Most Sunday newspapers contain a large real estate listing. You might want to have this close by when you tackle this week's question.
But first, Antonette, of "Jottings From Jersey," was first to answer last week's question about blogging pet peeves. Congratulations, Antonette!
On to the newest challenge!
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
Consider your "Dream House." Now name seven features, either of the house or the lot itself, that would be required for it to really be your "Dream House."
Location: An isolated section of temperate coastline
Style: Earth-sheltered modern concrete structure, utilizing passive solar as well as active solar; steel storm shutters over all windows capable of withstanding a Class 4 Hurricane in situ without suffering permanent harm.
Overall Layout: A master sleeping wing isolated from main living area for reduction/elimination of noise and light intrusion; former children's wing converted to a guest apartment with it's own kitchenette and separate entrance to allow private egress.
Kitchen: a wood-fired stove and oven in addition to modern appliances and surfaces.
Utilities Room: Addition of a raised tub for dog washing in addition to the usual laundry and rest room functions; ability to isolate and heat only this area to reduce costs during winter months when traveling.
Special Features: Fully functional 13R sprinkler system, an escape tunnel, protected and guarded with remote safety egress on surface.
Detached 3 car garage/shop with a second story I could devote to model railroading.
