After staying in a CYV and a designer on our 2 trips before we bought, we decided we really liked the CYVs. The walled courtyards really appealed to us both and had so much potential. Ours is really quiet, but then maybe it is because we have quiet neighbors. We love the privacy especially for our nightly hot tubbing!
When we started looking I was definite about wanting volume ceilings. What I found happening, however, was that I would leave a place and not be able to remember if it had volume ceilings or not. I finally decided that the ceilings were not something I needed to pay much attention to.
We have attic stairs in the garage with storage both above the garage and above the house. While it is hot in the summer, we also have a solar attic fan that keeps the space cooler than it would otherwise be. Someone on here mentioned attic access through the master bedroom closet so we would probably consider that if we felt like we needed more room.
