What's your favorite/least favorite thing about your house/property?

[NinjaBum]

Can be something your home/property either came with or that you added after you started living there.

If there was something really cool about your past homes that you really miss that qualifies as well.

Probably the only cool thing about our home now is our den. It's got this old red brick floor and old school adobe and wood panel walls. Feels like I am sitting in an old Spanish mission when I am hanging out in there.

Least favorite aspect is the carport. It gets really windy here and something about the way the wind comes in blows everyone's dry leaves, grass, or litter into the carport and I have to sweep it out all the damn time.

Bonus points for pics. My house sucks so I r embarrassed.

I have two houses next door to each other. i live in one and the other is my office. Both fully paid off.

I bought them due to the large (for los Angeles) lot size. And now I have retired so it's time to develop them.

The plans call for 27 condos going up three floors. Building costs should be about 9 million + or -. Condos sell for around 1.25 million. So after expenses I should be able to pocket (before taxes) around 24 million.

That is why I like my house. :-D

Haha nice man!

I know someone else who did something similar but in India. Owned property next to where they built a Formula 1 track I believe and sold it for millions.

I don't like the fact my home has a stucco exterior but there's not much choice in Vegas. I do like the view I have from my bedroom balcony, though. I love sipping cocktails out here:

I like my house ok. It could use more closet space and more land. The best house I've had was in Sicily. View out one side was the top of Mt. Etna and out the other was Catania and the Mediterranean.

I like that this is the first house I built, I don't like that it's a duplex and has a tiny garage.

Won't be here much longer

Least Favorite is my single car garage. Beats no garage, but I figured it'd work the few years I plan to live here.

Favorite is my seat next to the grill on the back patio. Great spot to sit and relax with a drink and enjoy your yard/house especially at night.

Pretty much my same sentiments. I have a single car garage which works but I'd love something bigger. I'm 23 and just purchased it a few months ago, so won't be moving for about 3-5 years probably. Also have a child due in May so I'll be busy spending all my money on him/her. Love my deck off my living room though. I'm up in the mountains a bit so I can see over the whole city. Great for grilling and drinks. Also love the kitchen(full of cleaning supplies, this was the night we moved in)

Least favorite thing about my house is the pool. Where the previous owner installed it it gets virtually no sun even in the summer so it's always cold. Plus, it wasn't properly winterized this year so one of the pipes cracked and let water leech into my basement. It's coming out this winter.

Favorite thing is the property. We live on 10 acres on a private road. Closest neighbor is half mile away and they're cool. We can shoot, have big bonfires or whatever without being hassled. We're also on a river so we can fish or just hike some trails.

Grounds maintaince, at one point I found doing this took my mind off of other things, now it is just a pain in the ass.

 

[R.D.P.]

I have a pool, I hate it. Thing I guess I like the best is the location, I live right on the outside edge of the suburbs in a really nice area. There's a nice movie theater and restaurants 5 minutes one direction and large working farms 5 minutes the other way.

yard is too small

All of this. Also we have a log house so it's a bit different from everyone else's house. I hate my pool with a passion, and it's in the way of the pole barn I want to put up in place of the current 22x40 garage.

My lot size, I could use an additional 500 sq/miles.


Not real keen on neighbors.

 

[rancid]

Love potential for my unfinished basement and hate the noise from the road behind my house. Our master bedroom faces the road and I hear all kinda of crap that keeps me up at times.

 

[DAVESVT2000]

My house came with gas forced hot air, first thing I did was add central AC. I'd Rather be too cold than too hot.

Also, my house came with an old shop out back, 4000 sq ft, 40x100, with two 9x9 doors and one 8x8 door. It's not heated, but I can fit 16 cars in the winter in there at $60/month each. I wish it had more height, only 10 feet clearance, so no way to do a lift.

 

[Dusten]

My shop and my view are my favorite things.
I have a 32x40 shop with a 15' ceiling and 2 12' doors. The shop has a loft above it. It has 240v power, water, built in compressor with hardlines.

This was it the day we moved in, empty as hell

This is the backside of the house, so my view. Its 3 wooded acres, with deer and shit.(that tree blew over, I didn't just cut it down)

My least favorite thing is the trees. Anything that sits outside is ****ing covered in pine needles.

 

[Bdubbs]

Least favorite is my neighbor and not having a bigger garage. Favorite things are, I have woods in my backyard with deer roaming around all the time. Pretty cool for living in town. And that I have room to build a bigger garage.

 

[CompOrange04GT]

It's not a house but an apartment, The fact that this is roughly 3 minutes away now.

So this is the view I basically have is this from my apartment. ( Not the water) but the mountains on the right

 

[ford fanatic]

Favorites are that we just added a 600 square foot addition, all new kitchen, painted the whole house and all new flooring...and built a 3 car garage. Projects next year are a new pool and deck. Best part is that it's that we are on 40 wooded acres. I can piss in my front yard and no one will care lol.

Worst is the landscaping, but that will be worked on in the years to come.
