What Your Favorite Home Feature Says About You
A Completely Unscientific Personality Quiz, Real Estate Edition
Let’s face it—when you daydream about your dream home, certain features always top the list. Maybe it’s a cozy front porch, or maybe it’s that perfectly organized pantry you saw on Instagram at 2 a.m. But have you ever stopped to wonder what those dream features say about you?
We’re here to decode the hidden meaning behind your home obsessions. (Don’t worry—this is 100% fun and 0% judgment.)
Home Features
A Screened-In Porch
If you love a screen-in porch, you’re the Cozy Contemplator.
You crave peace, iced tea, and a good book during a spring rainstorm. You’re the type who remembers to send thank-you notes and probably owns a collection of throw blankets in neutral tones. Your ideal Saturday involves a porch swing, a gentle breeze, and absolutely zero social obligations.
A Window Seat
If you love a window seat, you’re the Daydreamer.
You appreciate quiet, introspective moments—reading a book, watching the world go by, or sipping coffee in soft morning light. You probably journal, curate your Spotify playlists with intention, and believe in the power of a well-placed pillow. You value comfort, natural light, and a view—big or small. Bonus points if your window seat has hidden storage underneath!
Huge Kitchen Island
If you love a huge kitchen island, you’re the Social Architect.
You thrive in the chaos of hosting, love a good game night, and believe snacks are best served at counter height. You’re the glue that holds friend groups together—and if there’s a potluck, you’re hosting it (and probably making your signature dip).
Finished Basement
If you love a finished basement, you’re the Practical Dreamer.
You love a good deal, think in square footage, and can already visualize a home gym/game room/guest suite (or all three) for your finished basement. You want your home to work hard for you—and you secretly love the idea of hiding out down there for movie marathons or DIY projects. You own a label maker and a karaoke machine.
Walk-In Pantry
If you love a walk-in pantry, you’re the Quietly Organized Overachiever.
Spices alphabetized? Obviously. Cereal decanted into matching containers? Of course. Your kitchen is a calm, well-oiled machine, and you firmly believe that behind every great host is a pantry that could double as a mini grocery store. Your idea of a wild Friday night is reorganizing the snack shelf—and honestly, we respect that.
Fireplace (Especially One That Works)
If you love a fireplace, you’re the Nostalgic Romantic.
Fall is your season. You believe in slow mornings, handwritten cards, and marshmallows toasted just right. There’s nothing better to you than the crackle of a fire on a cold night—except maybe sharing it with someone you love (and a very cozy blanket). You’ve definitely said, “I just want a house that feels like a hug.”
We could go on, but you get the idea. Whether you’re a porch-swing person or someone who dreams of a garage with built-in storage for days, your favorite features say something delightful about who you are.
And the good news? We know plenty of homes that fit the bill. 😉
