As I inch closer to acquisiton I am confronted with the possibility of an extensive remodel of the main house. The square footage is awesome 5 bedrooms and 5K SF but the bath configuration/placement, wasted space, and general flow are not conducive to a comfortable guest experience. So since my opinion is often skewed by my personal likes and dislikes, and those can change I thought I would ask for a list of dreams. (I prefer an old claw foot tub to a jetted/whirlpool, I like a sauna more than a steam....)
What are the top things you love or wish you had as far as layout and the big ticket amenities are concerned.
Each room is large enough to handle a king bed comfortably, so that is a given. A utility closet houses a second floor laundry and storage area, that is staying. Each bedroom on the second floor has a private bath, albeit not a 4 peice bath with separate shower and tub there is room to make that happen. I am looking for things like does the 2 person jetted tub go in the bathroom, or in an alcove in the sleeping area? Are separate sitting areas perferred to a corner of the bedroom? Fireplaces? Wet Bars? Outside entrances? Big bathrooms? Double sinks?
The property has a large pond (no swimming - and NO POOL will be in the future!)
Any really cool things you have seen in your travels. Not that I can make it all happen but a list of "dream amenities" would be a great starting point. The owner's quarters are in a separate building on site so no need to create an owner's private space. This list will be the jumping off point for what may be an extensive remodel, some might be must have deal breakers other might be if the budget allows it. So please give me your wish list, your virtual dream BnB.
Thanks, can't wait to see what you all come up with, the architect may not like it but it won't be his!
For those of you that don't know the property is in a southern state, and is not currently a BnB, my target market is the "rural retreat from the hustle of city life" guest. Think "Green Acres" without Arnold running through the living room.
