I kinda like my house, it has claass, in a way. It's italian styled I think, & than we have like a one acre backyard & a greenhouse in the back & a big trampoline. & than, like, i live in a bungolow & from the outside its really hobo looking, but in the inside its kinda big, we could play hide & seek in it all day. also some random old dude died in it so that kinda freaks me out.
I miss my old house :(



Answer
I like my house, it's really comfortable and I'm used to it! It's a large three and a half story brick house, with a completely finished basement (it's like half underground, but mostly above ground because we live on a hill and my house is built into it). We have a large deck with a pool and I love the view from the back because we have a sun room and it sort of looks like the tower of a castle (only it's all stucco in the back). Our pool is built into the hill, so one side is a rock wall, and the other is a deck suspended probably 30 feet above the ground, and on the ground is a river made up of rocks that "flows" under the deck and out the other side. Then above the rock wall is a flat pit filled with sand and a volleyball net.

I've always been very active so our yard is a slightly slanted hill (one side is very steep and great for sledding!) with a baseball diamond (we have the plates and pitcher's mound, but no official lines or net and it is at a slant). Our driveway is a two car driveway and at the end we have a half basketball court (with painted lines) which is next to a four car garage, then there is a brick walkway leading to the side door and if you continue down it you will pass the "bog" where the river rock ends (there are several plants planted around it to look like a bog) and a set of stairs leading to the deck and the back door. A brick path also leads off of the driveway and to our front door which is made up of two grand, red doors, and it leads into the foyer.

Inside our house, we have several rooms. On the first floor we have a breakfast room (it's designed so it looks French with a large, 400 year old wood table), our kitchen (which is large with a marble counter with a TV that comes up from it), a mud room (which comes off of the kitchen and leads to the side door and the garage), a dining room (it's green with a dark mahogany table, a china tea cup display set, mahogany drawers filled with our finest utensils and place settings, and painting line the wall), then there is a hall way leading to a living room (it is green with a fireplace, lounging area, and coffee table), a library (a dark room lined with books in glass cases all around, a desk, paintings, a couch, and end tables), a formal powder room, and our family room (it's large, with two couches, an armchair, a fireplace, a large two-story tv cabinet, and a large wood coffee table), which leads to the sunroom (it's painted to look like it's outdoors and the ground is red tile so it looks like dirt). Downstairs (the basement) we have the Media Room (with a roll down screen and projector), a luggage closet, a wine cellar, a storage room, the exercise room, a guest room (with twins beds and it's ballerina themed, but it looks very mature), a full bathroom, and the playroom (it has double glass doors with a smaller room room for arts + crafts). On the second floor is just living space, it has 5 bedrooms (one is a master bedroom with two closets, a king bed, a couch, two futons, and a large tv set of to the side is another hallway which leads to the grand bathroom with a jacuzzi, a shower, a separate water closet, and two grand sings, with marble tiled floor), 5 bathrooms, my bedroom is large with twin beds, a couch, two desks, a set of drawers, a night stand, an armchair, a wooden chest, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom. On the third floor we have two more bedrooms, two more bathrooms, and my mother's "loft" studio. Her studio is very large, perhaps the largest room in the house, with two closets coming off of it, a couch, an armchair, 1.5 story ceilings, a desk, two glass tables, two end tables, and a large glass display cabinet with old family photos. One wall is filled just with family photos too.

Sorry if my house is really hard to envision, it's very unique, though, and I love it! My parents designed it for my brothers and I so we could have friends over and just enjoy it. It's not too huge (12,000 squ feet) but we make very good use of the space! It's at the end of a cul-du-sac, so I get to play with my neighbors too! It's so fun because in the summer all of us will play manhunt in the woods near our house and in the winter they'll all go sledding in my backyard, we also set up a ramp in the winter to sled down!

I am very fortunate and blessed with my house though, and I have no complaints.
