Well, it depends. My frivolous fantasy dream house would be a big, gothic type castle straight out of Dracula. It would be very dark and cavernous, with ornate wall sconces and candlelight, vaults and a dungeon. Upstairs there would be turrets and long winding corridors.....
Anyway my "practical" dream house, that we actually are planning to build, is a big stone and cedar two-story, not a colonial exactly...it isn't just a flat-front but has lots of peaks. It has 5 bedrooms, including a 1st-floor master suite with his-&-hers walk-in closets and a huge bath with a sunken jacuzzi tub and dual sinks/vanities. On the first floor there would also be a formal living room, formal dining room, a library/den with lots of built-in desks and cabinets/shelves, a sunken family room with 60" tv and a BOSE whole-house system, a gigantic skylit kitchen with eat-in area, a half bath, and a 1st floor laundry/mud room. We want a 4-car garage and a finished basement with rec room/bar, workout room and utility room. We want a big, multi-level deck with a hot tub and beyond, a fenced-in yard with an in-ground pool. On the second floor we want 4 bedrooms...one for our daughter with a walk-in closet and a private bath, one for our son with a big closet and another private bath, and then two more bedrooms for guests/any future children connected by another full bath. I want to take the time to decorate everything right....I want wallpaper and borders everywhere, I want ceramic tile in the kitchen and baths and pergo wood flooring all through the first floor with gorgeous throw rugs...
