RavensTillIDie Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 My dream home, which I do plan to own one day, is one where I can park 4-5 cars comfortably without any issues and no one has move their car to take another car out. That would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Nothing too big or outlandish because i don't want to deal with the maintenance. If the house requires a 50 ton chilling unit for the HVAC, it's probably too big. So realistically, something in the 2000-2500 sq ft range, with a finished basement. An office somewhere in the house. Master suite should have a full bath. Laundry room. Big kitchen with eat in dining for 15-20 people (don't care for formal dining areas). In addition to the house, 2-3 acres with a large pole barn. Pole barn should be well insulated and heated, with high ceilings. Half court basketball area, with a separate area for my woodworking shop (maybe like 40x50'?). I'm nearly there at my current residence. House is just a little small. Have the acreage i want, and the pole barn is about what i described, just not tall enough for a basketball hoop..

Dome Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I like @THE DUKE's idea of having a whole complex... Big Cabin on a Lake Kitchen stocked strictly with smoked meats, beer and liquor. Short Hike to my private mountain lookout. Also on site: Boat house with a bass boat for fishing on the lake Shooting range Paintball/motocross course Recording studio/home theater/bar/lounge area, separate building on the property. Huge greenhouse/garden Few hundred acres for game management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crickett Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 House is preferably in the suburbs outside of a major metropolitan city. Decent sized kitchen Dining room Giant living room. Large enough that my television can be a projector screen should I so decide to go that route. In the background of the room is an Avatar pinball machine. Four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a third half bathroom. A home office/dedicated computer room. At least two PC's, two printers (one color, one b&w), a scanner, a shredder, and a fax machine. A dedicated home gym A two car garage. A small laundry room with a washer/dryer combination and a table to fold things. A room with a hot tub, a 3d television and a 3d blu-ray player. A dedicated room painted as a giant glow in the dark mural to Pandora (the planet from Avatar) at night. The only things in the room are series of small lights on the outer area of the ceilings in the room (so I don't have to see them when I look directly up), a light switch, a hammock and a very small speaker that either plays either the Avatar soundtrack or the song used on the avatar movie website on a loop. And a second switch that allows me to alternate between either of them or no music and allows me to adjust the volume. A ten acre backyard with just forest behind that backyard. Rooftop solar panels/backyard solar panels and a home energy storage device (stored above ground). Because if I'm going to have a dream house, I'm not paying for electricity and I'm going to be able to grant shelter to any family members who need somewhere to stay that contains refrigeration during a hypothetical blackout. Looking at you summer of 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarcerated_Scarface Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 My dream house is mine right now except that there is no mortgage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm torn between two extremes. 1)A totally modern downtown penthouse. Gimme some exposed concrete and brick. Overlooking the harbour, Halifax NS. or... 2)A ranch in the south upper Arrow Lakes area in BC. With a nice, but not overly cushy tractor to drive around. I guess i don't really care that much about the specifics. Those i can work on. It's location, location, location for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
