What would be a good midsize house for a vampire?

I think that will make a great vampire home, was tempted to do the same but my nord guy would cut my head off if I did.2 -
Chuck_Finley✭✭✭The Alinor Townhouse is my go to favorite house because I've seen it decorated a dozen different ways and it can look so dramatically different from player to player. No bright windows letting in tons of daylight either. Not too giant not too tiny. And one of the nicer homes available for just time and gold.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭You could also get the free Exorcised Coven Cottage house from the Halloween event. It’s in Glenumbra, near Hag Fen wayshrine.
I appreciate your suggestion, but this home doesn't hit any of the marks I am looking for in a home for my Vampire.
But I am curious. How do you get this free with a Halloween event?PCNA0 -

The Exorcised Coven Cottage is a medium player house in Glenumbra. To purchase this house with Gold, you need to complete the An Unsparing Harvest achievement (which can only be done during the Witches Festival) and Room to Spare. Not free but cheap at 250,000 gold for the size of the home after you have the achievements done.0 -

Yes sorry, I meant no real life money “free”.
And yes, it’s the best size house compared to furniture allotment. 200/400 with Plus makes the house very crowded and cozy. Imho all other houses look way too empty for their size compared to furniture allotment. I have swamp vampire (Louis and Lestat inspired) who sleeps in a corner of that house.#FiteForYourRite Bosmer = Stealth

✭✭✭✭My vampire merchant lives in the Gardner House in Wayrest. It's a really nice house with a good dark basement. I had to cover all the windows with tapestries or paintings, but it's nice, and it has tons of room for inventory and knick-knacks alike.0 -
Athyrium93✭✭✭✭For a smaller house that is easy to buy with gold, cyrodillic jungle house could make a great vampire home. It's always raining and gloomy outside, the inside is dark and cozy (and the wall beams are the perfect distance apart to use dark colored rugs as wallpaper without seeing the edges) the item limit is a bit low but it is small enough to make it work, plus the courtyard is larger than a lot of medium sized homes.0 -

✭I'm just in the process of vamping up Captain Margaux's, but that's a small home. It's a challenge for sure.0 -

✭My only vamp - the crazy old Breton codger styled after Sander Cohen - uses the Flaming Nix Deluxe Garret which may be small but, well, perfect for a sleep coffin and caged lunch. And (as he's also a Necromancer) for staging some precious experiments with bones and bodies and blood and all.
If he was interested in acquiring mid-sized property, he'd instantly buy the Velothi Reverie as it's dark and nicely sized and the goth-y Dunmer theme is just too seductive. But he currently isn't interested - his crazy af Altmeri Zombie girlfriend lives in a huge cancerous mushroom with many guest rooms and a fine lab so he can always visit her if he needs mores space.PC EU.

I don't think I would use the top floor for my bedroom. I don't care as much for the wooden floors, and prefer the cool stone, or tile, floors of the lower level. I also like being further away from the sun when sleeping.
As far as the top floor, that may be where I put my private Vampire rooms, and altar. Further away from people on the street, so less chance of detection. I may also hide the stairs up with a false wall, or bookcase, or tapestry, so it's not obvious there is even a top floor to my guests.
Ah, OK.
The only problem with putting it up there, if you sink it into the floor, will be that the table legs will poke through the floor into the living room downstairs.
I had to be careful how far I sunk a Vampiric dresser into the floor, which I was using to put a wash basin on, because the legs were poking through the ceiling and the legs on that are, obviously, far shorter than the legs on the table.
That's a very good point. If they only poke through a little bit, though, I could suspend a tapestry, or other decorative item, from the ceiling to hide them.
Or hang lights and crystals from them and make a chandelier.
They will probably poke through quite a lot, unfortunately, as the ceilings/floors aren't very thick.
But, yes, you could probably camouflage them.
Alternatively, I guess you could use the main room downstairs as a (large) master bedroom suite, with an ensuite in the alcove and then you could place the altar room in the room next to it.
Then you could put a kitchen, dining and living room on the middle floor and make the upstairs bedroom into a crafting room.0 -

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but I placed the table on the second floor of my current house, Serenity Falls Estate. And the legs did indeed stick through quite a bit.
I have visions of placing sconces on each of the legs, or some ambient lighting crystals or some such thing, and a decorative round something in the middle. It may make quite an impressive chandelier.
Or a ceiling fan... it does resemble one...
This is what it looks like. I was holding a brazier up to it because the ceiling area was so dark.
