What is the one feature you wish your home had that is doesn't have?

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Results

I work with buyers in both new construction and resale homes and buyers always have a list of things they want in that next home. On new construction I try and have buyers focus in the things that are too expensive or difficult to add later. As for my own home, I wish sometimes it had a full bathroom on the main level. I was just in a model home that has a central vacuum system. This home has the built in port in the toe-kick of the kitchen island. Just sweep the crumbs in front of it, flip the lever with your foot and swoosh, its gone. That would certainly give our dog some competition.

What feature do you wish your home had?

I really wish I had a dual sided fireplace in my bedroom and master bath.  It would just add so much and help me with stress relief.

I had wanted the central vac thing.  I thought the idea of never having to use a dust pan again was too cool.

I would love a large family room -- ours is just not quite big enough to have people over to watch a movie or a game on TV.

Richard, Thanks for visiting my blog about the Alt Key.  I do visit your area now and then and conduct classes, hope to see you in one someday.

You want me to narrow it down to just ONE feature?? Yikes, that is hard.  but I am guessing a bathtub in my master bath, preferablly jetted.  The only bathtub in our house (and we have 3 baths) is in the kids bathroom, and having teen aged boys, that is just not a relaxing place to go, as I would have to clean it first!!

I wish I had a room that would make my wife happy so she would not be so busy thinking about trying to move one of these days. I like my place.
