My dream house is a log chalet type home with an open floor plan, a walk out lower level and a wrap around porch. But my next and last home will be a ranch type with walk-out basement and a loft for my youngest daughter still at home. It will have a very open floor plan with the garage and laundry on the same level. Getting too old for stairs. It will include a large pantry. -- I have 40 acres near Traverse City, Michigan, and the spot to build selected. Just need to sell our current home.
