Top 10 Dream Home Features

If you were given a chance to design a dream home, what features would you choose first?  Of course all of us have different ideas of what should/would be part of our dream home creation.  I have included a picture of my Central Pennsylvania dream home located in Cottage Brook Community in Grantham/Mechanicsburg, PA. 

Take a look at the most popular wish list in 2011 from Nudura, a leading firm in building technology:

1. Curb appeal. Home exterior, driveway, and landscaping must attract admiring attention.

2. Concrete and natural stone, rather than wood framing and brick. These homes (nudura.com) are not only beautiful, they are stronger, more sound resistant, and far more energy efficient than wood frames and brick.

3. Maximum energDream Homey efficient throughout from top to bottom.

4. Solar panels in the roof to generate a personal energy source.

5. A large, designer kitchen with natural stone countertops and futuristic appliances, cabinetry and waterworks.

6. Natural hardwood flooring like Brazilian cherry and sustainable bamboo.

7. A sunroom, a front porch, and a backyard finished patio.

8. Vessel sinks, or freestanding bowls above the bathroom countertop, accompanied by wall-mounted faucets.

9. Bedroom walk out or balcony.

10. Designer bathtubs and walk-in shower with marble tile, a seating bench and rainfall shower head. Source: MetroCreativeConnection

Hi Joy -- I think curb appeal is first on my list --- great curb appeal invites you in or makes you want to get back in the car and speed away.   I wonder if there are regional differences in most wanted features of a "dream home"?   I would think so.

Hello Michael - you are busy today in AR! :)  I would definitely agree about regional differences - would you want solar panels in sunny CA?

Joy, I think you have a very good top 10 list.  I think I would want an ocean view.

I definitely want an ocean view! :)  I really would not care about the other 9 items if it had one of those!  Thanks Kathy.

Hi Joy, here in Florida the deck would be translated into a screened lanai and a swimming pool would feature somewhere on the list for most people.

ahhhhhh. . . that would be nice in a Florida climate. . . guess a fireplace isn't top of the list there! :)   My mom lives in Florida and would never give us the warmer weather.
