1329 Prescott Street - Halliwell Manor


1329 Prescott Street is the home of the legendary Charmed ones. It sits atop a spiritual and Wiccan nexus and can be swayed to either good or evil, giving a power boost to those that control it. The home has been owned by the Halliwell line for three generations. In the ownership of the sisters, the home provides a base for good and a shelter for the family that sacrifices so much to protect the innocent.


The home follows blueprints as carefully as I could possibly get it. There are some changes, such as the house being wider on the exterior to fit everything inside. Also, the front room has been left empty. At one point, Piper comments that Grams had a sewing room. When Phoebe and Paige move out, a room becomes the fitness room so that front room could become any of those things, depending on your needs. Also WARNING: the basement is inaccessible. I did not discover this until the house was completely done. The basement stairs placed with no problem and no cheats(at the very beginning of lot building, before I had the rest of the foundation). However, my sim was not able to go down the short flight and then down the long flight as needed. If you want to use the basement, just teleport the sim there. It is the ONLY part of the manor that is inaccessible which I have to say is pretty damn good with all the nooks and crannies, clutter, and non-matching sets with floorplans. If you don't like this, don't download. You have been warned.

















After a year of waiting (since the last one) I finally finished the manor and correctly! Thanks to missroxor, I decided to enter it into a Charmed manor contest (no results yet) which really gave me the inspiration I needed to get it done. Sometimes a deadline is all it takes! The version for the contest is a little different than the one I will be posting here. The contest version has no CC but is pretty heavy on the store content while this version is opposite, although most CC used is for aesthetics and clutter only. It is up to you to choose what you want.

For the items in maroon that the store no longer has; if you have them great! If not, they should be replaced by the game. As with most of the items, they are for decor. I highly recommend, at the very least, the build content, the stove, piano, and mini TVs. However, if you want the home to look as it does in pictures, you will need all the items listed.
