Flanders family - Household

The Flanders' house is situated at 740 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield and is next door to 742 Evergreen Terrace, home of the Simpson family.

The home phone number is 636-555-8904.

The house is a two-storey detached house with a connected garage. The house itself is pink-purple in colour, with red window frames and a blue-orange canopy above the front-door.

Inside the house, most if not all the rooms include religious imagery and photographs of the (late) Maude Flanders. The house is well furnished with expensive-looking furniture, which Ned claims he buys cheaply because it used to be "evidence from a murder trial".

The layout of the house appears to be similar to that of 742 Evergreen Terrace, with two front rooms and two back rooms. The basement of the house has been converted to a 'rumpus room', with a bar and snooker table (oddly since Ned later confess to being a teetotaler). The house also has a bomb shelter, a panic room and a secret room stashed full of Beatles merchandise.

Ned, Rod and Todd sleep upstairs. Rod and Todd share bedrooms, and there is also at least one spare bedroom where Bart Simpson slept when he was younger, which Ned later rents out. The garden of the house includes a patio and a barbeque and is often used for Ned's barbeque and birthday parties.

(Note: Although the house is generally labelled 740, in one episode it is at number 744 Evergreen Terrace, and since very early episodes of The Simpsons had 742 Evergreen Terrace at different numbers, it is reasonable that 740 Evergreen Terrace used to be different as well).
