Re: What are your 5 most haves
We're not actually planning on moving out of this house, but there are things that I did not get that I really, really wanted:
Central Air
A large, modern kitchen
Two full bathrooms (we have 1.5 that can be converted to a full).
A ton of closet space.
Other than that, my other must-have would be a basement, which we currently have.

Re: What are your 5 most haves
We have our hearts set on Babylon Village though we have opened the search to other areas. Since the area that is considered Babylon Village/Babylon school district is so small we try not to have too many inflexible must haves but here they are:
1. Master bedroom with private bath and walk in closet
2. Garage! Either attached or detached.
3. Basement OR attic.
4. Can't need a ton of work- minor cosmetic work is ok such as putting in new floors if the price is right but no complete fixer uppers.
5. Good size kitchen with eating area.

Idk we if we are ever going to move, but if we do, here's what they would be:
-a non-white bathroom
-no garage or not an attached garage
-master bedroom suite + 4 other bedrooms
-huge yard
-in a town that people don't scoff at and stick their noises up at for the sole fact that it is beyond annoying
