1920's Vintage Home Design ~ 1-click Foundation Dutch Colonial, 37th in the Series

The thirty-seventh house in my "1920s Series" - inspired by 62 Beautiful Vintage Home Designs from the 1920s - is of a Dutch Colonial style with a full basement, driveway, patio for a grill, and a nice big yard. I think this would be a terrific family home, a great place to "grow up". The rooms are well proportioned and the yard is just beggin' for a jungle gym and some swings

This lot has been adjusted with Mootilda's GridAdjuster to have a cute little 1-click foundation. AND it has a basement (a regular dug-out basement, not a no-slope/page-down-to-the-Nether basement.) It is also Big Dog approved (Thanks to Shasta and Huge Lunatic.) Architecturally speaking, this house is just a big box with a decorative roof treatment - but, I am kinda pleased with myself for getting the round roof bit to co-operate over the front door and I like the split-staircase inside too.

I hope your sims will find this a comfortable home and enjoy living here. Enjoy!




Please scroll through all the above pictures to see everything this house has to offer. Furniture includes a double bed, a nightstand with an alarm clock, large armoire, closet, loveseat, and a dining set. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The telephone is on the wall in the living room. The front door is burglar alarmed. The stove and fireplace have smoke alarms.


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 stove in the kitchen and over the fireplace in the living room. Pictures were also taken with the Invisible Driveway, but the lot is not packaged with it. I highly recommend both invisifying options! .

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): $34,916
