First of all, @Envyfan I L*O*V*E this house! I also love the charm that the vanity brings to the bedroom, as well as the space you provide in the main living area. That is often lacking in starters, which usually barely have room for a loveseat and television OR bookshelf. Not always both.
The kitchen is small for my taste, but the layout, being open to the main living space, and having a back door really brings it up several notches for me. It's fully landscaped, which is a big plus. I often find myself placing starters into a new town and going into the lot to landscape, even though it isn't the house my Sim is living in.
Laundry: what to say. I have never played with laundry in game, but I never knew there was a clothes line option! That could literally be a game changer.
Finally, you angled the mailbox. A small touch, but one that I'm really fond of. All and all a wonderful build that I look forward to not only placing in my game, but Sim living in.
