Dream House List

Ian wanted to start out our house hunt by making a list of features in our dream house. So here it is:

  • Central heat & air
  • Fenced backyard - nice wood, stone, or synthetic wood fence
  • Hardwood/Pergo floors throughout
  • Separate laundry room on main level
  • Two car attached garage
  • Shade tree in front and back yards
  • Hot tub
  • 3+ bedrooms, 1 1/2+ baths
  • Basement or den
  • Separate dining room
  • UGS with timer
  • Paved driveway
  • Sidewalks
  • Large deck in back
  • New appliances
  • New roof, new electrical, good plumbing
  • New paint, new carpet if applicable
  • New light fixtures
  • New cabinets
  • Good water pressure
  • Walking distance from elementary school
  • Walking distance from Kathy's house
I think that's it. Really, the big thing is that it be big enough for the family we want to have, and that the work that needs to be put into it be mostly cosmetic. We don't want to have to replace the roof the first winter we live there. Also, the house has to be in Richland. We want our kids to be in the Richland School District, so that's the long and short of it.

What was on YOUR dream house list when you were looking??

  1. ... I take it that moving 3,000 miles to the DC area is out of the question? Oh well...
