There are two things in life that make me feel extraordinarily understood: Nancy Meyers and the Enneagram. Truth be told, I already do plenty of daydreaming about which Nancy Meyer’s home I’d take up residence in if given the opportunity (call me, Nance!). Still, the millennial in me couldn’t help but wonder which desirable home would be prescribed for my Type 2 tendencies. The chic, historic Brooklyn Brownstone in The Intern? The coziest cottage perched in the Surrey hills? My very own vineyard a la The Parent Trap? It’s impossible to go wrong, but if you’re ready to daydream with me, keep scrolling for the Nancy Meyers house you’re destined for, based on your Enneagram.

Never one to jump on a bandwagon, Fours will appreciate the quirky, unique charm of the Rosehill Cottage, which doesn’t concern itself with high-end finishes or current trends that would be easy to replicate.
