[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I'll admit it from the start: I am an idiot and my AHA moment comes very late. But now that I finally understood why I fall in love with certain houses and not others, I am surprised that ceiling heights is never mentioned in home descriptions, but maybe I am the only one on whom they have such an impact? Or it should be obvious given the architectural style?

I am a foreigner, unfamiliar with American architecture and navigated the past year looking at everything from Victorian homes, 1920s bungalows and other pre-war houses, versus post war cape cod, colonial and ramblers (or more recent remodels). I now realize that I didn't feel good in the post war houses I saw because the ceilings were too low. My favorite to date was a tiny 1000sqft craftsman bungalow, smaller than other houses I visited but with 10' ceiling that allowed me to breeze.

Question to you: 
1- can you assume ceiling heights is almost always the same for each architectural houses? Ie bungalow and Victorians = higher ceilings than PWWII homes?
2- does it have a big impact on your home choices/should be considered a premium or personally you don't care so much?
3- if you are building a new home right now, what's your ideal ceiling height?
