Large house, no question. Mrs. Levite and I have a LOT of books, which need a LOT of space, and we also really like having guests.
In the best of all possible worlds, I'd love to have a house with three or four bedrooms with big walk-in closets, big bathrooms (for big English bathtubs and separate showers), a couple of offices, a big huge living room, big dining room, huge kitchen (gourmet + kosher = need a lot of room), readily accessible large attic, large basement rumpus room. And as long as I'm wishing, I'd love enough space outside for a pool and hot tub, pool house with sauna, and enough room for both a small English garden and a small Zen garden.
None of which, I am sure, we will ever come close to being able to afford....
