742 Evergreen Terrace is the Street Address of Fictional family The Simpsons in the Cartoon of the same name, created by Matt Groening . The street of Evergreen Terrace is in the city of Springfield . DESIGN The house is shown as a pink-orange two-story detached house with an attached garage, basement, and loft. On the ground floor, the front door leads straight into the hallway, with one arch in the wall to the left, leading to the Sitting Room , one to the right which leads into the Dining Room , a small cupboard and the stairs to the first floor. The sitting room and the dining room, have Bay Windows . At the back of the house is the living room and the Kitchen , with stairs that lead to the basement. The second story of the house has Marge and Homer's bedroom (with an Ensuite Bathroom ), Bart's bedroom, Lisa's bedroom, Maggie's bedroom, a bathroom and some 'empty' rooms, often shown in inconsistent places in different episodes. On the landing, there is a hatch which leads to the attic. The kitchen features a side corridor leading to the back of the garage and a rarely seen second living room. The back garden of the house is surrounded by a wooden picket fence and a low box hedge, and features a patio and the treehouse that the Simpsons' annual "''Treehouse of Horror''" episodes take their name from. FEATURES AND FURNITURE According to one Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror episode, there is a portal behind the bookcase in the sitting room that leads to the Third Dimension. This is a reference to the Twilight Zone episode 'Little Girl Lost'. Since its only appearance was in one Treehouse of Horror, it isn't Canonical . The basement always includes a Washing Machine and a Clothes Dryer and a large Olmec statue of a head, which was a present from Mr Burns after Bart donated blood to him. However, the appearance of other features such as a furnace, Ping-pong table, air hockey set and Water Softener vary from episode to episode. The basement is often used as a ' Secret Lair ', where Homer has brewed alcohol to beat Prohibition , hid his superhero operation and where Marge hid during a spell of Agoraphobia . CURRENT STATE The house is now five miles away from where it was first built due to "Plan B", where, to avoid pollution, the entire city was moved down the road. This is believed by some fans to explain some inconsistencies such as the layout of the basement. The house itself is often shown as dilapidated; the walls are painted with Lead Paint , the roof leaks and in one " Episode ", the kitchen was so badly damaged that it needed to be rebuilt (the rebuilt kitchen is not considered part of the show's continuity). A Running Gag is that whenever the camera pans between floors or rooms, the interior of the walls are shown to be filled with dangerous and unusual items such as Asbestos , Toxic Waste , hidden treasure and baby Dinosaurs . However, it is usually kept neat by homemaker Marge and in one episode was described as a palace by Frank Grimes . The house frequently suffers major damage due to attacks, accidents and negligence, including:
