If I could choose, I'd want my house to be:
- Facing north.
- 2 stories.
- A stand alone house. If can't, then totally totally clearly separated duplex with fence separating us.
- Have a bit of land I can grow maple tree and cherry/plum blossoms tree and crabapple tree.
- 4-5 bedrooms. 4 is ok, but extra 1 study would be nice.
- 1 bedroom with ensuite bathroom on the ground floor.
- 1 bedroom with ensuite on the 2nd floor for my sis.
- Decent size bedroom at the back of the 2nd floor for me.
- Plenty of storage.
- Decent size pool just for daily exercise. Not plunge pool but also not a big pool. Just enough.
- Shared bathroom with a bathtub, the rest just shower. All bathrooms compact size. I really can't get why people have huge bathrooms, such a waste of space. I prefer Japanese compact size bathrooms.
- Island in the kitchen.
