My husband Dale and i are hoping to buy a new home relatively soon. We currently live in a small 3BR/2Ba home in Auburn...Who knows where we'll live next, but of this I'm certain..it MUST have the following 13 features.
13. GARDEN TUB. Actually, I should have put this as number one on my list...but it came to mind first. I'm a soaker. I love nothing more than kicking back in the bathtub with candles lit and a good book. Oblivious to the rest of the world. That's living I say!
12. 4 Bedrooms and room for an office. That office can be another bedroom or it can be a living room...whatever. We have just got to get our office out of our immediate bedroom. Dale works from home and it's just too much to have him in here.
11. Dale a closet. Poor man is using the coat closet in miniscule hallway that we currently have. The man needs space in his own bedroom to get dressed.
10. A Master Shower. In our current bedroom, we have a garden tub...but it's still the world's smallest master bath! There's no room for a shower in there and we must use the kids bathroom and then traipse across the house to get dressed.
9. A large backyard..preferably fenced so that we can get a pooch. And so the kids can play ball etc. I dont want a postage stamp back yard.
8. A Pantry. I'm so tired of having to use my cabinets for food when i have so much other STUFF that could go in there.
7. A LARGE linen closet. We will have 3-4 beds...with 2-3 sets of sheets each....Then add towels for the 5-6 of us. I need SPACE.
6. At least 1800sf. I want it large enough that anyone can have some quiet time. I want space to turn around in without bumping into someone.
5. I want it to have a good school district that is NOT Title 1. Call me a snob. I dont care. When it comes to the kids schooling, I just feel they would get better educations at a school that has more money.
4. A room for laundry...not just a closet. Room to put the baskets down and still be able to shut the door to company.
3. Either a front porch or a back deck. Or Both. Currently I really dont have either. We sorta have a front porch, but it's hardly big enough for a bench. I want a place to relax and watch the kids.
2. A Rhompus Room. Did i spell that right? i dont know. But you know what i mean. A kid's play room where they can have the majority of their toys and shelves of their own and tv and bean bags chairs and I'll decorate it with framed game boards.
1. Room for all of us..for the kids to each have their own room and at least one extra room for company/friends/foster kids.
Am I asking for too much?

Perhaps we should just build a duplex cause each side would be almost exactly the same. Though I want more square footage, a laundry room upstarts and down or a laundry shoot, a dining room and an eat in kitchen and prewired for internet phone and gobs and gobs outlets. Oh how I hate hate hate not having enough outlets.
Have a great day

And easy to clean windows. The kind you can open and flip to the inside to clean.
