1920's Vintage Home Design ~ 1-click Foundation 3B/1B Foursquare, 45th in the Series

The forty-fifth house in my "1920s Series" - inspired by 62 Beautiful Vintage Home Designs from the 1920s - is the "Charenton," an American Colonial Foursquare with "6 Rooms, Bath and Dining Nook." The six rooms include a living room, small-ish dining room, kitchen with a dining nook, receiving hall, three bedrooms - each with their own closets, and a bathroom. Plus there is a back porch with a nice brick patio, a brick driveway, and a full basement. This is a very elegant build - it reminds me of many houses I've visited in the Charleston area.

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.)


A note about the dining room (which you can see better in the other pictures) - It is a bit small. Two of the chairs may not be accessible to sims because of the doorways/routing, using a smaller dinette set might fit better than the big dining table I used. Herb and Faith preferred to eat in the kitchen dining nook when they tested the house, and they were very happy with that


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), three closets, a settee, bookcase, dining booth, and a dining set. All appliances, plumbing and lighting are included. The telephone is located in the front Hall. The front door is burglar alarmed. The range 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 range 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! .

There is parking for only one vehicle - on the brick 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: 2x2
Lot Price (furnished): $58,249
