Post a picture of your dream house

Just thought we should all reflect and think about what we'd like our future to be like.

I personally think it's okay to be a little materialistic every once in a while...

To me, a house isn't important, but a location is. I want to live in a suburban area which is safe for myself and my family - that includes low crime rates, low drug use and general street safety. I want an area with a reasonably good socioeconomic status, an area which drivers are safe on the road and train stations are safe at night.

I'm also a strong believer in public education, thus, I want an area with good access to strong local public schools - both secondary and tertiary as well as decent access to universities.

All in all, shit house in good suburb > good house in ok suburb

And good house in good suburb>everything else; which leads us back to the point of this thread. Why so serious? :P

I'd agree with you on many things, but personally I see a distinct difference in a house and a home. 
For me a house is merely a house, a floorplan of a building that can be copied and pasted pretty much anywhere.  A home is moreso the combination of factors that influence your living, that being, as you mentioned, possibility of good public education, safety, the house you live in, socioeconomic status of the area, etc.

If OP was looking for a home, I would probably put said house in Glen Waverley (specifically on High St Rd).  Why? Glen Waverley has great food (RaRamen), access to a magnitude of 'good' schools (Wesley College, Caufield Grammar, John Monash, even MHS and Hailebury are reasonable distances), nightlife around Then Glen isn't that bad and Glen Wavoz trains station is pretty close so it's very accessible.

Money can buy you a house, but it can't buy a home.

I've never seen it in real life, but I got bored one day and googled houses in various parts of Victoria to find that Toorak was the most expensive and Frankston North was the cheapest. Then I googled houses for sale in those suburbs and came across that one. That is what I do when I'm procrastinating homework...
P.S. I own a circular driveway :) Except I live in a suburban area so it's not really that exciting. I dream of owning a 2 story house. Something about a staircase makes a house look and feel so much better.

My dream home is not one that is very extravagant.

My dream home is a nice house, built taking into consideration the climate in which it is situated, on a private island.

This may seem far too ridiculous but considering you can buy a private island for $2-3 million dollars, it doesn't seem all that bad. Not saying that's cheap, but it's probably not much more expensive than some of the houses posted above (if not, cheaper).
