Re: If you could build a new house...

A two-car garage, a family room, and a big kitchen. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

Re: If you could build a new house...

Sounds like most of you want to move to Texas. You can get most of what you want in almost all of the new homes in the DFW area.

Gorgeous home loaded with upgrades! This home has combined formals, stunning gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, island and stainless steel cabinets. Master down with sitting area, mbath has jetted tub, sep. shower, sep. vanites and walk in closet. The kitchen, breakfast nook and family room looks out to the big backyard. This lovely home has an office downstairs, pre wired media room, gameroom, and 4 bdrms with walk in closets are all upstairs. Walking distance to the community pool. 2inch blinds, sprinkler system, stone fireplace & 2 car garage

Oh Yea for 269,000.00 with no snow

I don't even want to see what the extra 200K I spent would get me....
