Dream House

First of all I'd like to say that all of us have our own ideas and dreams about a perfect home, because "home" can't mean the same to everybody.

The most important disadvantage of living in a farmhouse or in a cottage, to my mind, is that it takes a lot of time to get to the nearest town, but if you have a car it isn't a problem for you.
