Neighbours minding their own business!!! My dream!!! Lolll :D Right now I own a duplex, wich means I have neighbours upstairs. My duplex is attached, wich means on the other side... 2 more neighbours... and there is another attached duplex on the other side... 3 more neighbours (they hide one in the basement mouhahahah!) and my backyard (quite large I must admit for living in the city... approx 1800sqft)... close to TWO houses! I have neighbours EVERYWHERE!!! They see EVERYTHING I DO! Arrrrrrrggggghhhh! I hate this! So, next house, this will be at the top of my list of course ;-) I grew up in suburbs, and the fact that you can't live without a car (if not 2) is annoying (to me). I lived in the city since my university years (should say party years in fact), and I really enjoyed being close to everything: transportation, little cafés and boutiques, open air market (I would prefer living close to the Marché Jean Talon but it was too expensive... so we bought elsewere). But when you live in the city, it is more expensive to own your house than when you live in the country... living in the suburbs is almost more expensive than in the city right now... Maybe next house we will opt to be far, far away ;-) lots of windows, open floor plan, master bath, walk-ins, lots of land to garden... and 2 cars, I think it will be hard not to do so... Hopefully, dreaming is still free :D I think I'll go watch HGTV (again) Ah! Neighbours minding their own business!!! My dream!!!

As long as its full of trees ;-) 8,000 sqft of lawn is more than enough ;-) I aconsider bvuilding my next home but I am still affraid of the size of the project! It would make a awesome series on my blog though ;-) @ One Day,

My home is what you would consider typical suburbia, however I'm within walking distance of the main shopping district of my city. If I had to pick a few things to change it would be to add a garage, and have a larger outside area. We have 7500 sq ft but a quarter acre to about 17500 sq feet I think would be ideal. My problem is that I wouldn't want to mow it, but that's where Eco Lawn comes in :) Why not build so that you get everything you want?

Let say: Must: Air conditioning (great for summer), Garage, Big windows, Garden (swimming pool if possible), at least 2 floors, location near to parents, friends and work!!!! Nice to have: Home Cinema, Fireplace, Open Area (perfect when receiving guest at home, kitchen and dining room only), Walk-in just for me!!!! It's fun when budget is unlimited!! Great post!
