1920's Vintage Home Design ~ 3b/1b Craftsman Bungalow, 28th in the Series

The twenty-eighth house in my "1920s Series" - inspired by 62 Beautiful Vintage Home Designs from the 1920s - is another Craftsman Bungalow. This one includes a "Breakfast Nook" - the only obvious dining area - in the kitchen. (If I was the agent on duty I'd call it a Dining Nook ...why limit it to breakfast?) I agree with the brochure - the charm of this house lies in the wide front porch and the long sloping roof.


If I had recreated this floor plan "exactly" then the main/center wall would be moved 1T to the left... but then the bedrooms would be too small to hold a double bed. So, the compromise I came up with was to keep the bathroom, hall, and stairway configuration the same as original plan, and bump the bedrooms over 1T. Which means the front door is 1 tile off and the kitchen is 1T too thin - thankfully it is a large eat-in kitchen and had the room to spare. Any way you look at it though, that bathroom hallway area is gonna be a stompy-sim-nightmare! I wouldn't recommend playing this house with a large family!

The floor plan for the second floor of this house is not shown; so, I based my build off the window placement and roof-line in the picture. I found I had enough livable space up there to add a third bedroom. There is plenty of space left over up there to add another bathroom too (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)


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), and a dining booth. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The telephone is on the wall in the hallway. The front door is burglar alarmed. The stove has a smoke alarm.


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. 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): $32,089
