Fireplace, claw-footed tub, ENOUGH BOOKSHELVES AND CLOSETS
Also butler's pantry, dumbwaiter, and turret room. I also loved the push-button light switches from the '10s and '20s.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fireplace, claw-footed tub, ENOUGH BOOKSHELVES AND CLOSETS, and maid service. Those are on my wishlist.
Mine too. Plus I want a dumbwaiter. And a bookshelf that's a doorway to a secret compartment. And a dragon living under the stairs.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am glad you made it home, shrift, however late You aren't sick are you? I am on day two of the cold from hell. ( I managed to shower and dress in outside clothes today, which puts me ahead of yesterday, but I gave up before I actually made it out of the house)

Dumbwaiter x-post!
Oh yeah, I want a turret room too. More than one.
Our old farmhouse had push-button lights--they were fun.

Thrive to spite them
I had a fireplace in the quadraplex I lived in a few years ago. I never had a fire in it - partly because it was never cold enough (being in Florida) but also my apartment was always way too warm. I think my downstairs neighbors kept their apartment really really warm and it kept my place warm.
My future dream house has a dishwasher, washer and dryer that are not in the kitchen, woodstove or fireplace, lots of space for books, enough space for books, screened porch and/or three season porch.

Some of the co-ops in my old neighborhood in Queens had working dumbwaiters. They used them for daily trash removal - the super would buzz each apartment in the evening and the dumbwaiter for their bag of trash.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have a gas fireplace, too. It is my only source of heat at the moment, but where I live heat is not that critical so only being able to heat one room is okay. And it gets the living room nice and toasty, as long as I don't have the back door open
Every time I think I'll light a fire in the outside fireplace doohickey it seems to be a no burn day (air quality thing).
My personal trainer session was just, like, assessment and planning, no actual working out, yay! But I had coffee before, so now I am so very tired but definitely awake. I do not know what to do with myself.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My wish list would be wrap around porch, curved stairwell, a magic vegetable garden that only needed a tiny little bit of work, and a bathroom with an oversized jacuzzi tub.
I may be able to add that last one, some day.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It's like 65 degrees in New Orleans. I'm just saying.
Also, I had a muffaletta for lunch. Well, a quarter of a muffaletta. Well, I bought a quarter and then ate half of that because those sandwiches are huge.
