A 3X5X3 hole in a mountain with a fence around the door and a sign ouside that said "In Here, Dumbass". I lost my way home a couple times.

My first REAL home was a regular 1 story house, then 4 stories up, each story with a small storage area. About a 50 block long bridge to my bedroom which had glass.

This was my first REAL home, not just a hole.

A hole in the wall, literally. I spawned on the shore with a fairly steep set of hills around me, a small ravine of sorts running partway up. Near the top of the ravine I turned to the vertical face of the hill and dug in. Expanded it quite a lot over the next days. A proper door, a back door added after some creepers decided my front door was a great place to take a smoke break, ladder to the top where I left the trees in place (though I made the other side of the hill as sharp a drop so things couldn't climb onto my roof), ladder down to my mines, a greenhouse/balcony with flowers overlooking the sea, a tunnel downwards at a 45 degree angle so I could get to the shore (where my farm was) in peace, a bridge across the ravine, just outside my door. I remember being amazed that the dirt bridge was slowly populating with grass from the edges in!

My first house was a ceilingless box of dirt with no torches, and only a stove for light. It was on an island at the center of an icesheet. Seeing as this was long before beds, I was teleported back to my spawn upon death. After dying for the first time, I searched desparately for my house, but to no avail. My second house was a huge tower, but I never found the old one, even after nearly a year of searching.

just built into a cliff face next to a lake. I found a small cave and just expanded and refined until it was a cozy little home. Found a cave in the back eventually and started using it as my mine. Wish i still had that house i deleted the world because i am stupid and do that sometimes...

pretty much a space I carved into the side of a mountain, several rooms added but as for an actual structure my first was a basic box shaped house made from sandstone on a foundation of rock

I dug a hole in a mountainside and stuck a door on it.
Were it not so close to my spawn-point I'd have had a hard time finding it every time I died.

My first was a hole I dug into the beach that I gave a couple rooms. It wasn't that great.

My favorite one was this sea-side villa. You had to go up some stairs to the entrance door. There was a double hallway that extended around a 7x7 courtyard with grass and a fountain in the center. The hallways led to the kitchen and work room on either side of the building. Both rooms had a door leading to the living room with a fireplace, book shelves, a stairway up to my room and a stairway down to the basement. In the basement there was a hall that led under the courtyard; the fountain was connected to an underground pool, there was glass at the bottom of the fountain to let light into the pool. The hall also diverged into a storage area that circled the pool, there were chests for every material I might come across. I had a harbor outside and was building a train station under the basement, it was pretty incredible.

I explored a ton of the world around the building before the 1.8 update. Is there a way I could copy the chunk with that house and paste it into a new world? I'd like to have a chance for villages to spawn somewhere closer to it. As is it would take me a 20 minute hike in any direction to get to new land generation.

I dug a hole into a cliff. It got pretty expansive after a while, with the addition of a tower that it connected to and a path leading to a cave.

I still keep some stuff there, though I've mainly relocated to a castle I built in the middle of a lake.

When I first started up a minecraft game I walked a little bit from spawn and found a nice little valley, kind of a roughly rectangular flat area with a steep cliff on one side and hills on the other three sides, and a small bit of water near the mountain. Instantly knew that's where I'd set myself up.

Started by making a quaint little wood shack at the base of the mountain near a cave that went into it.

Fastforward to today, and I've basically carved the entire mountain out into a giant multi-level stone fortress with its front facing the valley. The valley is entirely closed off with defensive walls.

But I kept the little wood shack by the base of the mountain. For nostalgia's sake.

my first ever minecraft home was carved out of an island (kinda, more of an aggressively small peninsula on a lake) and it gradually got added on to. I still have that world, and that home.

My spawn point was right next to the entrance to a huge cave system, so mine was a two-room small rectangular house. One for basically everything, and a tiny little side-room that went down into the cave.

The first home I count as an actual house is a hollowed out hilltop, with a farm/garden on the roof where cows and sheep keep spawning, trampling my crops and annoying the living crap out of me. I've kept it for nostalgia purposes.

A hovel made of mud, with two torches, on the side of a large mountain near a deep shaft. I eventually carved an underground and in-mountain palace into it, but that was many hours later. At the top of the shaft I found coal and iron, and Minecraft had begun.

I dug into a hill side, made a nice door, some steps, even a window. I stuck with it for awhile and made it wood floor with cobble walls and a little garden outside. Very nice for a first house actually.
