Coastal Family Home: 50 x 50, 3 BR, 2 BA
« on: July 07, 2013, 04:21:51 PM »

Name: COASTAL FAMILY HOME
Lot Size: 50 x 50
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2
Cost furnished: 203,252
Cost unfurnished: 106,781
EPs: AMB, LN, GEN, SHO, SN, SEA
SPs: NONE
Store: NONE

Built for bunso, based on a building request.  Up here for anyone to download and use however you'd like.  Please let me know if youd like to use it in a story or other project -- just because I'm curious!

Bunso requested a large-sized, single-story family home with a sort of beachy feel.  The house needed three bedrooms and two baths for a family with a teenage daughter and a baby daughter, who hope to form a band.  Here's my take on that request, with all of bunso's wishes and plenty of room to grow, especially up into the attic.

There is a large living room, kitchen and breakfast nook in the main part of the house, plus a small room for quiet studying, and an entertainment room for family bonding.  The living room has a number of frames waiting for family portraits or other adventures in photography.  The screened in porch holds all of the family's musical equipment for band practice, and leads to the spacious outdoor patio with pool, hot tub, fire pit and grill.  A formal dining room completes the entertainment areas.  The nursery is decked out in pastel florals, the teen's room is full of bright colors and the master bedroom with en suite bathroom is decorated in neutrals.  There is a two car garage with room for a workbench or other skilling equipment, and a door that leads to the laundry/mudroom.

Builder's note: While you can add stairs to expand to the attic, you will need to go through a frieze, so you'll have to place two staircases (one regular sized, and one short) just like when you try to go through a foundation to the basement.  Spiral stairs will not work.

Great!  Glad you like it. :). I did forget a hamper in the master bathroom but there is plenty of room for it so have fun adding things to personalize it for your Sim family. :)

I've downloaded the house, and I'm in awe. The pictures are great, but I think the house needs to be played in to be fully appreciated.

It is completely realistic as a family home. I have way too many favorite spots in the house itself, but I think the most endearing touch is the breakfast nook with domino table and coffee maker.

If I have any advice at all, I'd just say to add in more ornamental light fixtures when possible. Not because I dislike the buydebug lighting, but because the regular lighting makes it even more realistic.

An amazing build by an even more amazing builder; thanks for uploading!

Thanks for the comments, and I'm thrilled you like the house in-game as well as in the pictures. I love that breakfast nook too. :)  I just had to laugh at this part of the comment because I use the buydebug lights All. The. Time. mostly because to me it seems more realistic. :)  I guess I am used to houses with lots of recessed lights in the ceiling because whenever I try to restrain myself from using the buydebug lights I find myself thinking "who has all of these lamps in a house? this is ridiculous!"  But I will try adding more lighting fixtures in the next house!  I'll consider it a challenge!

Thanks again for the nice comments!
