreaming, I am not going to be practical or frugal:

-French doors
-huge deck overlooking a koi pond
-inground/indoor pool w/jacuzzi
-solarium
-gazebo
-double sink in bathroom so dh and I can get ready at the same time
-huge widescreen tv with surround sound
-state of the art kitchen with green marble countertops
-huge sewing/quilting/craft room
-a maid to clean all of this cool stuff!

I think that's it for now...I'm sure I'll think of more!

In the kithchen: an apron sink, a center island, a butler's pantry, lots of storage, appliances that blend into the cabinets, and a breakfast nook

In the master bath (although I want at least 3): a jacuzzi tub with separate shower, two sinks, and a built in heater

Throughout the house: a mudroom, a fireplace, lots of natural woodwork, and full size closets

and a front porch with columns.

I got most of what I wanted when we bought our house, on a small scale of course. I would like a larger kitchen, I love the European style kitchens-think Tuscany. We will be adding an addition to our house in 2 years which will put in the fireplace I want and we are currently finishing the attic for studio space. Dh promised me a juccuzi, so hopefully this summer we will get one for the yard, and when we build I will get my jacuzzi tub.

if its not to greedy, i want all of the above, and an abundant veggie garden.

We are saving for our dream home right now. Hopefully we will be able to afford one next year. Anyway here is my list.

Land
Large Kitchen with pantry
Sun room (probably will be added on later)
seperate dining room (not a "great room")
Large closets
lots of storage
2 bathrooms (minimum)
sewing room
Large deck (another build on later thing)

More bedrooms (we have 2)
JACUZZI!!
More closets
Finished basement
Breakfast nook surrounded with windows
Gas fireplace
Screened in back porch
Bigger kitchen
Big fenced in yard
Satellite dish/big screen tv
Just a bigger house in general would be just fine!

We bought our house in Oct 2001....and it has sooooo much of what we wanted in a house.....on a smaller scale...lol..

I got my big back yard, fireplace, wood floors, 2 bathrooms, front porch and lots of room.....We love it!!

But, if I could have ANYTHING I wanted it would definitly be lots and lots and lots of land!!! Oh, and a jucuzzi and for it ALL be paid for......lol

**NaEnaMilo** · 03-24-2002, 12:47 PM

Dreams... a huge old house with lots of character but none of the inconveniences of old houses (drafts, poor insulation, roof falling on your head ...), a big kitchen with a walk - in pantry, six bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool, a hot tub, lots of land, great lake view (wait, this is a dream, right? my OWN lake

) and a home office with huge windows overlooking the lake.
And the whole thing would be self-cleaning, of course.

Realistic dreams (I'm in the process of building - designing at the moment- a home) : a fireplace, an attic bedroom, 3 bathrooms, a master suite with walk-in closets, underground garage, and a home office (but no lake to look at

).

**KathiS** · 03-25-2002, 02:56 AM

I too would want my dream house on lots of land. I would like a big front porch, a sunroom, at least four bedrooms, And lots of storage. My dream house would also be a new Victorian. A house built to look old but, without the problems. A big brick fireplace would be wonderful. A big kitchen with a pantry would be fantastic! Lots of windows looking out over open land would be really special. Now if I just had the million dollars to pay for the place!!!

**COUNTRYBUMPKIN** · 03-25-2002, 10:24 AM

I want a small log home with an open floor plan. I want a jaccuzi and a chef's kitchen(chef to go along with it) LMAO. I want maid service on a weekly basis and I want lots of land and horses and stables. I want to look out my french doors and see the mountains and a river flowing through my property. I want the great room to be all white furniture, big overstuffes stuff with a huge chaise lounge for 2, so that dh and I could sit there together and play footsies with each other! ROFL
