Another mini apartment house on a 1x2 lot; the floorplan is similar to Backdoor Lane 54 but not quite the same. It also feels a little more luxurious overall. The building has three apartments for 1, 2, and 3 sims (+ pets), a tiny garden in front and a swimming pool in the basement. There is a lift between the ground floor and the top floor and enough room for one rotated driveway in front (frillen's Invisible Driveway recommended).
This is *not an AL lot* (see Backdoor Lane 10 for info on non-AL apartments), but it's probably not hard to convert it into one – the apartments have only one door each and are completely enclosed by walls/fences.
Apartment 1 (ground floor):

1 x double bedroom
1 x single bedroom
1 x kitchen
1 x dining/living
1 x bathroom
This one has a balcony with access from the double bedroom; it's fully furnished for up to 3 sims and a pet or two. It doesn't come with any extras in terms of hobby stuff, but you could put an easel or chessboard on the balcony.
Apartment 2 ("middle floor" – first/second, whichever way you count):

1 x double bedroom
1 x double bedroom
1 x kitchen/dining/living
1 x bathroom
Has a balcony as well; comes with an easel and a telescope. Fully furnished for 1–2 sims.
Apartment 3 (top floor):

1 x single bedroom
1 x kitchen/dining/living
1 x bathroom
You won't be able to put a double bed in the bedroom even though it's relatively large, except if you use Inge's accessibility hack for double beds next to walls (look at simlogical.com). Fully furnished; includes a piano, a workout machine and a chess set on top of the usual basics.
I've just seen on the screenshot that I apparently forgot the phone in this apartment – one the wall between the bathroom/bedroom doors would be a good spot for one.
Playtested for basic functionality (just the building without furniture); stairs, lift and pool work fine. The basement is easy to view since the backside is real walls, not foundation.
This lot is shrunk with Mootilda's LotAdjuster (v1.1); you can easily enlarge the lot with that if your sims want more outdoor space.
Have fun!
Lot Size: 1x2
Lot Price: 95.580§
Additional Credits:
The roof recolour shown in the screenshots is by Neveah223; it is not included with the lot but I'm attaching it as a separate zip.

Install Instructions
1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
3. Install: Double-click on the .sims2pack file to install its contents to your game. The files will automatically be installed to the proper location(s).
- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.
