1920's Vintage Home Design ~ Single Story Craftsman Bungalow, 30th in the Series

The thirtieth house in my "1920s Series" - inspired by 62 Beautiful Vintage Home Designs from the 1920s - is a one-story Craftsman Bungalow. It is "neat, attractive, ...and suitable to any location." The brochure assures us that "this type of design is a mark of progress in home building."



I was able to build this one pretty much exactly to plan, though I did make one personal-pet-peeve improvement (feel free to change it back if you disagree) I moved the doorway to the 'family rooms' from the dining room into the kitchen - it is just moved over by 1T. I would rather traffic flowed through the kitchen than through the dining room; I like a more formal dining room. This house is very small; as it is now, there isn't room for a double bed. But, the basement is huge! Build whatever you need down there. And, the yard is nice - there is lots of room for swingsets or gardening...


Please scroll through all the above pictures to see everything this house has to offer. Furniture includes a single bed, nightstand with alarm clock, a loveseat. and the dining table. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The telephone is on the wall in the kitchen. The front door is burglar alarmed. The range and fireplace have smoke alarms. The garage is not connected to the road, so, there are no arrival/departure animations for the cars; cars will teleport from the garage to the road.



This is a clean copy of this house/lot; no sim has ever lived here. The package has been cleaned with Mootilda's Clean Installer. Pictures were taken with Invisible Fire Alarms in place, but the lot is packaged without that mod. So, you will see the fire alarm over the range in the kitchen, and the fireplace in the living room.

Standard mods I use that are not necessary nor included - but were probably used whilst building/photo-ing/prepping this house for upload...
If you need help installing Numenor's Unlevel Wall #90, click this info button:
I use Niol/Moi's Roof Shader for brighter roofs
And, HW/Honeywell's A Little Greyer: Roof Trim Defaults
Then, if it's a Bespoke Roof recolor - it will be THESE adjusted versions by The Llama Park/Tumblr that you see used in the pictures.
(However, what you get in the packaged file, will either be the plain EA roof or the straight, un-modified Bespoke roof from the set here on MTS2.)
Maranatah's White Wall Top texture replacement
Moo's Turn On/Off Lights
Menaceman's Lunatech Lighting Fix
BeosBoxBoy's no-red-pause-mod
Nopke's Go Under Spiral Stairs mod for proper spiral stair usage
And, of course, everyone needs Numenor's CEP and SEP!
I also use FRAPs to take in-game pictures, and PhotoShop to clean/collage said pictures.
And, I highly recommend using gummilutt's Invisible Medicine Cabinet to add features to any mirror - as per her policy, it's not used or included in this lot.


Lot Size: 2x2
Lot Price (furnished): $31,646
