What sold me on my current house was the backyard. It backs up to a creek with a nicely wooded area along it. That means no "backyard" neighbors. When I stepped out on that wooden deck and saw the cherry trees in bloom with the ducks in the creek, it was so peaceful and quiet that I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere. All the houses around me were well kept up also. People take care of their property here. I was also drawn to the family room, large, windows/doorwall on three walls, including a bay window that overlooks the beautiful backyard. I didn't realize until I was drawing out the floor plan for a friend that the house has almost the exact floor plan of the house I grew up in. I guess I felt "at home" right away because of that.
