re: Custom house - stuff you forgot

Our home was custom built 10 years before we bought it, and I can give you the perspective from the 2nd owner. 
-More outlets in the garage. Ours only has 2. Added 3 more a couple of years ago.
-More closet space than you think you need.
-Wood burning fireplace. We have a gas one and it is terrible and we never use it. It's an eyesore in the living room.
-Stay away from trendy, decorative enhancements. Our house was a "showcase" house of some kind when it was built, and the builder put a bunch of designer customization into it. A lot of it is now outdated and has been expensive for us to replace.
-If you do a bonus room of some kind, go ahead and finish it. Ours was, but I have a couple of friends that didn't when they built a house and immediately regretted it when they moved in.
-Insulate the garage.

Washer and dryer in master closet, saw this in a bachelor pad and its probably the smartest feature I've ever seen. Doing laundry sucks, it sucks even worse when you have to drag it all over the house.
