1. hard surface floors
2. one open room - kitchen and family room - because it's practical with kids, and otherwise separate living and dining rooms - I hate staring at clutter
3. split master and kids' rooms - our master is upstairs and other bedrooms are downstairs, which is awesome on balance
4. en suite bathroom for the master - those old houses with 1 bathroom upstairs surrounded by 3-4 bedrooms suck
5. private backyard
6. walkable to at least some restaurants and bars and a park and school
7. walk-in closet(s) in the master - it's TTT having piles of your wife's clothes all over or spread out among 3 bedrooms because the closets are too small

a living room and a family room serve two totally different functions, much like a dining room vs an eat-in area in one's kitchen.
a living room can be thought of as a reception room -- where you receive guests -- vs a family room, which is for more casual day-to-day use by the occupants. it's akin to the old parlour. it's also used to display art, fine furniture, etc.
technically you shouldn't have company in your family room -- rather you'd receive them in your living room, dine in your dining room (or outside say on a patio) and perhaps the men would retire to the library/office for a drink or smoke.
you only wouldn't use the living room if you're not having people over frequently.
your family room would really serve the function of a media room, play room (unless you had a separate one), etc. the family room is more akin to a 2nd or "inner" parlour.

This is a rare moment where I disagree with you.
A well designed LR/FR can serve both purposes equally well without any significant compromises. It is difficult for me to imagine characteristics of a room that I would find preferable for entertaining that are not also desirable for when I am chilling with my family.
Insisting on a separate LR and FR is elevating form over function, at least given my preferences.

I’m not living in the past of what is proper etiquette of how to entertain or use rooms. Practically speaking, anybody with a house today that has two spaces that could function as living room/family room furnishes them identically with a bunch of couches, coffee table, tv etc. family room just has more clutter and stuff lying around because that’s where the family hangs out day to day but you clean up before people come over.
if anything, the front living room doesn’t have a tv sometimes which makes it even less practical as an entertaining space because so many gatherings revolve around watching sports. The family room looks exactly like the living room.
Every dinner party I go to tends to revolve around the kitchen before having dinner where people can chat and drink/eat apps while the hosts prepare dinner, and the kids play either outside or in the family room right there, so it’d be weird to be the front formal living room and not interact with the hosts and not be close to the food.
With the link of the house I had above, I can guarantee whoever buys it is going to have parties only in the back of the house by the kitchen and family room. The front living room is basically just a waste of space for show.

That's fine, though this is all incredibly TTT.
Anyone who furnishes a LR and FR identically is a fucking moron and has no idea what she's doing. Not that that's surprising -- most people have no clue how to furnish a house, and just buy up the latest GC trends.
If you're watching TV with people you'd do it in the FR, or alternatively downstairs in a playroom/rumpus room with pool table, etc. Gatherings for watching TV should be few and far between.
Hanging out in the Kitchen while hosts cook is such a horrible trend. I'd never dream of doing such a thing. I LOATHE going to parties where everyone congregates in the fucking Kitchen while someone spends their time cooking. Anyone who has a party like that is doing it completely wrong.

We are talking past each other a bit.
I acknowledge that LRs and FRs traditionally furnished different. What functional differences would there be in how you would furnish a LR and FR?
To me, it is every bit as important that my FR is furnished in a manner that is conducive to conversation among several people as it is to furnish a LR in such a manner.

less ornate and artistic, more durable, more comfortable/casual.
My FR would of course have a TV. it would have things like a large sectional couch, a less ornate fireplace, a warmer ottoman as opposed to an ornate coffee table, etc.
LR would contain finer furniture and art/collectibles. it would be meant as a room where you'd talk with your guests. it would have a more formal fireplace and no electronics. the detail would be more ornate as it would be guest-facing as opposed to family-facing, etc.

Location on train station with easy mfh access, good parks nearby, good restaurants nearby, good schools, acceptable size of house and yard, has parking and garage or space for a garage, reasonable taxes, good price and home seems like a good value. After all that (and I will never get all that), I would like it to be a Victorian with hardwood floors and an updated kitchen.
Yeah, it's not gonna be a Victorian.

Right. i mean they are looking in NJ. So an all white/asian/indian town on an NJT line that's only a 30-45 min ride to Penn is just a handful of towns.
The likelihood of finding a low tax, large move-in ready victorian home in their price range, which i believe is roughly $700k, is basically zero. Especially if they want to be in close proximity to a downtown with good restaurants.
For example, in chatham, which has a very highly rated school district, a train station and a few restaurants, $700k gets you a 3 bed 2 bath cape with a small yard.
Next door, in Madison, you have very good but not quite as good schools, slightly further train ride, better downtown and maybe you can get slightly more house for $700k though still something that no one will be impressed by.
Go 1 more town over in Morristown/Morris Township/Morris Plains, it's now about an hour or so ride to MFH, decent but "diverse" schools, robust downtown with restaurants and bar (though nothing walking distance in their price range). They could get a relatively large house in this area which would be a short ride to the downtown.
Randolph, very good schools, no downtown, high taxes, far train ride. They can get a larger home in this town for $700k.
If we go down the other train lines, it's a similar story. Millburn, Summit, New Providence, Westfield etc.
I'm very curious as to where they are looking.
