I, too like the diagonal door. Mostly it just looks like a house that might
be on my block. The 1X plates over the lattice looks realistic. I liked the
steps with holes in them.
About the only thing I wasn't sure about is the left side of the house being
open like that. I wasn't certain if that was supposed to be a bay window, or
if the house was "cut" on the side like it is in the back. If it's cut, then
the crawlspace maybe shouldn't be complete on that side. In any case, I'm
sure it makes for better minifig access to (and view of) the interior.
