The House of My Dreams - LOH Contest Week #255 / La Casa de mis sueños - concurso LOH semana #255 (eng-esp)

Hello, my friends!

Very interesting questions from @irenenavarroart for this week's community contest #255.
Interesting because just yesterday I was talking to a friend about something similar. I told her that I'd always dreamed of having a huge house, even a mansion, since I was a child.

But that was when I was a kid. I'd love to have one as long as I had enough money to maintain a house like this.
My current self is more practical. Right now, I'm happy with a 3- or 4-bedroom apartment. One for each child and one for @elviguitarra and me.
An apartment like the one I have, with an ocean view and a good location in the city. It's practical, not luxurious.

So, to answer the question, I would choose the small house (as long as it has what I asked for above) even if it costs more. It doesn't matter if the big house costs less.

I would have to spend money and time repairing it and getting it to my liking. Money I would have to spend again over time, as these houses tend to be a money sink for maintenance.

I know that, because I love that kind of restoration and repair work. I'm good at it. But I only do it for fun when a friend needs it. Not out of obligation.

Once upon a time, I would have chosen the first option, the big, beautiful house. The offer is tempting.

But today, I choose the second, more practical option.
What do you think? I'll read your answers to see who I agree with.

Hola, amigas mías!

Muy interesantes las preguntas que nos trae @irenenavarroart para el concurso de la comunidad de esta semana #255.
Interesante porque ayer mismo estaba hablando con una amiga de algo similar. A ella le decía que siempre soñé desde niño en tener una casa enorme, una mansión incluso.

Pero eso fue cuando era niño. Me encantaría tenerla siempre y cuando tuviera el dinero suficiente para poder mantener a una casa como esta.
Mi yo de ahora, es más práctico. En estos momentos me conformo con un apartamento de 3 o 4 cuartos. Uno para cada niño y uno para @elviguitarra y yo.
Un apartamento como el que tengo, con vista al mar y bien ubicado en la ciudad. Es algo práctico, no de lujos.

Entonces, para responder a la pregunta, elegiría la casa pequeña (siempre y cuando tenga lo que pedí arriba) aunque cueste más. No importa si la gran casa cuesta menos.
Tendría que gastar dinero y tiempo en repararla y ponerla a mi gusto. Dinero que tendría que volver a gastar al paso del tiempo, ya que estas casas suelen ser un agujero negro de dinero en mantenimiento.

Eso lo sé, ya que me encanta ese tipo de trabajo de restauración y reparación. Se me da bien. Pero solo lo hago por placer cuando algún amigo lo necesita. No por obligación.
En otra época hubiera elegido la primera opción, de la casa grande y hermosa. Es tentadora la oferta.
Pero hoy, elijo la segunda y más práctica opción.
¿Qué les parece? Leeré sus respuestas a ver con quienes coincido.

Maintaining a large house is really difficult, just cleaning and preventive maintenance of the structure and plumbing systems, lighting and all that. HUGS!

In my experience, a bigger house means more things could go wrong.
I stuck to smaller easy to maintain home.
Be practical 👍

I think the same as you, and I have a small house.
But those mansions and villas are very, very attractive 😁
