What I'm looking for in a house:
- A courtyard is a must-have.
- The interior should be divided into multiple rooms per floor.
- There needs to be an area for a workshop (preferably a basement or a barn.)
- The house should allow for an elegant, but eclectic decorating style.
- No manor-sized houses.

I am very adept at decorating houses with round walls but QI was quite a challenge.
Hunding's has a great yard and beach. Mathiisen has great room division and a pretty courtyard.
The Alinor Townhome is probably my favorite in game, I love the wood work but meh, I am poor so I will stick with what I have.

Most of the Townhouses I have visited use the alcove in the courtyard for a crafting area. It works but I like my crafting areas easily accessible. Just a thought.
Would be easy to delineate rooms with Alinor structural materials.

I was literally eating potato salad while reading this thread, did not fail to amuse.
I would really like to know which home you decide on.
I know you wanted multiple rooms but with dividers and creative use of space Autumn's gate could be a nice cheap and pretty house.

I'd probably go Velothi if I went Dunmer, so curved walls aren't a problem.
Not a big fan of Redguard (or Khajiit) architecture. Too limiting for decorating.

As for the Lunar Hall, I'm going through the game in order, so it'll be a while before I get that house.

Personally, I like the new Sweet Meadow property in Elsweyr. You can build the house you want, whether small or large. Benefits to building your own are many: have a single floor layout or not, have a beautiful entry with no loading screens, start small then go big, when you tire of it...just tear down and build another! By the way...if you don't like the landscape...pull up every plant and create your own beautiful paradise!

I have Mournoth Keep as my primary.
The only drawback is that being an Orcish house it is rough, but you can use normal furniture as well.
I use a combination of Alinor/Imperial/Telvanni furniture. The large Alinor bookshelf fits perfectly in the lower floor.
The courtyard is amazing, you can use a lot of space, even the rocky ledges can be used if you build ladders to them.
The house has a terrace where you can place crafting stations or training dummies. But I used the small space between the right stair and the rocky wall to build a forge. I like this house because it has room for a lot of creativity.
An other good thing is the amount of light the courtyard gets. Most of the time you have good weather, not like in other zones such as Malabal Tor, where it is mostly raining. The sunny weather allows for great courtyard designs with bright flowers and blossom trees if you like them.
Also, the house is very near a wayshrine.
