Lets play a game! Show your dream house

louisvillebride21 · April 2010

What does your dream house have? Where is it? Try to find a listing that has everything you want.

Now, this house isn't in my dream location (that would probably be at the base of the Rockies), but its my dream house where we'll probably end up.

It has an amazing outdoor entertaining area, a kitchen that makes my heart go pitter-pat, a huge garage for FI, and lots of room to grow. The ONLY thing I can find to change about this house is the furniture. And at the basement price of $2.1 mill, who can resist?? Please look through the pictures and drool with me.

WEELLLL, I want to be in a larger log cabin, but with a modern inside, on a golf course AND on a lake. Think something like that exists?

louisvillebride21 · April 2010

Can't you build your own? Just find a piece of land with a lake already on it, build your house and make your back yard your very own golf course. Problem solved!

Right now...

Keep in mind I drew these when I was like..15? 16?

I'll take this one, please: http://www.austinhomesearch.com/Search/Details.aspx?li=169174&or=1&cp=1#

It has a panoramic view of Austin, is in the best school district, and is within a few miles of my mom (free future childcare).

Something old. Old on the outside. New on the inside.

Like this.

Kati0105 · April 2010

Roxy, that reminds me of Clue.

I love love LOVE the old Beacon Hill mansions. I'd take any of them!

louisvillebride21 · April 2010

Holy crap, CS! That room looking into the pool is amazing. It would be your very own compund!

louisvillebride21 · April 2010

Um...Roxy? That's actually pretty cool!

kkchisholm · April 2010

There has to be open concept, with lots of green grass, and big bloulders way out back for climbing! Oh and lots of windows and cathedral ceilings.

I can't think of the type of home it is... so I can't find an outisde picture right now... I will be back with one.

eta-something like this:

But not as big. AND I want both the mountains and the ocean.

Ooh you reminded me - I also wouldn't mind owning one of the Newport mansions. I remember we always used to drive by and gape at them when I was a kid.

louisvillebride21 · April 2010

So...apparently, I'm not dreaming big enough! Although, I have to say, I can't imagine ever needing or wanting to clean more than 6 bedrooms. And wtf is up with 2 master suites?

cac847 · April 2010

I'm pretty sure if you can afford a 7 bedroom house you can afford a cleaning lady :)

louisvillebride21 · April 2010

Oh, that's SO pretty, cac!

This house, built on a decent sized lot with mature trees. Probably add a third garage stall and not do the back bay window. Pull the guest room outside wall out a bit. Do a few tweeks, but this one has been on my mind for a few years.

Now I just need to talk FI into going along with the new build idea...someday...

Bellini-- My FI grew up in Gloucester! I know exactly where that is!

It's a beautiful area!

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · April 2010

Well, I want a federal style house in Massachusetts with a huge library with a fireplace. Good luck affording one... I'd love to live in Concord, but the houses I want are like 3-4 million bucks.

I like these:

Oh, and I also need a master bath. No sharing with kids! And I'd love to build a semi-attached green house to grow veggies in winter.
