We are downsizing. This house has a lot less room in it square foot wise. Plus it has way less yard work for Al, which was our main thing. No more sprinklers, not much garden work...all perennials for both of us, and no painting because it's all vinyl with new easy clean windows. So, all in all it will be much easier for us to keep up. Even the pool is mostly self-cleaning.
We will settle for the upstairs downstairs for the other features.

Gran,
If you are looking for minimal upkeep, for those bare, grey wood railings, put some linseed oil (straight boiled linseed oil) on them with a sprayer or a brush. It will dry into a leather like surface on them, and keep the rustic look. Try just a pint on an out-of-the-way place with a disposable brush to see the effect. I have a fence with just linseed-oil for the preservative and it stops the wood from deteriorating any further, really.
