Crosswire House



"It's not a palace, but it is big!"

- D.W. Read The Crosswires' Mansion is a lavender and yellow mansion with a bluish-green roof, brown front doors, and a balcony above the front doors. It is the largest residence in Elwood City, as it is about 0.3 acres (12,000 square feet.)

Muffy and her family reside in it, despite her family being very small and she has only one brother: Chip, who is atttending colleg. Their chauffeur and butler, Bailey also lives there, and is a great friend of theirs. The Crosswires did not allow anyone to bring their pets (such as Arthur's dog Pal and Francine's cat Nemo) into their mansion, but according to Muffy in D.W., the Picky Eater, they have a dog (this is considered to be Non-canon.) The mansion is located in Southeast Elwood City.

Description
The mansion has twenty rooms, a colossal yard, and a swimming pool. The chandeliers can be found in many rooms. Muffy's bedroom is very large and has a fancy bed, two windows, a fireplace, lamps, wardrobes, sculptures, and a tea table. Muffy also has her own pet hamster. The living room contains some luxurious furniture, a fireplace, potted plants, lamps, and a white grand piano. Their kitchen is very large and has rounder cabinets and countertops than the other families, plus they have a booth unlike the other families. There are dining rooms with tables and fancy designs. They have a study that has bookshelves full of books, and a computer desk. Their first computer in the early seasons was a '90s era computer with a CRT monitor, but in the later seasons replaced it with a 2000s era computer and a flat panel monitor. Muffy had four different mobile phones in the series: her first one was a purple '90s era mobile phone with the letter "M" on the flip cover that could represent the first letter in her first name, but replaced it with newer 2000s era mobile phones such as the Portilex 360 and most recently the MySmartPhony.

Vehicles
The Crosswire family is shown to own three vehicles: two automobiles and one bicycle. Ed drives the green station wagon to work and around Elwood City, and chauffeur Bailey drives the black Cadillac-based limousine to transport Muffy to school, sports games, a friend's house, and back home; and the limousine has a personalized plate with Muffy's name on it in all capital letters. Muffy also has a pink bicycle with black tires, a white seat, and a white flagpole with a yellow flag with the letter "M" on it. Her bicycle also has a remote control to lock up her bike when parked in a bicycle rack, plus fold down the flagpole.
