Excellent. You have your list of specifications for your new house. Proximity to your workplace, within reason, should be up on the list of priorities. The less drive time, the more time for things you like to do. Having lived with my wife's mobility problem, I'd also give decided points for all-on-one-level. A stairlift is helpful, but one level is better. Any home can become your retirement home, even if you are young and don't expect to stay that long.
