The '''Crosswire Estate'''<ref>"[[D.W. Unties the Knot]]"</ref> is a large residence owned by the [[Crosswire family]]. It is located in the southeastern part of [[Elwood City]].<ref name="map"/> The most prominent feature is the mansion, which is commonly known as '''Muffy's house'''. Together, the house and the yard occupy an area of 16,000 square feet.<ref>{{refquote|The house and the yard are about 16,000 square feet. Knock off 10%, 'cause you're friends, and I'll rent it for this.|[[Muffy Crosswire]] to [[D.W. Read]] and [[Emily]]|"[[D.W. Unties the Knot]]"}}</ref>

The mansion is lavender and yellow with a turquoise roof (shingles had a darker tone in earlier seasons), brown front doors, and a balcony above the front doors. However, in season 22, the mansion‘s colors were changed to soft pink with a dark aqua roof and bright blue glass windows. 

[[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] and her family reside in it, despite her family being very small and she has only one sibling: her older brother [[Chip Crosswire|Chip]], who is attending college. Their chauffeur and butler, [[Bailey]] also lives there, and is a great friend of theirs. The Crosswires do not allow anyone to bring their pets (such as [[Arthur Read|Arthur]]'s dog [[Pal]] and [[Francine Frensky|Francine]]'s cat [[Nemo]]) into their mansion, but according to Muffy in "[[D.W., the Picky Eater]]", they have a [[Muffy's dog|dog]]. The mansion is located in Southeast [[Elwood City]].
==Appearance==
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 [[Muffy's hamster|hamster]], which was seen in "[[Poor Muffy]]". 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. According to ''[[Arthur and the Crunch Cereal Contest (book)|Arthur and the Crunch Cereal Contest]]'', there is an underground bomb shelter. 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.
