“However, there is much more fun in the former, and it’s a place that I would likely keep for life ”
No offense intended. Have you ever lived in a large house with a larger than normal lot? Forget the price, I don’t think you really know. So far your “dream house” has a price tag, very impressive. Seriously, how many bedrooms, bathrooms, garage space for autos, and special purpose rooms make up your dream? Big is more than square footage. Whatever you buy now, will change. 5 car garage, 5 br, 5.5 bath? Squash court, tennis court, home theater, library, ballroom, home gym , home office, art room, game room?
Bedrooms start at 3, kitchen, family room, breakfast area, 2.5 baths. 99% of your time will be spent there. Ok, add a game room and laundry room.
My point, put some thought into what you really want. I didn’t catch a great deal of enthusiasm about the house.
If it’s 2 story, you won’t see the 2nd floor often. At $3mm, nice amenities don’t cut it. $750- $1mm you get some size and amenities. Two or three are great and some you will consider a big waste, even the size of some rooms.
In closing, price is no object, but it’s not going to mean to feel at home. Buyers remorse is terrible feeling with a $3mm price tag.
