What's your dream house and why? Are you currently living there? Are your plans realistic?

At this point in my life the apartment is pretty okay but eventually I want to live on a self sufficient farm/orchard up in the mountains. I'd say my dream is pretty realistic and easily obtainable.

My ideal home? If money is no issue, I have a few in mind.

I'd like to someday live in a penthouse. The thought of being able to see the entire city at night and live/sleep above everybody else is pretty cool to me. Of course, this is quite the typical dream and I probably won't be able to obtain this dream unless I become an overachiever.

I also would like to reside in a two-storey bungalow complete with my own garage and backyard. It doesn't have to look rich or elaborate, just something modern and functional. In my opinion, these type of houses are the best to raise a family in. Quiet, spacious and sufficient, although expensive.

That ends my list of houses for now. Maybe next time I'll list some of the cheaper and more realistic houses.

In the UK, a bungalow means a house with only one storey..the ground level floor. Is a two storey one with a basement, or am I missing something here? :P

Also, I'd like to live here: http://www.kingwest.co.uk/mkth1796-orlingbury-hall
Realistic? Yeah, I think so.. :P

Did I ever tell you Zero that over the years you've turned into one of the weirdest people I know? You're just so... out of this world, really :P

Really? In Malaysia/Singapore, houses like this (http://www.google.com.sg/search?tbm=isch&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=641&q=malaysia+bungalow&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&oq=malaysia+bungalow&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=0l0l0l925l0l0l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0) and this (http://www.google.com.sg/search?tbm=isch&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=641&q=malaysia+bungalow&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&oq=malaysia+bungalow&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=0l0l0l925l0l0l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0#hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&gbv=2&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=singapore+bungalow&pbx=1&oq=singapore+bungalow&aq=f&aqi=g3&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=257758l259244l0l259345l10l9l0l0l0l4l308l148 0l2.4.2.1l9l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=8c2094b0c9c15f63&biw=1280&bih=641) are considered bungalows. :heh: I guess it's different in other countries.

No he's just really deep and feely with a touch of dark angst mixed in there.

I would love to live in an authentic arts and crafts bungalow, something decrepit even so I can work on it.

They'd just be 'houses' to us. Bungalows here look like this (http://www.flanaganhomes.co.uk/media/images/CRW_0279-Eastward_Road-Bungalow.jpg). Theyre the sort of places old folks tend to live as they dont have any stairs.

Did I ever tell you Zero that over the years you've turned into one of the weirdest people I know? You're just so... out of this world, really :PI like being outside of this world, and inside this world... at the same time.

But you on the other hand, are still the same Dutch Prick I always knew. ;)

Why your aversion to personalization? Even the greatest of philosophers had friends.

Ah, I see. Thanks. :)

Why thank you. And then to think I used to believe we were getting along. What a fool was I. Maybe still am.

<_<

Gee, I was joking man. You've always been fine just the way you are. I don't require you to be any different.

Please stop it.

Angelic, you prick. You've been picking on me TOO MUCH these last few months. I'm tired of all your PMs filled with name-calling and badgering.

@Asuka: That is a lie and you know it.

@Zero: I should have known. I guess I wasn't thinking. Then again, am I ever? :think:

That part of you is what everyone finds charming.

Anyhow, I wrote about my dream ultra-minimalist home. Some of you haven't yet.

I want the opposite, a giant castle with my own personalised banners and all that stuff.

Zero's dream is a lot more realistic :(

I read 'personalised bananas'. I was excited, but then I realised :(

XD

Actually I'd like a farm or something, not actually with animals, just a nice house in the country, has to be big (I has lots of stuffs) and away from anything noisy.

Hmm, whenever I think of these things, I only need one thing. A room hidden behind a bookcase :P
It'll be a hidden gameroom/office thing inside my house

On the topic of houses, I'm more comfortable living in an apartment building. Therefore, my ideal would be a moderately apartment somewhere above the 3rd or 4th floor because I like being high up.

But yeah, secret bookcase room. If I have that, I'm happy 8D
And I'm completely serious about it, when I get my own place I'm building one

not entirely sure how it moved from being about your dream house to being about people's actions...
anyway, without thinking about money (or reality... :heh:), I'd like a castle close to a busy city with a beautiful hall at the entrance and enough space for large ensembles to play in...

In reality, I'd like to end up with enough money to have a relatively large place in a nice part of London.

Huh... My ideal home? I have two options I'm willing to choose from and be happy with.

I'm into those casual mansions and I really would like to build one in a peaceful place in Japan. Quite possibly a huge empty mass of land where you can see the sun and the moon clearly. If possible, I would probably hire some maids and butlers to do my casual chores. (Don't worry... I plan to treat them very well as if they're my friends.) Maybe a nice library full of books (and manga) to read next to the clear glass window when the sun sets... Nothing's more relaxing than being alone and staring out toward a nice scenery. I would totally live my life like that. :)

Or I could just stay in the United States and have a normal two story house. Nothing much to expect in the house except that it'll be big enough for a family or two to stay in there. :)

AWWWWW YEAH.

-I am not currently living there.
-I think my dream home is about 80% realistic, 20% rad.

^^^ YES

SORRY RD, I ALREADY CALLED DIBS. YOU CAN HAVE SNAKE MOUNTAIN! D:<
Snake Mountain is pretty rad too, so don't feel bad.

Can I built an arts and crafts bungalow on Snake Mountain?

As long as the bungalow is rad looking, I don't think it'll be a problem. =D

My dream house would be in the woods with an old, cabin-style design, although modern. There would be one large room as the main living room with a huge ceiling, and second floor balcony serving as the second floor connected to the first floor by ladders, with the main balcony as my bedroom overlooking the main living room (with a fireplace of course), with an optional sliding curtain for privacy. Oh, and a few small rooms on the first floor for others and bathrooms, etc. Of course, it would make a great one-person home, but not really for a family if you get my drift.

Something like this would be nice.

I like this kind of stuff. Minimal, compact and just... peaceful :3 Possibly decorated with some Oriental and Victorian elements would be nice as well.

However, I also like Zero's place...maybe a nice black Steinway would be the finishing touch xD

I just received word that my mortgage has been approved by the bank and I can get the key to my new house as soon as next monday :D

Congratulations. :)

I can't wait to see some photos of it (there will be photos.....right?) :)

Maybe, not sure yet :P

Tonight I'm picking up the keys to my new place :D
