If money were no object, which posh amenities would be on your wish list?
These are some of the things that Jim and I have always talked about including in our dream home. They would definitely be on our list:
- Radiant heat flooring – Jim scoffs at the idea and says, “Who needs it? It’s too expensive.” (In the winter, he’ll thank me for it!)
- Dog-friendly bath space – I’ve always longed for a dog tub & shower system for large dogs. Ideally, it would have low steps or a ramp for the dog’s ease of entry and to save my back from having to lift him into the bathtub; plus shower walls or a unique shower curtain to keep me dry when the dog shakes repeatedly during bathing.
- Wall of windows (Even better: an entire room or an entire floor with windows from the floor to the ceiling) – If we are unable to pull that off, then I’d settle for a tiny room filled with windows! In my opinion, a home can never have too much natural light.
- An elevator or a dumbwaiter – It’s best to plan for something like this early in the building process. However, it is possible to incorporate a DIY dumbwaiter into your current home for around $300.
