Re: What Was on Your "MUST HAVE" List For Your House
I need a basement and a backyard. A second bathroom would be nice but not a must.

Re: What Was on Your "MUST HAVE" List For Your House
We bought our second home so I was picky..
1. Must be in Northport Schools
2. Colonial
(those two limited it a lot)
3. real hardwood floors, as much as possible
4. at least a 1/2 bath on the first floor
5. little or no steps into the house (my Dad is handicapped)
6. 2 plus bathrooms
7. master bath
8. basement
9. comfortable eat in kitchen
10. fireplace
11. dining room
12. separate den/livingroom areas
13. at least three bedrooms
14. vinyl siding or brick and in good shape
15. no corner lots
16. no pools
17. no main roads/double yellow line
18. houses had to have a nice distance in between
19. No commercial vehicles on properties- I came from a neighborhood where a lot of contractors brought their vehicles home and I thoguht it was ugly.
The only thing I compromised on was the half basement. Then again, you all saw the massive renoivations I still had to do. One bonus was two fireplaces and the very low price we got it for due to the interior's condition.
