I want the Ingall’s house from Little House on the Prairie but with insulation and modern plumbing.
If I ever win the lottery I will buy a patch of land and build that house.
I always liked the look of the house in which Opus and friends lived, in Bloom County. Failing that, I’ll settle for the Tracy Island residence, from Thunderbirds.
Bah! I can’t believe I forgot the Bloom Boarding House…:smack:
Does it include the dandelion patch?
EDIT: Well, whatdyaknow…turns out it does exist!
(I think a “squee” may be in order, at this junction. Though I’ll demur, myself)
Isn’t that the house briefly shown in the movie: “Interview with the Vampire” ?
My first thought was Winterfell (before Theon and the fire) because of the toasty warm floors due to the forced hot water system, but it is a bit grand. And there’s that servant issue. Do these houses come with staff??
Okay, then the Clan Mackenzie house from Dies The Fire. Yes, I like 'em big and grand.
I think it would be cool to live in the Thomas Point Lighthouse.
Nobody could annoy me easily. Winter would suck, but it would still be pretty awesome.
I think I’d like to live on the Busted Flush, Travis McGee’s houseboat.
Failing that, Dave Robicheaux’s house on the Bayou Teche sounds really nice.
Me too! But I might avoid going through that door under the stairs. Don’t you end up in another century that way?
Darn! koeeoaddi beat me to Gull Cottage! I’ve wanted that house since I was a little girl.
This is the house I lived in as a kid. It’s pretty much ideal. 3 storeys and a basement, two storey carriage house and 1/2 a city block for a yard. And it’s for sale.

A couple I haven’t seen mentioned.
The Taj Mahal. It’s soul-achingly pretty, and I’m reasonably sure there are some comfortable spots inside. Even if there isn’t, it’s still soul-achingly beautiful and I might put up with sleeping on the floor just to be able to walk around the grounds each day. Plenty of room for friends or burying your loved ones should the need arise.
Mount Vernon. Been there and to Monticello, and while Monticello was much more impressive, there’s just something about sitting on Mount Vernon’s porch and looking out over the river which just makes you feel good and peaceful. Monticello was busy, Mount Vernon was peaceful.
The White House. Say what you will, it’s the most modern and convenient of pretty much all the structures. Heavy insulation, wired for everything, bulletproof windows, built in kitchens, backup power, the whole nine yards. Tons of art and antiques, one hell of a nice place to live from all accounts, as long as you strip it of the burdens of the office one has to hold to live there.
Enjoy,
Steven
Okay, has to be doable with modern technology? I guess that means living in the TARDIS is out then 
Since there seems to be a demand for Hobbit Holes (not THAT kind of Hobbit Hole, you pervy hobbit-fanciers…) maybe someone should actually make them, chalk me up for a Bag End style subterranian house
barring that, I’ve always liked the house on 1428 Elm Street…
