This house is for the nature lover who enjoys all forms of art and sharing this knowledge with others. It was built with a self-styled Mother Nature in mind, a fairy godmother to the children in the neighborhood who teaches them skills they may not be able to learn at home. This person wants to bring nature into their home and be reminded of it in every room. However, true fairies don't despoil the horizon with tall buildings, so the living space of the house is a hobbit hole (sans round door).

The ground floor is a garden containing environment-friendly items. As a form of quick travel, there is a well that transports you to the furthest room. (This only works as an exit from the house for NPCs.) To preserve the harmony and secrecy of the home, the stairs can be unhidden with a floor switch and rehidden with a pullable torch. This occurs at both the top and bottom of the stairs so that you can get back out!

Each floor is decorated with a different theme. The first basement is Summer Sunshine and evokes feelings of a sunny day with a lovely breeze. The second basement is Fairy Forest. Sleep under the leaves so that you feel as if you were outside. The bottom floor is Starry Night Studio where the homeowner can practice her skill and give lessons to guests. I haven't added an inventing bench, but that would be a possible expansion. Here is the portal that our garden well connects to.

Btw, I tested the house with a visitor since there is no real door and I wanted to make sure it worked properly. The visitor was not able to walk down the stairs without being invited in by the homeowner, who walked up the stairs to greet them. They miraculously seem to know when there's a visitor on their lot even without a doorbell.
