What's your dream house?

About 3000 sf, two dedicated offices, away from each other and from the main living areas of the home, great kitchen with huge island and a ton of storage, walk-in pantry, butler's pantry, finished basement with secondary living space and ample storage, master suite and two smaller guest/kid suites. Lots of natural light. Large covered patio/deck. On a few acres - more than 1, less than 10.

ETA: LOL I was thinking about reality dream, not dream dream. Now I feel boring

Some kind of craftsman style house on the beach.

This is mine. I love every single thing about this house.

I want big bathrooms (ours are so small, I can lock the door and start the shower at the same time, all from my perch on the loo).

A big kitchen with lots of counter space. One can never have enough counter space for cooking.

STORAGE. I want walk-in closets and pantries and coat closets that hold more than three coats.

Last but not least, I would love a huge, wrap-around porch. With rocking chairs and porch swings and painted tables to play checkers on. Like they have outside Cracker Barrel.

I want my retirement home to have a first floor master, a first floor laundry and a coat closet. A soaking tub sounds perfect.

I would love a screened in porch & a deck and an attached garage.

My current house is small, 1,500 sf, and lacks my entire wish list, except the deck. But it is well built, from 1938, and has nice woodwork, 6 over 1 wavy paned glass windows and hardwood floors.

Plus as of last month, it is completely ours, no mortgage!

My dream house used to be ultra traditional or a cottage - but now I think it’s a sleek 50s (mid century modern) modern house with a deck and an ocean view. A cottage on the beach would be nice too.

I’m not really into big houses. 3 bedrooms is fine - but a view of water and a beautiful garden would be a must.

This one is pretty darn close, including the Ely, MN location. www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/13192-Eagle-Point-Rd_Ely_MN_55731_M72775-06698#photo23

Brand new, 1/4 acre lot with a lake or something in the backyard to give us privacy but that we would not have to maintain.

Our current house is 30 years old, dated, everything is breaking or has been replaced/fixed.

We have an acre lot which may not be huge but it is a major PIA to take care of.

We are in the south and grass grows 10+ months per year and the weeds never stop growing.

I'm always outside pulling weeds, trimming shrubs, etc.  It is never ending and I'm so sick and tired of it.

We have a library that I would move into if allowed. It’s built in the Craftsman style but with sculptured blocks. I feel so comfortable there. The flooring is a type of vinyl or linoleum that is really cool. It’s had custom designs made in it and it seems really easy to maintain. It doesn’t look like Granny’s flooring, but rather somewhat flexible. I think it might be a good choice if you had family members you were concerned would fall easily.

I want a single floor home that is wheelchair accessible for my mom and DH’s future problems. At least 4 bedrooms, preferably with a bathroom for each bedroom. My bathroom would have a wet area that connected the shower and a Japanese style soaking tub. The kitchen would adjoin a sitting area so my family could be close while I cook. There would be one big room for TV and DH’s computers, as well as a den/office where we could go when we needed privacy for calls or business.

I’d like a greenhouse built onto the house, so I could be close in case someone needed me, but far enough apart from them that I could talk to my plants without my family answering or getting jealous. A screened in porch with an outside space for my grill and smoker. A garden at least as big as what I have now, but better kept. LOL. Trees, lots of trees, but far away not to interfere with our solar panels. Maybe an orchard...

I love windows and light, but I want the good windows, triple paned and double hung with good screens. I love our attic fan, so one of those would be nice, too. No carpet! Too many allergies here.

I may have given this some thought. LOL

Same here

On the beach. Big kitchen. Rooms for family to visit. Porch with ocean view.

Mine with be something with a view. I would LOVE something with floor to ceiling windows overlooking a lake or water. The rest would be negotiable, think I could live in a shack if I had that view, lol.

Holy crap - 23 million! It is gorgeous though.

I actually love my house.

But, if I am dreaming, a one level with an ocean view would be it.
