Tell Us: Why Did You Fall in Love With Your Residence?

For renters and buyers on the search for a home, there always seems to be the one thing that stops you in your tracks and seals the deal to the perfect place. For me, the old engraving of a hunter and his dog on the front doorway of my tiny San Francisco apartment left my heart flutter. For my dad, it was the window seat at the front room of his house that caught his eye.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we wish to know what made you fall in love with your house when you saw it first time. Having a house or apartment is similar to having any other relationship. So tell us what made you know your house was”the one.” Snap a fast photo with your camera or phone right now and tell us about it in the comment area under — it could be featured on the homepage.

Perhaps it was the classic fireplace in your living space that called out to you — it was the perfect place to create a cozy reading nook and snuggle up in your favorite armchair?

Can it be the light? A couple of skylights and large, open windows may make a lot of a homeowner weak in the knees.

Or maybe it was the great outdoor space? For most buyers around the search, a sunny place to dine and unwind in the summer is the 1 thing on their must-have list.
