Grand Topal. ZOS did a tremendous job with the ocean and the lighting. I get chills just standing on the pier and looking out across the water. It's just so beautiful and peaceful. Of all the homes, that is definitely my happy place.

Based off of your personal opinion, what is your favorite house and why??

What's yours? You didn't share your favourite with us in your post, but you should add your own two cents to the discussion too! My faves are Velothi Reverie and Linchal Grand Manor.

To be honest I'd be happy if we could buy several copies of the same house, I'd just get Velothi Reverie several times. I already had three different builds at Velothi, first it was a Dark Brotherhood assassin home, then a Daedric cultist vampire home, and now it's a Vvardenfell Ordinator home. It's really versatile because it's a quintessential house. It has a garden, a basement, a decent sized ground floor, plus an upper floor, with several individual rooms which is rare in ESO. As a medium house, the item limit isn't that bad either compared to large houses (the Ebonheart Chateau for example is about 6 times the size of Velothi and still only has less than double the furnishing limit).

Linchal Grand Manor is a Renaissance/Rome lover's dream, the only proper Nibenese house we have (the snow globe doesn't count ). The garden is absolutely unique with its large flat areas of lawn and pavement (other homes often have elevations that disrupt the garden or they're full of random grass and bushes). The outdoor space is also pleasantly arranged (unlike Princely Dawnlight's odd angles and awkward shapes and stairways to nowhere) and has a good variety with the extra building, the gazebo with surrounding pavement, the central reflection pool, the back gardens along the wall. The interior has a good number of individual rooms, and the beautiful coffered ceiling is a joy to look at.

Linchal is far from perfect and the house itself is relatively small, so it really isn't one of the best manors in my opinion the way Velothi Reverie is definitely one of the better medium houses out there, but it still has a special place in my heart. I don't claim that these are the best houses, but they are and forever will be my personal favourites.

My personal favourite house is also Velothi Reverie. Its dark and the layout has its quirks, but as @bluebird said its very good for its size, and in combination with Flaming Nix Deluxe Garret (free porting to Mournhold) it makes a fine home.
I have all my crafting stations there, mages section with transmutation station in the basement, and I'm still adding - or rather adjusting - details to that home in spite of owning it for years now. If there was an option to get +50 slots, I would gladly do so for adding more details.

Moonsugar Meadow - the versatility of this place is beyond compare. It inspires creativity.

Close runner up -- Lucky Cat Landing. Cute, small and fun.

Mine are Hunter's Glade and Snowglobe for the big crown homes, Lunar Champion for the big ingame available homes, Gorinir for the large, Ald Velothi for medium, Humblemud for small and Inns I have no favourite

Autumn's-Gate as it's in the Rift which is one of my favourite locations and mainly because the size of it suits me just fine.

The Ample Domicile in Shadowfen works for me :

- Even without ESO+ it has enough furniture limit vs internal space to decorate it to an acceptable level.
- It has enough space for special, functional furnitures (all store chests etc.).
- It is on a "suburbs" of a city, near bank, crafting daily quest board and way-shrine.
- The style of this house (mud / clay house) does not bother me. I manage to decorate it nicely using Argonian / Wood Elf / Murkmire furnitures. And in fact, it looks quite nice !
- It is in Shadowfen. Most ppl seem to hate this place and therefore they avoid it. It suites me, as I like this zone and less ppl there makes it less laggy, overcrowded and chat seems cleaner / less toxic as a result.

Just purchased my first house since returning to the game after a long break, i got the Velothi Reverie house.

I like the idea of a basement - may look at putting cages in it, maybe a table/counter, turn into a kind of Frankenstein's lab, who knows?

No idea where to get this stuff, is there an ESO equivalent of IKEA that isnt crown store related?
