If you were to move to a new house, what would be your priority?

A friend who is going to be relocated to another city has to find a house quickly. When asked what kind of house she is looking for, she said her new place has to have a separate toilet and bath. I was expecting something like a good location or reasonable rental fee but then she mentioned nothing from my list.
Personally, I would never care about a separate toilet and bath but then I am not her. Maybe she would have the same reaction as me if she were to know my preference – which is a balcony. I don’t care much about the view (but if lucky enough, that would be a bonus) as long as I can gaze up in the sky at night, count the stars, slap a few mosquitoes which are brave enough to venture near my solitude. While the house is an enclosed space, the balcony would give me that carefree feeling of enjoying the breeze while contemplating the meaning of life.
How about you?

I occasionally enjoy star-gazing. It's not a problem since there are no tall buildings around where I live. This is an indication to my preference for space. I like a house that is spacious with high ceilings, If I were living alone I would knock out all the room partitions except the bathroom/toilet.

A separate toilet and bath would be high on my list, so would a balcony or porch. We bought our forever home a few years back and we love the forest behind our house and the small town feel of the home and neighborhood.

Fire exit if it's in a building. Enough space for me to do my daily theraphy.

@sol_cee that's fine with me I can sleep through that noise, what I can't deal with are noisy neighbors who don't do anything but sing karaoke that would have been good if they have decent voice but no, their voice are like scratching chalkboard sound so annoying

@sol_cee No. My house doesn't have one and I haven't had one in any place I've lived in while in Wisconsin, in fact thinking about it, I haven't had a dishwasher since I lived in California back when I was married and my husband was in the military. So I'm looking for a place that has one.

When we were looking for a house my requirements were at least 3 bedrooms since we have kids, a fenced yard, a good neighborhood and pets must be allowed.

I want a simple house with a terrace, probably located in a country side close to nature.

Yes, it's the ambiance, the locality, peace and security, cost,proximity to market,church,mall,hospital. And like you I love to have a balcony at the second floor.

@sol_cee it is included in the ambiance! We are lucky to have good neighbors here in our place.

I do like star gazing. Too bad the mosquitoes get me. I have been trying to comtemplate the meaning of life. Very confused lately.
