The approach to the A-frame passes a pleasant little garden, and there is plenty of potential for more landscaping on the rest of the lot.
The front door opens directly into the living area, with a washroom near the back door. Through an elegant arch, a spacious hallway leads to the stairs. Two large bedrooms open off this hall, and each has a private door into the main bathroom.
Upstairs is a mezzanine level. A small area is set aside for a third toilet, should this be wanted, and there is room here for parties, a studio or more sleeping space, as desired. A sliding glass door opens off the mezzanine onto a balcony at the rear, a perfect spot for stargazing.
The floor plan is very accessible, with everything at a glance. Basic Maxis furnishings are provided for up to three residents. If the upstairs is not in use, very little panning will be required.
There are fewer upstairs windows than I would have chosen, but it keeps the price down, and you can always add more if it's in the budget.
Just a note - people with Seasons will be snowed upon if they go upstairs - there is a hole. People without Seasons should have no trouble, except that ceiling lights cannot be placed on the mezzanine level. On the upside, there is plenty of natural light!
I played this house for about ten sim days, and found it very convenient. There is no custom content.
Thanks are much appreciated, and constructive feedback is welcome.
Enjoy!

A big thankyou to MTS2!
Updated info - I have found out that the boolpropping around the staircase doesn't close up the outside walls properly, and I think there is also a glitch at the balcony end with one of the sections of attic wall. Since I don't want to rebuild the house entirely to fix both these issues, I will leave it up as is. Use floor lamps at night upstairs, and enjoy the breeze!
