Future Dream Home

Do you already have a vision of your dream home, or are you already living in it? If you haven't moved into it yet, now is a great time to take note of the things you would like to have in your future home.

If you have plans to buy another property (or two) as you move towards your eventual dream home, now may be the best time to make a list of your wants, needs and must haves in your future homes. If you take the time now to start these lists, it can make future decision making easier. More importantly, without a list, how will you know when you have found the right house?

I separate the list into the three categories, as some options are non-negotiable and become must haves. These could range from a walk in closet, to a requirement for four bedrooms or even a kitchen island. Then there are needs, like a gas stove, guest room(s) or possibly a finished basement. Finally, there are the wants. These could be things like multi-headed ensuite shower, theatre rooms or even triple garages.

There are no hard and fast rules for any of these categories and what may be a want for one family is a must have for another. Also, many wants and needs may be added to the property later. In the case of a gas stove or a finished basement, it could be the matter of just spending more after you have purchased your home and budgeting for the expense. However, it can be much harder to add a walk in closet or triple garage to a property, so be sure to distinguish how important items are for you.

To add to your list of items you are looking for in your home, you may also want to include a list of items that rule a house unacceptable to you. Obvious ones are less than three bedrooms if you are a family of four, but less obvious issues may include a single sink in the ensuite or perhaps a laundry room on the upper level of the home. Perhaps the direction the backyard faces would render a property unacceptable to you

Beautiful Dream Home Plans

In this economy when there is a glut of houses on the market, you may still have trouble finding that perfect home. Your choice of home can expand even further beyond what is physically on the market through your choice of home plans available on the web. You go from limited lists of homes on the market in your area to a seemingly infinite number of choices in the virtual world.

Most people don't get the opportunity to pick both the location of their home and the home itself. Normally, the two are connected and impossible to separate. By using home plans, you open up your search to any piece of land large enough to satisfy your needs. You can pick land that is isolated or set within an urban location. You can choose land on a flat parcel or along a gently sloping mountain. The opportunities are endless and most people don't even consider this fantastic option.

The computer is your most powerful tool when it comes to custom home building. You can sit at home and peruse hundreds of possibilities of complete house plans instantly available to you online. All for reasonable cost and with the level of detail you need. Working with a builder is much easier and more efficient when you have the electrical, plumbing and various other options prepared in one package.

It's easy to imagine a three bedroom home with three bathrooms. You can add a large kitchen with a huge center island and sink. Add the built in appliances and multiple sinks in the counters so the kitchen is of chef's quality. Each bathroom can have dual basins, a large whirlpool tub and skylights. Add loads of cabinets, heated floors and glass block to create a luxury feel. The living room can have vaulted ceilings and a semi-circular shape. Create an entry way that commands the same attention as the house itself. The property can be expansive with a large rectangular swimming pool complete with piled rock waterfall. If you think you've reached your limit, you can easily expand your search to a larger property, more bedrooms, additional bathrooms or even seek an alternate layout altogether.

Obviously, everyone isn't searching for a traditional house. There are also log home plans available to create the ultimate first or second home. Apply the same freedom of land choice to your vacation home. Shopping for a log home can be difficult especially given the smaller field of choices. Selecting your own land coupled with your own beautiful log home plan can result in the ultimate vacation paradise.
