Day 14 - My Dream House

We can talk about dreams all day long, but the dream house that is (hopefully) one day in my future is this:

5 bedrooms & a frog:
Master bedroom
One bedroom for each of our 2 (unborn) children
One room for an office
One guest bedroom
Frog for Jon's "man-cave" (an acceptable alternative would be a separate garage)

3 baths:
One for the master
One for the kids
One guest bath

Brick
2 Car garage & a driveway large enough for at least 4 cars
Somewhere to put a boat
Backyard with pool and someplace for a garden
Backyard fenced in
Large Living Room
Separate Dining Room

There are currently some homes that fit my requirements, but come NO WHERE NEAR my budget:

4 bedroom / 4 1/2 baths, 6,284 sq ft $1,250,000 - also has a frog & exercise room!
4 bedroom / 4 1/2 baths, 6,773 sq ft $995,000 - "Wonderful mini estate on 7 acres - 3 lots - on a pond with a small dock! The home has a swimming pool and a fountain. There is a "state of the art" electronic "smart house" remote controlled system which runs the televisions, stereo system, lights and six security cameras. A subzero refrigerator, bread warmer, eight gas burner stove, wine cooler. Italian marble floor tiles and countertops which were imported from Milan, Italy. A planetarium for the children with a loft and fiber optic lights on the ceilings. Extensive mahogany paneling and 3 wall safes. A hand carved spiral staircase also graces the library. This home is truly a BARGAIN! Please do not miss out on this opportunity - two apartments - one mother-in-law suite and another 1 bedroom apartment over the garage!" WHOA! Wish I could jump on that one!

Okay, now I am distracted & looking at houses I can't come close to affording!
