My longtime impractical dream house is three story Victorian house. The kind that looks haunted.
Of course I want a self cleaning version. If it is haunted, I don't know. I like being a spectator, but not necessarily a participant.
I almost bought such house when I was house hunting back in 2004 (or so). It was cheaper than the house I bought, but my realter convinced me it was not a good idea, because a basement wall, made of brick, was bowing in A LOT.
The third floor would be attic room(s)
