La Casa de mis Sueños

Hey everyone! I am trying to write a paragraph about my "dream house" but am not sure if this makes sense grammatically or if I used the correct vocabulary. I would really appreciate some feedback! Thanks so much.

La casa de mis sueños es como ningún otro. Es grande y hermosa. Hay cinco dormitorios y cuatro baños. La cocina es espaciosa y acogedora. ¡Yo podría invitar a todo el barrio a cenar! La sala es atractiva y tiene cálida chimenea. Tiene un porche y patio trasero exuberante con flores bonitas. Hay mucho espacio para mis niños a jugar. Cuando estoy allí me siento como una princesa. Es un castillo moderno.

Thank you for your quick response!

I made some changes according to your suggestions:
La casa de mis sueños es extraordinaria. (not sure how to say what I had originally)

You're welcome.
You did a good job with the changes based on the hints I gave.

The new adjective you chose is fine; it matches the gender of the subject (la casa). Non-agreement with the subject was the problem with the original words.
... es como ninguna otra.

"Hay mucho espacio para los niños" would be fine, but "para los niños a jugar" is not the way we speak.
