We wanted style (had to be a colonial/victorian with a porch) and a specific location. After that, we were pretty open.

A roof. Chat Icon

We bought from ILs, so there was no choice. But for our next house I'm sure I'll have a long list of wants. Chat Icon

Same here! Oh and taxes (not too high) were important. As for this house, we plan on it being a starter, so like Tanaholic said I'm making my list already for our next house! Chat Icon
