I would live there with my wife and two children. I imagine my house to be a 2 storeyed building. Near the front side it has a facade with columns and steps up to the front door. There are also two balconies and a terrace in my house. The windows are in the shape of arches. Through them you can see a wonderful landscape. There are lots of fir trees and flowers around the house. And you can walk in the shade of these trees listening to the birds singing.
As you come through the front door, you find yourself in a large hall with an open fireplace. One of the doors leads to the living room. This room faces the south, so it "s very sunny and has a lovely view of the whole valley. In the middle of this room there"s a thick Persian carpet.
There are few units of furniture in this room. On the left there "s a leather sofa and small table nearby, on the right you can see home cinema and satellite receiver.

I live in an apartment, in a multi-storey building. It's nice and cozy there, but I prefer my own country houses. The house I dream of would not be very far from the city, in a quiet beautiful area, perhaps near a river or lake. I would also like to have a small pine grove near my house.
The house itself I imagine brick, with a smart green or red roof and large windows. It would probably have two floors. Downstairs I would like to arrange a spacious living room. It will be possible to place visiting friends and relatives there,
Celebrate various holidays. In winter, there would be a real fireplace. In summer, one could gather at a large table on the terrace, where the living room door would open. Even on the first floor, I would like to have a kitchen and a library with many books. A separate small room would be arranged for our dog.
On the second floor of my dream house, there could be bedrooms and two spacious children's rooms - for me and my sister. Now we have a common room with her, and I would like to have my own. There I will arrange everything to my liking. A small beautiful balcony would have been made on the top floor.
I would like to
Live in a house with a swimming pool, because I love to swim. The pool near the house is very convenient, especially in the summer heat.
Near the house, we could break a flower garden, and then the garden would begin. In the garden there will be fruit trees and a low fluffy Christmas tree. On the New Year it can be decorated with toys and garlands, and it will always remain green.
On the site near the house I would like to have a playground. This is where my sister and I could bring our friends and play ball and other games with them. Between the trees, you can hang a hammock and put benches or a gazebo. In the garden, we would hang birdhouses and feeders.
Of course, such a house is just my dream, but maybe when I grow up, I can make it come true!
