Luckily the things we looked for in a home made the ideal home office: lots of space, an extra room that wasn't a bedroom, big lot so we couldn't hear the neighbors even when they party, fast Internet. The house we ended up buying was perfect for our kids on the way 2 extra bedrooms, and a 500 square foot sunroom, but now that I work remotely it's perfect for that too. If it gets too distracting at home I can walk to 1 of 4 coffee shops.
