💕 Celebrating Moms & Homes: What Mothers Want in a Dream Home Today

This week, as we celebrate the incredible moms in our lives, it’s the perfect time to explore what today’s modern mothers really want in a dream home.

Here’s what’s topping the dream home wish lists for moms in Dana Point, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Beach, and beyond in 2025.

🧑‍🍳 1. A Kitchen That Does It All

The kitchen is the heart of the home—especially for moms. Today’s dream kitchens are about:

• Oversized islands with seating for casual meals or homework time

• Ample storage, walk-in pantries, and custom organization

• High-end, reliable appliances that save time and energy
