We're just trying to be realistic

The other night- after a Sunday spent looking at houses- M and I put together a list of what we would want in a house.  Of course I had to share.


Priorities:
3+ bedrooms (2+ upstairs)
2+ bathrooms (1+ upstairs)
full basement with separate entry for rentable apartment
has NOT been fully renovated or flipped
back yard (or yard generally) large enough for garden
good bones (not more than 100k in renovations needed)
brick or wood exterior (not asbestos or vinyl siding)
front or back porch (covered)

Pluses:
1+ Fireplace
detached garage/workshop
basement with bath & kitchen included already
detached single family home
original wood floors in good condition
second story porch
central air
large master bath
Jacuzzi out back
Wine cellar
Sauna
55 bedrooms
indoor water slide
horse
original maid and butler
dungeon
trap doors
library
money bin
treasure (preferably enough to cover the rest of the cost of the house)
chapel and chaplain
brewery
distillery
smokehouse
tobacco curing shack
teepee

Let's be honest here: the original maid and butler are non-negotiable, people.  And I'm hoping that I'll finally, FINALLY, get to actually keep a horse at my house, like I used to beg my parents for.

  1. Where will the teepee go if the garden is taking up the yard?

  2. who are you putting in the dungeon? Hope that's not the guest house...

  3. You know, I always wondered if those cool houses on Capitol Hill with cylinder, castle-like towers at the corners have most of the amenities you mentioned.

    Also, would the money bin include a diving board?

  4. In true Duck Tales fashion, of course.
