1920's Vintage Home Design ~ the "Chili" a Single Story Bungalow, 55th in the Series

The fifty-fifth house in my "1920s Series" - inspired by 62 Beautiful Vintage Home Designs from the 1920s - is the "Chili" a Single Story Bungalow with an Italianate architectural style. I tried to replicate the 'look' with as little CC as possible, so the front windows are not exact. (Feel free to CC-it-up when you get it into your game.)

Officially, this is a three bedroom home (and there are three built-in closets,) but that means the living room doubles as bedroom #3 every night (similar to the Chipley, 1920s Series House #53's floor plan.) Which seems awfully inconvenient to me. So, I'd rather think of this as a two bedroom house. And, as such, it is a very nice layout. I really like the bay window in the Master bedroom, and the kitchen is nice and big, with room for a small dinette set and a beverage bar. The stairway down to the basement is fully enclosed, and the basement is cavernously huge! Just for fun, I added the hot tub to the back patio. Enjoy



Please scroll through all the above pictures to see everything this house has to offer. Furniture includes a double bed, two nightstands - one with an alarm clock, a Murphy Bed, three closets, a beverage bar, dinette set in the kitchen, and the dining table. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The telephone is on the wall in the Vestibule. The front door is burglar alarmed. Both the stove and fireplace have smoke alarms.

And, I just realised a mistake I made... The closet in the vestibule should be mirrored (it says so right there on the plans!) But, I used the non-mirrored version of the closet. Sorry!


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.

There is parking for three vehicles on the long driveway.

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: 2x3
Lot Price (furnished): $60,631
