What's your favorite type of house/apartment/living space?

I’d like to have a high tech bedroom like this

with a bathtub like this one:

I have a weird tic. What I think I like and what I actually like are two different things. I think I like tiny, cozy cottages, but what I really like are wide open rooms with a lot of glass.

I have mine picked out 15 years to go…hopefully much sooner! The lake view is amazing!

It has to be somewhere with garden space.

Something that looks like a shack or cottage in the woods but inside is on the spartan side, very open with clean lines and smooth surfaces. I’d love to have one central room with an glassed ceiling portal to take in the nightskies, a fireplace and small outdoor back patio that has a deep bathtub for two plumbed in.

I love the look of your basic shingled capecod with big dormers and wrap around porches but I have arthritis and stairs are starting to get to me…so now I like single floor four squares with wrap around porches and peaked roofs like you might see in the caribbean. Floor to ceiling windows…double doors. And garden space to meander through all around the house. forget the fireplace….give me an outdoor fire pit…a hottub and a deep soaking tub with low full lenght shutter windows so I can look out on my garden and listen to the birds.

Depends what climate I am in. If it is a colder climate, I want a feeling of opennes, but areas or zones I can close off with beautiful sliding doors, so I can be toasty warm in the winter without heating the whole house. Ceilings that are not vaulted, but I like 10 foot ceilings with 8 foot or even taller doors. Nice kitchen, doesn’t have to be huge, that opens to a large great room. Also, a large screened in back patio. Every bedroom has a bathroom. Lastly, I would love to have a guest house.

If it is a warm climate, I still want the guest house. Very open floor plan, with minimum 10 foot ceilings, and taller in the entry way and main living spaces. Large covered patio and screened in pool with cabana bath.

I don’t care about having a formal living room. I don’t want tons of bedrooms, just three, so I will be able to sell it if I need to, otherwise two would be enough, and then the extra one in the guest house. If I had bunches of money I would add a ballet studio/aerobic room and gym.

If I lived in an apartment I would want it very modern, with a long terrace, and the building to have ammenities like pool and gym.

I have lived in shared housing, a commune, an apartment, with parents, and my own house. For me, owning my own house is, by far, the best solution to my housing issues.

I like owning my own house, with a comfortable “family” room, a well-designed kitchen, and plenty of closet space for the bedroom(s). I also thoroughly enjoy my garden, my workshop and my music studio. The garden, by definition, is always a work in progress, and the workshop and studio, less than by definition than by plan, are currently works in progress.

Other planned upgrades are: finished basement (possibly for “man-cave” type recreation area); kitchen upgrades (induction cooktop, convection/conventional oven); deck/patio with outdoor kitchen.
