I was originally inspired by pancake101's Lot 4 Under Construction in spring 2020. I asked for permission to try my hand at making a "finished" version. Safe to say, that idea snowballed completely and the result is a different mansion that is one of the largest homes I've ever built. I know I build slowly, but this one really tested my patience, thanks to numerous creative blocks and TS2 distracting me again and again. Nonetheless, let me walk you through the home!
If you turn off Puddlewick Drive onto a tree-lined road, you'll reach the gates of the Puddlewick Estate, for decades the home of the family that gave so much to Twinbrook. The huge property has no direct neighbors and backs up to one of the rivers, and you certainly pay for that privacy. Beyond the gates, you'll find a historic Georgian mansion that has been expanded and modernized, while still retaining some of its beautiful, old rooms. The property has much to explore, with a wrapping back porch leading out the luxurious pool and pool house, numerous gardens, and even a basketball court. The family plot flanks the east side, and if you look carefully there is a mysterious shack that neighbors have never quite been able to figure out the purpose of. An addition with an attached two-car garage and side entrance was added after the original home wasn't large enough for the family.
Head through the front door into the large foyer with a grand staircase. To your left are two of the oldest, best preserved rooms in the house: a private study and a tea/sunroom. With their dark wood paneling, these rooms give a glimpse of the house's original character. Behind the foyer is the multi-story family room with views to the back yard and pool. If you turn right from the foyer, you'll see the beautiful dining room with extra entertaining space. Local legend says the Puddlewicks held lavish parties and had the best nectar collection in Twinbrook. The rest of the first floor includes a spacious kitchen and pantry, breakfast area, access to the garage, one full and one half bath, and a laundry room.
Upstairs, a landing area hangs over the family room, and leads to the elegant main suite, and two bedrooms with private bathrooms. There is a nursery with its own bathroom in case your family is expecting. Past that, the game room is perfect for teenagers, children, or adults with ping pong, a flat screen TV, darts, and other activities. Above the garage the owners built out a guest bedroom, presumably for young adult children home from college or the occasional visitor. That room, too, has its own bathroom, bringing the total up to 7. An unfurnished attic completes the upstairs.
Phew. if you made it this far just know I'm thrilled to be sharing this with you all, and I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed building it. I wish could finish my TS3 projects faster, but at this stage of my Sims career, I know my own tendencies, not to mention life getting in the way.
This house has been playtest, checked with CUSTARD, and the uploaded file has never been occupied. The file is CC free, though there are a few items pictured and recommended.

Important Lot Info:
I built this house in Twinbrook. It is perfectly flat and can be placed anywhere, but if you want to replicate the look and feel, you'll want to use 26 Puddlewick Drive by the river. Additionally, after I completed the lot I learned there have been other uploads using the Puddlewick name. It is not my intention to copy those lots. Any similarities in title can be attributed to the location in Twinbrook being a great place for building.
Lot Size: 60x60
Lot Price (furnished): $591,896
Lot Price (unfurnished): $277,183
