     The average home is 2,000quare feet. My dream house of the future would be 10,000 square feet! It would be located in Antarctica. At first you are probably questioning my reasons why, however there is no traffic in Antarctica, no bad neighbors, no noise, plus it’s roomy. It provides the ideal living area for a human being, besides of course the cold weather; however in my dream house I have incorporated utensils and devices to ease the burden of the overbearing frost.
The exterior would be made up of graphene, one of the hardest materials on earth. As you walk inside you would notice many rooms, consisting of a gym, five bedrooms, a movie theater, a kitchen, laundry room, gaming room, an indoor pool, accompanied by a hot tub, and a basketball court. All of these rooms ensure that I would not tire of the soothing, quiet life in Antarctica. I would also add some minor, yet cool details to house; such as an escalator , an elevator, soda dispenser, a snowmobile tank, a one hundred inch TV, next to a huge fireplace, and finally a jetpack.
When in asked an architect “what’s you opinion of my house?” he responded back with a modest, “It is unique.”
My next question for the skilled designer was would he live in my house despite the location.
He said, “Yes.” This made me feel better about my plans and vision for future house.
My final question for the architect was what would he change about my house.
He said, “It wouldn’t be in Antarctica.” I brushed off this comment; I guess some people don’t appreciate the quiet peaceful land of Antarctica. This is my dream house.

             This year I will move into my dream home, 2040. I will be 40-years-old. My home is located in L.A California. The average home is 2000 square feet, but my home is 8,500 sq. feet. The materials that are used for the exterior of the house are bricks.

            There are many rooms in the house and I personally love all of them. There are 4 master bedrooms, a movie theater, a water park, a game room, and two dance studios. There are 4 master bedrooms, because if there’s a guest, than there are plenty of rooms to choose from. The Movie Theater, Water Park, and game room are obviously just for fun.  The two dance studios are to practice and dance. The interior of the house is very decorative and clean. There are many hallways in the house, because there are 5 stories. The house is very colorful and fun, with lots of big, open rooms.

            I decided to interview my neighbor because she knows plenty about my home. “Do you think my house is nice?” I asked. “Yes, because it’s nicely decorated.” She answered. The next question I asked her was, “Do you like being my neighbor?” She said, “Yes, because you’re very pleasant to be around.” The last question I asked her was if she wishes she had my house. She answered with, “Totally, because it is a lot better than mine.”

            I love everything about my dream home, and I am so happy that I actually got to own it at this age. I would not trade anything for my beautiful dream house.

My dream house is a light house right smack dab in the middle of Maine and Vermont. I moved in on September 16^th, 2016, on the day of my eighteenth birthday. It was 10,000 sq. feet and is made of water proof material in case of storm and/or flood. It has eight rooms including two bathrooms and a sunroom, but one of the two bathrooms is downstairs off the kitchen/ living room area. When you first walk in the door, you see the kitchen/living room area. My house has carpet in every room except for the bathrooms and kitchen.

As you walk up the stairs, you see your first bedroom that would be a guestroom/ kids room. Continue walking up the stairs and you find your second and third bedroom adjoined by a jack and jill bathroom. My house is a beautiful waterfront property and when you go down towards the path to the water, there are dozens and dozens of tropical plants and flowers that I planted leading down the pathway to the beach.

I asked my neighbor what she thought about the outside of my house and she said, “I thought it was very homey and peaceful.” She also said that she liked the garden and the inside  saying the inside was, “A very warm and loving environment.”

                My dream house would be amazing. It would be in Heaven Hills and turning left on Jesus lane. I live in #8 because #7 was taken.  I live in a 7,777 square foot house. The exterior is made of solid marble and has serifs watching all over the property. On the inside, the house is amazing, with a pool that heats up to the temperature of your choice. I have 3 move theater couches in front of my 150in plasma screen.  I also have a dragon fire place; it is a dragon that breathes fire. And my bed will float using magnets.

                In 2031 I will move into my dream home. I will be 32 years old. It will be located in the Outer Banks and it will be 6000 sq. ft. The exterior of my home will be made out of sea shell, glass, and bricks. I will have a variety of rooms consisting of a movie theater, three master bedrooms, a kitchen with a gourmet chef, and a sun room. The futuristic features in my dream home will be an infinity pool (Olympic sized), a beach walk, a hot tub, and a roof top balcony.

                To receive feedback about my dream home I interviewed my neighbor. I asked her three questions. The first question was ‘What’s your favorite part of my house?’ she told me she enjoyed the seashells on the outside of my house. The next question was ‘What’s your least favorite part of my house?’ She said “I think you hot tub is too small.” Then I asked her ‘What is one thing you would change?’ She told me I needed more technology.  I cant wait until I finally get to live in my dream house.

What’s your dream home? Is it a mansion? Log cabin? A shed? Well mine’s a beach house in Nag’s Head, North Carolina.  There are many rooms with many different purposes.

                There are many different uses for my many rooms. There is a pool room to cool down on hot summer days and work out in the winter. If you’re not into that you can go rock climbing! There’s also an up-to-date movie theater with movies that are in theaters now! We also have a five-star kitchen ready to serve you in a moments notice. And then you can eat in our nice formal dinning room or the living room and watch some hockey on our flat screen T.V.  It’s not just the inside that is nice. The outside is BEAUTIFUL! It’s made of wood and looks like a beach house! It’s also 200,000 sq. feet.

                I asked my wonderful neighbor Morgan what she liked about my house the most. She said that the living room is the best feature. Her least favorite feature is the kitchen because it’s ‘tacky’ and the beds are very comfy.

                Now you know what my house will look like. What will your’s be like?

            My dream house is just a dream.  The 10,000 square foot house with 4 master bedrooms 3 other bedrooms an in-law suite. Don’t forget the yard with a deck and a glorious pool.  A game room and a theater room finish the house. Of course though, the price isn’t so nice in Houston Texas, its 2.5 million dollars for my dream house.  So if you won the lottery or you are a billionaire this house is for you.  Garnish covered tables and granite countertops.  This beautiful house is out of anyone’s league in the year 2023.  Maybe you have the inspiration to pay the retail price out of this gorgeous house. 
            Plants are in the ground leaving the sense of welcome.  I decided to ask a neighbor about this house.  I asked her, “Is this house worth 2.5 million dollars?”

            “Well, you see this neighborhood is very exquisite and the house could be a trailer and be worth 2.5 million,” she said, “so you are getting a deal.”  I guess this house pays for itself.  Wondering the worth of the interior I begin to ask the neighbor if she has ever seen the interior of this house. 
            “OF COURSE, everybody has seen everybody’s house,”  she said. 

            “Is it nice?” I question her.  

            “It’s beautiful,” she says, “but of course mine is better.”

            Know I know this house is for me.  I will get it and enjoy it.

            Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been thinking about the house of my dreams. I wasn’t very specific as a young child, but all I wanted was a big house with a pool. Today, I am doing an article on my dream house, so now it’s the day for me to be more detailed about my dream house

            I will move into my dream house in 2020, when I am 20 years old. It will be located in Atlanta, Georgia (ATL). The average home is about 2000 square feet, but I want to have a 5,000 square foot model home. The material used for the exterior of the house will be brick, stone, concrete and wood.

            There’ll be many rooms in the interior of my home. There will be a dance studio, tumbling room, recording studio, an indoor pool and Jacuzzi room, three guest bedrooms, a big family dining room, a walk-in closet, a master bedroom, a big and small garage, a downstairs kitchen (main kitchen) and an upstairs kitchen (spare kitchen).

            For the dance studio, the ground will be a glossy wood, making it easier to slide. The walls will be covered with humungous mirrors, so I can watch myself as I dance.  In the tumbling room, there will be mats installed into the floor, same with a trampoline. The walls will be matted too, just incase I hit the wall as I do flips. The recording room will be my favorite room. It’ll be like any other recording studio, with a microphone set, a sound system, and many instruments. The indoor pool and Jacuzzi room will be in the back of the home. Usually, the surface of a pool is rough and rocky, leading to cuts and blisters when scratched. So, I will have a soft carpet-like surface in my pool, and the Jacuzzi will be right next to the pool. In the Jacuzzi, the floor will also be carpet-like and will have corner block seats to sit in the warm, bubbly water. The best part about this room is that it will have a skylight! There’ll be three guest bedrooms for any of my guests if they want to sleepover. Even when guest want to eat, I’ll have a big dining room for all to eat in.  I’ve always wanted a walk-in closet, just like the closet in the show, Hannah Montana, when she had an electric spinning clothing rack. Everything she had in that closet, except for the clothes, I want. The closet will be in my master bedroom. My master bedroom will be huge! I’ll have a California king bed, the walk-in closet, a chimney/TV, and a seventy inch wall computer. The small and big garage is just for parking my cars inside of. Lastly, the upstairs kitchen is just a spare kitchen. I will only use that one if I am too lazy to go to the downstairs one. The only time I will use the downstairs kitchen is when I prepare big meals.

            One of my classmate friends, Kayla Wilkins, interviewed my dream home. I asked her these two questions, “Do you like my home?” and, “Why do you like or dislike my home? She answers yes to the first questions. She says, “I like it because it is big, spacy and it has a lot of entertaining rooms.”

            Did you ever just sit down and wonder where you wanted to live in many years? Well, that’s what I did, and I know exactly what I want my house to look like. I plan to move into this house by Myrtle Beach when I am 61 in the year 2060. It is about 3,500 square feet.

            My home is made out of bricks. It has a huge driveway with a basketball hoop, and a giant lawn in the front yard, and a huge, futuristic pool and hot tub in the backyard.

           All connected by one central area with a hardwood floor on the inside, the main rooms are the den, big den,  the large family room, the kitchen, the master bedroom, and the arcade. The big den has a 70” Hi-Definition Samsung Flat Screen TV, a couch capable of seating eight people, a large entertainment center, and a tiki-fireplace for decoration. The next room, the regular den, is similar to the big den, but smaller and more peaceful. It has a 62” TV, a three-seated couch along with a recliner, a glass coffee table, a hi-tech computer, and a four-foot-tall gumball machine. The stylish kitchen contains a golden refrigerator, oven, microwave, a lot of cabinets, an automatic dishwasher, and as a special touch, a soda dispenser to go with it. With it is an arcade that looks like it is just one game system, but can play any game that you put your mind to including bowling, air hockey, and mini-golf. The last two rooms are my master bedroom and the bathroom. The bedroom has a king size bed and a smaller, 40” TV. The bathroom has a luxury shower, golden toilet, and decorative sink.

         Some of the futuristic features in my home are the play-what-you-want arcade, soda dispenser, golden frig and toilet, the special fireplace, and the Ferrari of the future.

         I interviewed my new next-door neighbor, Colton. When I asked him what he thought of my house, he said that is was beautiful, abstract, and very futuristic, even for 2060. He said that he liked how new and interesting it seemed, but thought that it looked a bit over-the-top. Colton said, “I think that you could make it better by cleaning it up a little more and taking better care of it. Perhaps a maid or a butler could do this.” Finally, when I requested for him to tell me what he liked the most about my home; he answered “definitely the big den.”

        So there is my story about my dream home for 2060.

By Kayla Wilkins

I have a 2,001 square foot home. Long Island, New York has changed in the 13 since I have been there. My house is a combination of brick and granite, and the walk way leading into my drive way is stone; my driveway is concrete.

            Going inside my house through the glass and wood door the first thing you see is the stairs. On the ceiling is a crystal chandelier over looking the entire living room. On the right is the hallway leading to the living room and the stairs to the basement. On the left is the living room. The glass and cedar wood is centered between the 2 light blue-ish couches. When you walk barefoot you can feel the softness of the light brown carpet.

            In the kitchen are chrome sinks, refrigerator, oven, and microwave. The utensils and tools are made of metal, except a few that are made of wood. From the kitchen you enter the den. Then den has the TV more comfortable couches and a mini-fridge for drinks.

Many of my relatives say my house is fun and exciting. My niece Dee Dee says, “I love your house; very decorative.” She brings her friends over a lot to my house. She especially likes the electric closets. She practices all the time in my dance/tumbling studio and sometimes she records in the recording studio.

When I have company over in the summer we have cook outs and children, teens, and young adults go in the pools, while the adults go in the hot tub. We all have a great time.

My house is an adventure and I hope to add more bedrooms and such soon and I’m not sure how but I know it will come to me.
