You've just won the powerball...

[ECB]

I wouldn't move but I'd totally rehaul and update my house.

[alleinesein]

This house. I used to live 2 blocks away from it.

[v]

I'd only have to move three blocks:





streeteasy.com/building/165-charles-street-new_york/penthouse

$35m is a good deal for 4550 sq ft, right?

IT HAS WINE MASSAGE ROOM!!! 

[dragon's breath]

This one is a steal at around $668k.  I'd love to live in southern France.

I'd need something a little "Real Housewives" but nothing too crazy (in my school district) so I could afford places elsewhere.

[VillainV]

Ha. We'd probably pay off the one we have now. And make about 100K in improvements (it's a new house, but still, we could come up with 100K worth of stuff we would do to it).

Bo-ring.

[Marmee]

Ha! I've got a house I've been eyeing...It's a "modest" $4M.

PDQ: Extra plus, it's on my same street & 3 min away.

But if I really won, I'd move to a gated compound or remote house because people would be at your door asking for money otherwise.

[magdala]

Like  ECB, I would keep my current house and redo parts of the house and garden.    I would also want a house on the water on Cape Cod...something like this:  www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/house_type/2101290496_zpid/3-_beds/globalrelevanceex_sort/41.789744,-69.880257,41.476174,-70.491372_rect/10_zm/0_mm.

Do I have to stay nearby? If so- www.trulia.com/property/3205157247-24850-Deertrail-Dr-Bear-Valley-Springs-CA-93561. This is about an hour away but still pretty close and definitely in an area that I would love to live. I assume DH wouldn't need to work anymore so I wouldn't have to worry about living in the sticks a bit.

If I could live anywhere in the world- www.salemarbella.com/en/villa-elegance-golden-mile-sierra-blanca-marbella/

[gibbinator]

We wouldn't move, I love our location. But I'd totally buy more land (a couple acres maybe) off our neighbours and dh would finally get his attached garage built. We'd majorly renovate our house too of course, or demolish it and rebuild I suppose, though I'd hate to be so wasteful.

Eta: Ok so here's the beach house I'd buy. It's only 1.2 million lol.

[Deleted]

I think this thread presented me with my very first ever first world problem (even if it is a fantasy one).

All of these houses are too big for the two of us. Even if I pay for every possible household cleaning/maintenance service, we don't need a gigantic place.

So far I like @rennido's the best, although v's bathtub is to die for.

Here's what I came up with after a quick search: www.luxuryportfolio.com/Property/ann-arbor-properties-breathtaking-and-stunning-river-frontage-home/FFEW

[tealblue]

I looked for my lottery winning house the other day and didn't find anything I liked. I did find 15+ acres in a good area for less than $700k I think. So I would probably buy that since it's a good deal and I could build something. I'd really finish and expand our house renovations and stay where we are.

[crashgizmo]

We actually saw this one recently. A cool 7.6M but damn it's gorgeous!

I like the style of that house, except what's up w/ the step-ups into different areas of the home?

You're right, most of those stairs would have to go. I'd also need hardwood throughout and an indoor and outdoor pool

Not that I've been spending the past 2 days daydreaming and searching or anything.

[MNH2013]

If I lived in the city I really like Bill/Jens home from the little couple. www.tlc.com/tv-shows/little-couple/photos/bill-and-jen-new-home-reveal/
I would hire their builder instead of making them an offer

[Pom]

We'd buy a house on the Gulf coast of Florida or in the Florida Keys and a lakefront "cottage" in Michigan.




MNH2013
Yes! I do love the interior of their house. I've told Mr. P that I want to be their neighbors, LOL.

[macmars45]

All I know for sure is we'd sell our TH and buy a SFH with no split level entry.

[sporky]

I'd buy a piece of land and build to suit. DH would require plenty of garage space for his new car collection and I would have the largest, most amazing kitchen ever. Plus a wine cellar definitely. Everything else we'd have to figure out, lol.

[MNH2013]

Pom Hah I told H the same. I know what area they live but haven't creeped over there. We did get some dog treats from their pet store though.

[BeagleMama]

We'd need to buy in California (San Diego preferred over LA) so DH can work with his new thoroughbred training operation:

That French Castle is the winner. Now if I could win the jackpot!

[hamster]

I think I could make this one work.

[imojoebunny]

This one would be good, though the constant traffic would annoy me possibly. You can't beat the views. I would use the carriage house part for an artist in residence sort of program, so I could meet interesting people.

Or if that was too much,

[womet]

There is 150 acre plot near us that I would buy for $4M. Then I would build a house for us on it. And maybe one for my sister and one for my mom. Plenty of property to be close but not right next to each other.

I love that second one. It makes the first one seem like a good deal. I would have expected that first one to be a lot more expensive given the size and location. It would make a great inn or b & b.
