Mine is utterly mundane: I want one of those little tower nook things like on Victorian houses. I think it's just called a turret?
You are correct, a turret. You and my wife have the same dream. She wants to put a bunch of pillows on the nook and read.
Heck yes book turret buddies.
My mom had one of these turrets. I don’t mean to kill the dream but it’s really hot in there in the summer (Virginia)
It's funny because every other McMansion Hell post makes fun of houses with turrets, but I'm with you... I'd love a 3rd floor turret with windows on all sides for a chillaxing space.
I think it’s one of those things where it has to match the rest of the home.
If you have a fairly standard modern home and just slap a turret on it, it looks ridiculous.
Towers or turrets.
Towers go to the foundation.
Turrets start above the first floor.
This is my dream too, but I want a retractable roof so I can set up a telescope. Also my house would be in the middle of nowhere so I can see the stars.
Maybe a cupola?
