Pool is a must. Why yesterday in 96+ degrees, we had a nice dip in the pool. So worth it.
Fireplace was on my wishlist as well though I live in Texas.

Open concept
"clean lines" / minimalist style
No tub in baths
No carpet in bedrooms
Detached garage
Most neutral colors except grey, particularly beige/tan
I don't like a huge home. It's not the cost. Some homes are just too big for me. I also don't like a lot of fancy landscaping that I would have to take care of. I don't like stainless steel appliances or gas stoves. I don't like two story homes or any steps at all.
I do like 1960's and 1970's homes and even decor from that era if done tastefully. I like ceiling fans with light kits in every room. I like my two bedroom house better than a three bedroom house.
New houses. Give me a 100 year old house. I love character.
Before I moved here, I lived in a 40-50 year old cookie cutter house.
