  • lots and lots of natural light - big window, skylights, etc
  • want a house that is warm in winter and cool in summer, and inexpensive to run
  • ensuite does not need a bath tub, but should have a larger shower, with a waterfall rose and an adjustable rose
  • would like a minimum of 8 lineal metres of hanging in the WIR
  • Master bedroom should have a view
  • king size bed in the master bedroom
  • kitchen should be big enough for visitors to hang out in when entertaining
