While working with a real estate agent, she asked us to go through a bunch of houses and tell her what we liked and didn't like. From that, we created a list of the things we want in our Florida house.
Driveway large enough to hold 4 cars (side by side/front to back)- Good walking score for the neighborhood (sidewalks around the community)
- Yard and landscaping is kept up
- An entry way. Don't have the front door spill into a room.
- At least 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on second floor
- Master bedroom and an office downstairs
- Master bedroom at the back of the house on the 1st floor
- Master bedroom walk-in closet
- No door between pool and master bedroom. Door from pool to master bath would be OK
- No marble in the master bath
- Master bath stand up shower. A lot of counter space. An additional tub isn't important to us.
- Kitchen with breakfast nook and view of the pool area
- Open between the kitchen and living room
- Kitchen has either a peninsula or island that can be used with bar stools
- Pantry for the kitchen
- Pool privacy (bushes OK. No one looking down at us from ontop a hill)
- Good pool size (can't be small). Hot tub isn't important to us.
- Large deck that allows us to walk around all four sides of the pool
- Concrete pool deck (no pavers)
- Screened in pool
- Lanai large enough for an outdoor kitchen & eating area under a roof
- Laundry is indoors (not in the garage)
These are 'nice to have'
- No neighbor backed up to us. Water or a field preferred
- 3 car garage
- second floor living room
- Master bedroom has three windows that looks out at the pool
- Waterfall for the pool
- Tile floor in the common areas instead of hardwood or rug
- Palm tree in the front yard
- Two sinks in the master bath
