"Sunny Cottage" is a family home for those who like thngs compact. The block is small, the house is small. There is no wasted space; everything is within arm's reach.
The house is well-worn, but was built in the days when traditions of sturdy construction were still the norm. The aluminium sheeting is in great condition, and the window frames will be as good as new with a lick of paint!
From the street, the house is charming, with a picket fence, wrap-around verandah, palms and established shrubs.
Inside, the lounge extends towards the rear, with a study nook under the stairs. To the left, an arch leads to the dining area, nestled before a picture window. The attached kitchen is sized for generous country cooking.
At the back of the house is a double bedroom, with space for a cot or dresser. The downstairs bathroom is petite, with a laundry room which could become a separate toilet if desired. The laundry leads out the side door to the garden.
Upstairs, the attic contains a second bedroom, large enough for a double bed. The mezzanine provides a second sitting area, or could be used as overflow sleeping space when guests arrive. There is a small bathroom under the roof.

Lot Size 2x2

Notes for Players:This house is very similar to one I have on MTS2. That one is an even smaller house, based on the same plan, but has a private swimmable beach. (Just mentioning it, in case someone wants to take a look, and also to stop anyone saying "But isn't that the same as...?")
This version was made with the beach house idea too, but is more suburban coastal than waterfront.
The house is minimally furnished, with lights, double bed, table, 2 chairs, sofa, shower, toilet, kitchen, phone, fire alarm and bookcase. All by Maxis. The screenshots show the house fully furnished.
