For buyers and renters on the hunt for a home, there always seems to be that one thing that stops you in your tracks and seals the deal to the perfect place. For me, the old engraving of a hunter and his dog on the front door of my tiny San Francisco apartment made my heart flutter. For my dad, it was the window seat in the front living room of his house that caught his eye.

Maybe it was the antique fireplace in your living room that called out to you — it was the perfect place to create a cozy reading nook and snuggle up in your favorite armchair?
Was it the light? A few skylights and big, open windows can make many a homeowner weak in the knees.
Or perhaps it was the perfect outdoor space? For many buyers on the hunt, a sunny spot to dine and relax in the summer is the one thing on their must-have list.
