Wish I had a jacuzzi in my master bathroom |
Wraparound covered porch takes away all the sunlight 😔.

My dream house won’t be over designed!
I find designers fit your house to the exact requirements you want now, sometimes to the detriment of space.
Ie: if you mention to them that maybe you might want to use this room as a third guest room, all of a sudden it needs more privacy, a full bath, etc. when really it’s main purpose is play room….and maybe once a year it will host a third guest after the official guest suite, and secondary guest room are taken…..
And they also don’t leave room for new hobbies etc…
Ie: if you decide you want another spare freezer but it wasn’t designed into the house there’s nowhere to put it, or if you decide you want a treadmill, or have another baby, or decide to get a sewing machine.
Maybe this problem is only in Brooklyn where space is at a premium…but I keep seeing it.

In other words you want a home were the rooms can have a multi purpose. Were the rooms are flexible to change as your family changes.
I have been reading non-Jewish designed books and the big theme in them(the ones I am reading)is to be able to repurpose your house as your family and needs change.

That would be perfect |
Only if it can exercise for me while I rest...LOL
An exercise room is really a great investment if you like to exercise alone- some pple prefer social aspect of a gym, We fulfilled a dream and did one when our first got married and had a spare small bedroom. First just a bicycle then a treadmill then weights and other stuff...It meant that if any of us only had 20 minutes, we had what to do...and in the cold winters it was great. We put a stand for laptops.
Also a great closet with room for sheitels instead of leaving them on a dresser in the bedroom..honestly a walk in closet is great.

Then you are dealing with the wrong designers! I do residential and kitchen design professionally, and yes, I like flexibility and give attention to how spaces will be used in the future as well as the present. Alcoves and multi-purpose spaces give you more bang for your buck, and more options as your needs change over time.
As far as the question at hand, I vote for a bedroom and bath on the main floor. Yes, I have that and it was invaluable when my elderly mother a"h came to live us. It now serves as guest room and sample room (for my work).
