home is where the heart is??

it has always been thewife's dream to own a landed property and so last week we went hunting in the mainland. She wants a big house, with a backyard, patio and big kitchen with island. with emphasis on the kitchen.
I just want a >1500 sqft house with 4 rooms to live in, single or double storey.
:-)

We saw a 3-storey corner lot bungalow, off the NS highway, which was around 25mins away, and it really looked awesome. very nicely renovated concept house with jacuzzi, TV room, slightly small kitchen and big garden with pond and fountain but...
But its just too far and too costly.
these days the new housing projects require you to pay the cost for the land and the cost of building the house itself........ jeeez...
am pretty sure thewife would move into the place in a heartbeat, if it was closer and cost less.

There was also another single storey bungalow project that is coming up that was close to 2000sqft with 4 rooms and it was also tucked quite far away in a secluded village area with only 1 small connecting road.

so we are still looking and saving money til that day comes when we find that "perfect" house.
