One must have feature in your dream home

[irishsara]

What is the one thing you would love in your dream home?

For example; huge pantry? His and hers closets? Butlers pantry? Laundry on second floor? Fireplace in the master?

One splurge. What would it be?

[fusion]

a laundry ROOM, not a hallway
equally tied with a 3 car garage

The one thing that I would love in our house (and that we will never be able to have - sob) is an amazing mudroom. I saw one in Park City that I still dream about - it included little heater/drier things to put your boots on. Yes, please!  But really, any type of mudroom would be amazing. I hate the coats and boots everywhere.

A faucet over the stove for filling up pots.

[EmmieB1025]

Lots of kitchen storage -- either a huge walk-in pantry or lots of cabinets.

[lolaburns]

I want the kids bedrooms upstairs. If we found a home in budget with a huge landing area upstairs with common space/ desk areas/ playroom potential I would be SO ecstatic.

[honeybee503]

A kitchen island.

[TrudyCampbell]

MUST HAVE at least one fireplace. A fireplace in the master would be a major dream.

But my ultimate dream is a giant soaking tub in my master bath.

[laurensmomma]

A splurge would be heated bathroom floors.

[dojo]

My must have feature is a kitchen with tons of cupboard space that is designed for use. My splurge would be a butlers pantry. I have way too many kitchen things and they line shelf after shelf in my basement.

[sunshineluv]

Must haves: dual sinks in master bath, large bathtub in master bath, kitchen island, and a garage

I have a friend whose closet has a door to the laundry room, that would be handy!

One of the many things I love about our new house, is we have tons of closet space... TONS... It's really helpful for an unorganized person like me.

[imimahoney]

Space and storage. Also a ridiculous mud room.

[devonpow]

oh I forgot another dream - a laundry chute. I've always wanted one.

[AndyCohen]

I have been spoiled by a giant soaking tub in our master. H and I can take baths together and we've even done several baths with us and both girls. I will never be able to live somewhere without a soaking tub now.

[monkeybabe]

I have few. A pantry, because we have so little storage, double ovens, and a gas stove. Apparently the kitchen is most important to me in my dream house, lol.

[eav2c]

Laundry chute and built in vacuum (I don't know what they are called? But they are in the wall). I also would really love a sunroom.

[devotchka]

An open layout with tons of light. Our kitchen shares a wall w/ the living room and I never realized how much I'd like an open layout until we bought this house. I get it now! Our place has a decent amt of light but I would love bigger windows throughout too. A pantry would be awesome too. So basically a totally brand new kitchen

[ktstorm]

must haves: kitchen with island, tons of counterspace and cabinets, laundry room/hall with a sink, and a 2 car-garage.

[PatBenatar]

This is so hard, since there's so many things I want. I would love a big open kitchen/dining area with lots of room for entertaining.

[alicia45]

Double ovens! Every time we have company I long for a double oven. I want one so bad!

[silverjm]

#1 was a mudroom for us.

Also high on our list:
-Master suite with walk in closet, dual sinks, and walk in shower
-kitchen island
-first floor laundry

Awesome splurge: we have a laundry pass-thru from our master bath into the laundry room.

[irishsara]

I saw recently a little door from the garage straight into the kitchen pantry. I've decided I need one. So you can just stick bags of groceries directly into the pantry!

[bean47]

I'm torn between a mud room and a large pantry!

[earlybird]

Open layouts and good floorplans were things that we looked for when house-hunting. Other than that, I wasn't too picky. Must-haves for my H, however, included:

- a garage and driveway
- dual sinks in the master bath
- plenty of storage space

I would love to have a mudroom or some other space where coats and shoes could be kept out of sight, but those aren't very common in this area.


ETA: The solar panels post reminded me: If I were building a home or doing an extensive remodel, the house would have a grey water recycling system and solar panels.

[katie]

There are so many things! I really want nice floors. Our floors suck and don't match, we never did anything with them when we moved in. Also a nice kitchen.

[ninjabridemom]

Just one?!

A big kitchen with a big, useful island.








The house also has to have room for a farm table. But I supposed I could knock down a wall if I needed to lol.

[ladydi]

It's hard to choose. Things we don't have in our current house that I would love to have in the next one: upstairs laundry room, linen closet in the master bath, three car garage.

NO CARPET

I refuse to live with carpet. 

I wish our house was one story for this reason! But tile stairs would not work with kids.

[bebeetmoi]

Open layout. A pool with a great outdoor space (part covered, part in the sun).
After living in small & old apartments for so long, I'm spoiled rotten by our home and all the amenities. I'll never now be able to go without!

2 dishwashers - one for meat and one for dairy (for kosher purposes)
