Family Name: Capone
Name of Home: Capone Mansion
Family Members Residing in Home: @elijah, @meridian, @casper
Community: England - Birmingham Specifically but hey...
Description of the Home: The outside of this mansion looks a lot like any other English mansion. It's not old, by any means, but it looks like it would be hell to break into if you tired, and you'd be right. It has everything that they could possibly need, and Elijah's habits of taking in the stray Walkers... Well they have plenty of room for them. He also says that there is plenty of room for anyone that chooses to be there in the kitchen, because Merlin only knows that they don't actually cook all that often. Unless someone suggests that Meridian can't do something... In that case he says you better just watch out.

Family Name: Carrow
Name of Home: Belgrave Square
Family Members Residing in Home: @shi and @carrow and a house elf
Community: London
Description of the Home: Located in a high class residential area in London, the townhouse seems to be from the outside exactly the same as all the other white stone, three floor homes. However, it's fitted with extensive undetectable extension charms. The house actually has five floors, and though it's not as big as the Rowle or Carrow estates, it's large enough for a busy young couple who will eventually move to the main estate anyway. 
The basement is a mystery, a place most guests will never enter. The garden floor gives entrance to a foyer and a gallery, from which one can enter a small bathroom, the office, or pass through the kitchen to the sunroom and the garden. One floor higher is the main living space, with an ample living room and the dining room and view into the sunroom or gardens from above. The third floor is reserved for the couple only, as the master bedroom is located there, connected to a sitting room, the large bathroom, and two walk in closets. Guests, however rare they may be, will stay in the fourth floor, where the guest room with en suite bathroom is located. It shares a floor with the nursery, its own bathroom, a small sitting room and a second office. The final floor has a front and a back terrace, the large library, a study that is now a potions lab, and various closets. The small corner room left over is where the house elf is designated to sleep, a somewhat larger space than the small cupboards the house elves at the two main estates get but better a comfortable house elf than a moody and inefficient one.

Family Name: Travers
Name of Home: Crossridge Hall
Family Members Residing in Home: @darthlumiya
Community: Lancashire
Description of the Home: The house is impressive, built in the Jacobethan style. The grounds are extensive, 2,000 acre total, 1,000 of it being parkland and gardens, with the stables being near the treeline of the woods belonging to the estate. In the ground floor there is the Saloon, the State Dining Room, two libraries with more than 6 thousand books each, the Music Room, the Drawing Room, the Smoking Room and a huge kitchen. There are also 12 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms in the first floor, with further forty bedrooms and twenty bathrooms in the second and third floors. The second floors holds more dining rooms - though smaller -, four sitting rooms, three offices and the nursery. The third floor, restricted to the family only, holds the most amount of bedrooms, three drawing rooms, a sunroom, private laboratories for potions, the Painting Hall, the Tapestry Room and a locked door with a narrow staircase that leads down to the basement - where the dungeons, wine cellar and servants quarters were located. In total, the house counts with close to 200 rooms, though most of them are closed off and in need of repair. Considering that the house elves are mostly mad, it's unlikely that they will be restored any time soon. It has strong wards and muggle-repelling charms, as well as nasty blood wards that are most likely illegal.

Family Name: Parkinson
Name of Home: El Aleph
Family Members Residing in Home: @fernando and @pansy
Community: Norfolk, England
Description of the Home: The house isn't the main estate of this branch of the Parkinson family, not even one that had been in the family for long. Theseus Parkinson bought the place for his first wife, Juana, and it had been gifted by him to his son Fernando after Juana's death. The house is the largest in Norfolk, measuring overall 190 feet by 130 feet round a courtyard plan, done mainly in Elizabethan style. The older part is built in coursed, squared buff sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings; the later work is in ashlar sandstone. The whole house has a roof of Welsh slates. It faces an artificial lake and it's surrounded by extensive grounds of over one 1,000 acres, with beautiful gardens occupying 15 acres of it, pathways, four greenhouses, a conservatory and deep woods by the back, good for hunting during season. The first floor has the Entrance Hall, a Drawing Room, a State Dining room, a Music room, a kitchen and the Long Gallery - a room full of paintings, sculptures and tapestries of family members, along with the wands of dead witches and wizards displayed. The two upper floors contain five bedrooms each, seven bathrooms - four in the second floor and three in the third. The office, smaller drawing room and the sitting room are all in the second floor, whilst the third floor has only a potions laboratory and a library. The basement used to have cells but Theseus had them all turned into a huge cellar.

Family Name: Nott
Name of Home: Stygian Hall
Family Members Residing in Home: @theo , Serafina Nott and Medea Giovana Stone
Community: Cornwall, England
Description of the Home: The great house stands in extensive grounds of 890 acres above the River Fowey designed to a four-sided layout around a central courtyard and constructed of grey granite, having belonged to the Nott family for centuries. It was given to Otis to live in as the second son and became the seat of the secondary branch of the family. Most of the property around the house proper is taken by woods, since no one thought it important to build gardens on it. There's a lake just past the huge marble and stone gatehouse, which used to be good for fishing. After Lady Serafina moved in, though, it's not recommended to get even close to the dark waters. The first floor contains the kitchen, State Rooms such as the Entrance Hall, dining room, smoking room and drawing room, the servants quarters, the cellar and the Stone Hall - where the family portraits and tapestries are displayed. The first floor contains the day nursery, the night nursery, five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a schoolroom, a library and an office. The third floor is the family floor, containing four bedrooms, the Lord's bedroom, the Lady's bedroom, a drawing room that was re-purposed as the Butterfly Room for Lady Serafina, an airy breakfast room that now serves as a laboratory, an office, six bathrooms and a Gallery, where Lord Nott now displays his collection of artefacts.
