No real style. I would like all tile and wood floors (have that now and love it), a bit bigger than what I currently have, a large unfinished basement I could build a man cave in and sitting on at least an acre. That would be about the only move I plan to make in the future. If I don't find something like that I'll stick with what I have even though it needs some overhauling.

I have never once thought about a house I would buy in the future. Which I guess means house style means very little to me compared to house setup (room size, bathrooms etc.)

I would love to live in a castle, though. Hard to heat, so it'd have to be like Winterfell, built on a hotsprings

To be serious...it's hard to find an ideal house when everything made is the cookie-cutter style suburban sprawl.

Right now, I'm aiming to get a nice simple 2bd/2br condo by year's end. They've gone down big time in price...and the lower mortgage payment I'm sure I'd have over my current rent would be nice. happy

I can't really nail down a style. I know what I like. I like hardwood floors, and I despise carpet. Cherry cabinets. Granite countertops. Wine cellar. Wet bar. Large, covered deck for entertaining. 5 or more acres, with the majority wooded. Multi-car garage.

This isn't bad: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/42010-SE-149th-Pl-North-Bend-WA-98045/49105328_zpid/

This would be great simply for the lulz: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/Allan-Is-Anacortes-WA-98221/2122175341_zpid/

Of course, even I'm not this rich plain

I am pretty happy with my house in Hawaii it made the front page of the home section when it was built in the '60's.

What I would like is a one story house a U shape with the open U being a courtyard facing the ocean and it being nesteld into a hill with the back of the U against the earth.

I already have some designs sketched but at my age now my next move will probably be to a condo near the bars of Honolulu, or out to Chang Mai Thailand, if I retire early, w/out a significant other.

One where my neighbors aren't 20 feet away - on 2 sides. I'd have neighbors on 3 sides if I didn't have a corner lot.

We *had* our dream home, just outside Colorado Springs: 3987 sq ft on 27000 sq ft of land. Plenty of room for everyone, a specific room for everything...*sigh*... I wouldn't mind living in the home
I grew up in either -- sitting on the high spot on the property, 5 acres, stream in the back, pond for irrigation, blackberry bushes along the stream. Never truly appreciated that home until after I realized how awesome it was to not be packed in like sardines.

That is the famous Fallingwater house designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It was recently worked on (1988) due to age and the amount of humidity in the house. Most people consider Wright as the best architect in the US.

I always thought this was pretty sweet:
http://www.snopes.com/photos/architecture/tigerwoods.asp



In reality I'll probably end up aiming for something relatively small and easy to maintain. I just want a big kitchen and an office for myself. Other than that, I care more about having a large amount of land and building a brew shack and runway/hangar on it. Probably end up with a ranch or vineyard to make the land productive and more reasonable to own...

something like this would be nice:



I'd love a modern 2BR 2BA apartment close to public transportation (I'd prefer not to own a car). Maybe one day when I've got an empty nest, I can see whether I can talk my husband into it, but I don't think he'd be down with that.

If it's a dream house it would have a large dining hall with painted ceilings (sort castle like) and a large indoor pool with a retractable ceiling.

Bathrooms would be large and all stone/tile.. completely waterproofed.
