This is The Halliwell Manor as seen on the TV show 'Charmed'.
Man oh man, the amount of times I've attempted to build this lot is just insane. I've finally come up with a version that I'm happy with though; an amalgam of the studio set used for interior scenes and the real life house used for the iconic exterior shots, without sacrificing too much of either, but coming up with a fully routable and playable house that makes sense.
The lot is wider to include a garage, because a four bedroom house without one didn't seem right, and there are now 3 full bathrooms instead of just the one seen on the show. The nursery was moved to the larger front room which I think was meant to be a sewing room but never shown, and the attic shape has been slightly altered to mould to the exterior. Apart from these and a few other minor differences to ease routing, the house feels relatively similar to what was seen on the show and is extremely playable.
So, I'm happy I can finally share this lot after countless failed attempts and much hair pulling, I hope you like it!

There are hampers hidden in almost every room, usually underneath a counter or a dresser. To get sims to collect laundry from them, direct a sim to do laundry from one of the 3 visible hampers, they should then go around and collect from all of them.
If you ever want to get rid of the laundry system you will need to delete the hampers too. To locate them, have a sim change clothes a few times in each room untill you can see where the clothes are being dropped into the hamper.
-The piano is made from two bookcases facing each other. Everytime you place the lot from the bin the bookcases will generate a few new books, sims will then autonomously want to read from them, which results in a route fail tantrum - you should empty those two bookcases everytime you place the lot to avoid this minor annoyance.
Attic: contains toddler books, gardening and alchemy skill books, and alcehmy recipes.
Kitchen: contains cooking skill books and all recipes.
Basement: contains handiness, inventing, logic and martial arts skill books.
You can see an ugly lighting difference in the frieze in some of the photos - I didn't bother to put lights in because there's a level skip marker there, so you won't actually see it in-game unless you pan down from the second level in cameraman mode.

Everyone else who has built this lot in the simiverse because I've probably nicked some of their ideas.
