When we moved to Indy and I realized the likelihood of us buying a newer house versus an older home, I made a list of things that were important to me (aside from charm) to help in our search.  At the top of that list was natural light.  Because to me, there is something so peaceful about light coming through my windows as I drink my morning coffee.  It brightens my mood, and I feel less cooped up on days that I don't get out of the house.
