Somehow you’ve gotten your dream home. The cabin in the mountains, penthouse downtown, castle nestled deep in the woods, nuclear bunker in the hills, or whatever. Whats the bit you’d add that might raise a brow from others? The fireman’s pole? The slide? The moat? The hidden room behind a bookshelf where you keep your stuffed animals?

    Mine is utterly mundane: I want one of those little tower nook things like on Victorian houses. I think it’s just called a turret?

      It’s funny because every other McMansion Hell post makes fun of houses with turrets, but I’m with you… I’d love a 3rd floor turret with windows on all sides for a chillaxing space.

      Asians sometimes work a bit too hard.

      I’m a Hongkonger, and we have an internal joke within the entirety of Hong Kong which is “Hongkongers love working”

    Treads. Ever seen/read Mortal Engines? Being a traction city sounds very easy when there is no competition. I’m gonna be the new Oberbürgermeister of the Great Hunting Grounds

    A Bath Room. No, not a bathroom. A room just for a wide bath, with a fireplace, a window overlooking greenery. A sound system of course. There’ll be a small bookshelf for a choice of relaxed reading, and possibly a fridge at arms length with a choice of relaxing drinks.

    Hidden passageways in all the rooms. Every room will be connected via an intricate maze of crawlspaces, slides, ladders, and all manner of hidden passages. Sure i could use the stairs like a normal person to get to the living room, or i could pull a book off the shelf to reveal a trap door in the floor that leads to a slide downstairs.

    A secondary “dirty” kitchen for butchering and so on, designed to be hosed down for cleaning. It would also probably have a walk in freezer, and that probably counts on its own.

    Corpses. Legally acquired corpses buried und the house, maybe some in hidden departments throughout the house. Just to fuck with whoever owns it after me

    I have bought my dream house. It’s old, cranky and somewhat scary. Now I only need the money to be able to return it to its former glory.

    What I would want to add to her would be a few hidden compartments, one or two small root cellars to store wine and some balconies. If I really had the money, I’d modify the roof and build a small greenhouse/sunroom, big enough to put two chair and a small bookcase, after stuffing it with plants.

    I’d have a room dedicated for porn basically. Monitors playing films 24/7, posters on the walls, toys, clothes, dolls etc. all over in huge quantities. Basically if there’s a “kinky version” of anything I want it there instead of the ordinary thing. Like a light switch that’s a dick you flip up and down etc.

    I’m not sure. Perhaps an art room, a room specializing in every art tool known to mankind, for anyone who is an artist, so they don’t have to return home to make or finish a piece.
