If I could I would have more outdoor space UNDER ROOF. I love to be outdoors and I like the open screened lanais, but the sun can be brutally hot. I would like to have that space under a REAL roof...and bigger than is offered.
I also wish that there was a way to climb into the attic with real stairs, so that it is safer to store things there and I also would like it to be air conditioned.
What would your dream for a home not offered be??

graciegirl,
Your two points are the exact two that I would make. Our house is not even finished yet, but believe me I am thinking, thinking, thinking. We are building a Begonia and I already have big plans to make the golf cart garage, not a gargage at all. I would like to open it up to the breakfast nook with big french doors, install an eastern facing skylight, replace the golf cart garage door with big french doors, oh the details go on and on. Don't know if this will be allowed, but I have pictures from magazines, and ideas out the wazoo (how do you spell that anyway?) I would like to make our frontyard very inviting to our neighbors by creating a courtyard atmosphere -we'll see.
I also want to see if it's possible to build a lanai on top of our lanai. I know we can't go higher than the roof line and there may be all other sorts or no, no's about doing this, but a girl can dream. Our lot is very small, but it has a beautiful view, and from what we have found already and we haven't even finished building, we have AWESOME neighbors, so even if I can't do any of this I AM GOOD! but that won't stop me from thinking about it
