Dream house.

[elwen]

This is my dream house.

Brand new, shiny, lots of natural light, lots of rooms (for books!), perfect location even.

Did I mention shiny?

In reality, it's probably way too big a house for my purposes and would be a pain in the butt to maintain. Then again, by the time I have enough money to afford the house, I'll probably have enough money to pay for housekeepers and such, too.

Looks like I'll be in big firm practice for the long haul...

*Drool* That house is awesome. I'm also one to look at pics of dream houses, although I tend to look for ones that I can almost imagine affording in the next few years, although that assumption is always quite a stretch...

it looks nice and retro but too "open" for my taste *would feel like people were looking in and less security*

Speaking of houses I'm searching for mine too *sigh*

Natural light is good for energy efficiency too. I wonder if they did any calculations to design the eaves such that the windows are shaded in summer and open to sunlight in winter. (We're doing that in my building efficiency course right now.)

A big house always sounds nice, but I think about it and I really don't need that much space. I'd be happy to be in a small house for all my life - more energy efficient!

Yeah, that's was my boyfriend's "on second thought" comment. But if you look carefully at the pictures, I think the front of the house is actually not that open -- it's just the sides and the back, and there are some big redwood trees surrounding it, so privacy might not be as big of an issue as it seems... Or I'm just engaging in wishful thinking.
