Skyrim:Breezehome

right|thumb|Entryway and kitchen Breezehome is the first home offered to you during the main quest. Breezehome is the cheapest house available for purchase in Skyrim, but it is also the only house in Skyrim that does not have an arcane enchanter.

It is conveniently placed just inside the entrance to Whiterun, next to Warmaiden's. This makes Breezehome useful for a character who frequently uses Smithing, as a full set of the stations are right next door.

To purchase the home, you must first complete the Bleak Falls Barrow quest for the Jarl of Whiterun. Upon completion he will permit you to purchase the house from Proventus Avenicci for 5,000 gold. The total cost of the house (including all upgrades) is 6,800 gold, or 6,550 gold if you have Hearthfire installed and choose to forgo the alchemy laboratory in favor of a children's bedroom.

If you are having trouble finding Proventus you can get a quest marker on him through a miscellaneous task given by his daughter Adrianne Avenicci, who can usually be found outside of Warmaiden's, just inside the gates to Whiterun.

If you have completed Dragon Rising, Lydia will be appointed as your housecarl and a small bedroom will be added upstairs for her. Her bedroom includes a dresser, an end table, a sack, and an owned bed.

Once purchased, Proventus will provide a book, Whiterun Home Decorating Guide, which details the various house upgrades available from him. Proventus will only sell upgrades while actually inside Dragonsreach. If he is on the Great Porch or his bedroom, the option to decorate your house will not be available.

If the Stormcloaks take over Whiterun, Proventus will move to Solitude and no longer offer you any upgrades. Instead, Brill will be able to sell you upgrades in Dragonsreach after that.

It consists of only one zone, which is the interior.

House Items
left|thumb|Master bedroom from doorwayWhen first purchased, prior to any upgrades being bought, it is dirty, covered with dust and cobwebs. It has a double bed and an empty chest upstairs. Downstairs there is a long wooden table and bench. The only other items are crates, a couple of unusable chairs and an unlit firepit. If you have already been made a Thane, Lydia's room will already be fully furnished, cleaned and walled off from the rest of the loft. There are no other internal walls.

There are items that are in the house when you purchase upgrades (see below).

The apothecary's satchel contains some rare ingredients.
Two iron greatswords and one iron shield are placed on a shield plaque above the bed after you purchase the bedroom upgrade. The other plaque and racks are empty upon purchase.
 
House Upgrades

Notes
right|thumb|Alchemy labright|thumb|Child's bedroom
This is the only purchasable home in the base game that you do not have to purchase in order to become thane. If you complete the quest Dragon Rising while Balgruuf the Greater is jarl, you will become thane, with or without Breezehome.
You may want to remove books from the bookcase in the Alchemy Lab before converting it to a Child's Bedroom with the Hearthfire add-on. Books will remain in the room and the ones from the bottom shelf will be under the bed, rendered inaccessible.
The apothecary's satchel is safe. if you replace the Alchemy Lab with the Children's Bedroom, it will still hold the same items when reverted back to an Alchemy Lab.
The contents of the chest on the floor in the Children's Bedroom are emptied onto the top chest and remain there, should you change back to a Child's bedroom. 
Other than exceptions outlined above, all other containers are safe and non-respawning.
Adopted children living here will have unique dialogue comments about Whiterun:
I like it here. The tree in the park is so pretty! (girls)
''Braith is a big meanie. She keeps telling Lars' n me what to do. I don't wanna play with her anymore. (girls)
I played with Lucia in the park today. I feel sorry for her. (girls)
Dragonsreach is so cool! All the kids there are mean, though. (boys)
Lars is such a milk-drinker. He can't even stand up to a girl. (boys)
If you ask your spouse "How are the kids?" they will reply with one of the following, depending on their voicetype:
As well as can be expected. Dear, this house would work for the two of us, but with children? We need to find a bigger place.
Just fine. Whiterun is a lovely city, and there are so many other children here- they all love playing together.
Couldn't be better. Whiterun is perfect for a child- great weather, plenty of space, friends to play with. What more could you want?
Fine, fine. Plenty of kids here to play and spar with. Plenty of trades to learn. It's a good place to raise a child.''
Initially, the player was going to encounter a squatter, Terek, in Breezehome, but he did not make it into the final game.
