What would be in your dream house?

When I was little and imagined my grown-up dream house there was one thing that I made sure was included: a slide from the top floor down into the basement that was actually a giant ball pit. This wasn't a one time idea....I held onto this for many years. But over time I realized this may not be so great. Here is why: in my mind this ball pit was HUGE. Like you would be swimming around in there. But then I realized that you couldn't swim in balls and if its that deep you could drown. Or I guess suffocate? Either way, what a terrible way to go. So the idea got the boot.  This amazing staircase reminded me of that dream. But it seems much safer. Debatable if its more fun, though.
