What Would Your Dream Home Be?

submitted by CJLez from self.Lesbians

Some of the answers on the 'three wishes' thread got me wondering what people's dream home would be.

Imagine that your money and circumstances are totally unlimited would you go for...

A stylish super modern penthouse right in the centre of a city? An artsy downtown loft? Rustic cottage? Isolated farm? Small European villa? A three bed detatched in the subburbs? An underwater pod? A private suite in a five star hotel? Private room on a cruise ship year round? Say 'screw homes' and take your unlimited money and circumstances and just travel the world? None of the above?

For where I am in life at the moment I'd go for a large and modern flat a 10 minute walk from the city centre. If I settle down with someone I'd love two or three bed house on the outskirts of a small market town that was around a 15-20 minute bus or train ride from the city centre. Somewhere with front and back gardens that I could make beautiful and just sit in and listen to birds and watch the stars.

I want small island in humid but not super hot climate, which is not too far from roads, for me and my future wife! So no one can interfere, but we can easily go to some cities not too far if we want to.

Having a home is a dream at this point but... I would like a garden a lot. An extra room for a studio/office might be nice. All one floor, preferably not ground level but with easy access. Built in cabinets. Good lighting. Nature nearby, some privacy, but near amenities. Oh and having a mailbox and getting delivery direct to the house. That’s some sweet shit right there. I would like 2 dishwashers instead of 2 ovens, lol.

If money were no object, a townhouse in a major city like New York, London, or Paris with a small yard, home theater, and a gym. With crown moulding, lots of windows, an accessible roof, exposed brick, built in bookcases, and lots of houseplants that never die. My home aesthetic seems to be comfy so there would be lots of couches and pillows and throw blankets. I like places that looked lived in with lots of personal touches and things like books and movies on display.

I've seen apartments online that are the inside of a clocktower. I think that would be neat too.

A modern farm house in a beautiful valley surrounded by nothing but wheat and hay fields. And thanks to my wife’s super awesome bookkeeping skills we are living in it! Drinking coffee on the front porch every morning doesn’t ever get old https://imgur.com/a/4lZBkPY

A two-bedroom cabin with a few acres, either on a river or a lake, within a half hour driving distance of a large town or small city. Enough land where I can put up my own greenhouse.

A greenhouse would be really cool. Looking at my pinterest aspirational home board, I have tons of greenhouses and greenhouse-like rooms pinned.

I've also seen people online designing their own backyard observatories that i think would be crazy cool to have.

Either: house by the ocean, warm climate, semi-rural but able to drive to civilisation without too much issue. Or, slightly further inland close to mountains, beach still fairly close, say within 30 mins, but a bigger plot of land, like, small acreage size. Still semi-rural.

A semi-detached home or half of a duplex in an urban area, with a small, easy-to-manage yard to have a little garden in, a parking space, and easy access to amenities.

The location is a green, forested, mountainous and cold place. Fog drifts in regularly. The is old and strange with some sort of historical significance.
