[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love a mudroom, but my bigger dealbreakers were wanting a short commute and not having millions of dollars with which to purchase a house.  Very few (maybe one?) of the houses that were close in and less than $1.5 million that we looked at had a mud room  I'm surprised that so many people around here feel strongly about this given the variety of constraints in this market.[/quote]

We paid for location/walkability, schools, Metro—so mud room (though would love one) wasn’t on the list.  Homes in our neighborhood in our price range our older/remolded $1.4 million—for the mud room you are looking at a $2million new build.  Garages also aren’t typical and if people have them- they are unattached so I don’t even see the point if you have a storage shed.[/quote]

This reminds of watching HGTV and these 20-somethings have a huge list of "MUST-HAVES" some strange, etc.

We bought a home in NW and one in Clarendon when there were 20-some offers on each---after waiting for a year of little or no inventory.  Chr*st, we had to forgo most contingencies and buy 'as is' just to get in the neighborhood we wanted and we had a VERY short list--basically # of bedrooms.  Once we got the houses it was on us to work with what we could with what little was left over for renovation/remodel.

IF you are in a very hot location and do not have UNLIMITED (read over 2-3 million to spend) you are getting the lot you want and that's about it.

But---I love mudrooms.  That is one thing we have thought about adding on in time.[/quote]
