If the Second Life prefab market was an arms race then Bethany Heart and Colleen Desmoulins from The Loft have just dropped the biggest nuke in the history of the platform and now every other prefab builder just completely freaked as a new standard has been set. Their newest creation is called The Wisteria and it is by far the most innovative and realistic house this writer has seen in a virtual world. Featuring a den, garage, dining room, kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, a gorgeous bathroom, a man cave and a kids room as well as an outdoor balcony the full furnished version of this house will require 2994 Prims. The good news is all the rooms are rezzable and as such can be deleted for space or what not.
Every seat in the house comes with multiple animations/poses and the user of sculpties and shading is as per usual top notch.
The level of detail and thought put into the house really begins to show once you enter the kitchen.
The kitchen island features animations for baking cookies, cutting vegetables, cleaning the floor or spilled milk as well as just talking and hanging out. You can do dishes, clean windows, wipe counters. The Stove actually features multiple rezzable foods you can cook inside the oven and on each burner and you can even see the details of the food inside the fridge.
The bedrooms is another area in which the level of detail and thought shine through. While the two adult bedrooms do feature your “Ye old humpin” animations there are also animations you’d never expect to see.

Each room features poses such as coming hope and showing you friends what you shopped for, chatting, watching movies, and much more and as far as I could tell you could have up to 4 people using these poses.
The bathroom is huge featuring a giant party shower, a huge bathtube, two sinks, toilet, seating in the middle and details everywhere.
The third floor of the build is what I like to call the man-cave. It’s actually the most empty of the rooms and that is fine with me. It features a couch and a pretty big TV. But it also has room for an air hockey table, pool table, or a good foosball table if such a thing exists in Second Life. For Iris and I we’ll probably be using it as our new workspace/photo studio as it has plenty of room.
The kids room is also on the third floor and features very well constructed furniture and if I believed in Second Life Children this place would be pretty awesome for them. More than likely though we’ll also be turning this into maybe a photo prop storage room and what not.
The deck is also very well detailed and actually features a ton of seating from the ledge seats to the four chair table. It even has animations to lean up against the rail. The house itself costs 8000L and weighs in at 504 prims. The fully furnished, very well thought out, and incredibly detailed version runs at 65,000L and as mentioned before is 2994 prims. But considering this is the last house you will ever buy in Second Life that isn’t nearly as steep as it seems.
