- private but not secluded
- within an hour from a rural landscape and an urban cityscape
- cozy, neither too big nor too small
- architecture:
- quaint white cottage with blue shutters
- Victorian style
- avant garde
- minimalistic and modern interior
- examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- It's not so much about being green, though that certainly is a nice payoff. I want to reduce clutter and have a home that is easy to clean. Controlling clutter will be a challenge because I am a packrat who:
- sees sentimental value in everything,
- thinks certain objects might be worth something someday,
- thinks I might need it later,
- thinks everything is cool.
- energy-efficient windows
- a wall completely made of windows overlooking a beautiful landscape
- smart thermostat
- a spiral staircase leading to an observatory
- an extensive library with a high ceiling and skylight, bookcases spanning from wall to wall
- no grass lawn
- Maintenance is a costly hassle.
- indoor pool
- a large, all-wood attic room
- only one television, no cable
- darkroom
