I’m partial to the antebellum plantation house with a huge wrap around porch, Georgian bricks, and French country.
I’m a craftsman guy.
Modern, but not 500$ per sqf modern. More traditional or utilitarian modern.

Um that’s really clear

The original idea was that modernism was meant as a much cheaper way to build, ie that’s why they are/were boxy. Dimensions where intended to fit traditional lumber sizes etc (less waste etc). And also the use of non traditional (re cheaper) materials.

Open plan Hawaiian beach house style.
Indoor/outdoor living.
Must be in Hawaii.
Center hall colonial. At least for now. Once I become older I would like a house all on one level.

I do like that Hawaii style.
Other than that, Lowcountry, Santa Fe, or 1920’s Spanish Revivals.

I need to design my own home to room sizes and shapes to fit functions I want (e.g., a listening room, a library, exercise room, …).

One with a basement. Would seem weird for those of us in cold climes to not have one.
Mid century modern. Or modern. Think Palm Springs for the first one and “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles†houses for the second.

I live in Florida where very few people have basements. I think it is mostly due to the high water table. When I travel I look for AirBnb places where the entire basement is available. I love the fact that the basements are so much cooler than the rest of the house.
Craftsman are nice. I like clean lines, wood floors and trim. A good Victorian can be nice too if it’s not overdone with ornate trim and such.
Living in New England I’ve come to like Cape Cods with cedar shingling for homes on/near the water. Better as a second/summer home than a primary residence though, imo.
Barn! Just a few months away from moving into ours. Main floor, big beams on the ceiling, newel posts and kitchen, 16 feet of big windows in living room, wood stove. Kids rooms and playroom upstairs. Cozy (main floor core not vaulted but 9 foot ceilings, vaulted ceilings upstairs, and in the wings. Didn’t realize how cool it could be until we designed it, then as it’s coming along, it’s even better.

When we moved to Gainesville the no-basement thing nagged at me - my midwestern raised brain was like, “where am I supposed to hide when the tornadoes come into view…?â€
And on the other end of the vertical spectrum, the relative dearth of homes with multiple stories also bothered me. I much prefer sleeping in a second or third story bedroom.
I really didn’t belong in Florida
Lake house. All bedrooms on the lakeside and tons of glass so that you see the lake from every room. Built it. Live in it.
Don’t really care but the wife wants to eventually own a bungalow with a walk out basement to backyard.
For now we ain’t going anywhere.

There are some beautiful, large bungalows around these parts.
