SpongeBob SquarePants' house

"SpongeBob, why? Why did you set me on fire, SpongeBob? Why didn't you just write your essay?! Stop wasting time!" - SpongeBob's house, "Procrastination"

124 Conch Street is the address of the pineapple house where SpongeBob SquarePants resides with his pet snail Gary and his pet scallop Shelley. The house is three stories high and fully furnished. It first appears in the pilot episode "Help Wanted." The house is in a suburban area of Bikini Bottom much like his neighbors and the Krusty Krab and Chum Bucket as some houses can be seen from his house and is located near Squidward's house and Patrick's house and is located on Conch Street. Despite the house being a short distance from the Krusty Krab and the Chum Bucket, the restaurants cannot be seen from the pineapple in the series.

The pineapple originates from land, when it fell off of a ship navigating above the sea, turning into a house as seen in the TV movie "Truth or Square."

The library is the largest room in the house and occupies both the second and third stories. It contains books such as Memories of T.S. Halibut, Cooking Without Salt, and Head Shrinking for Beginners!, as well as various comic books and SpongeBob's work diary. The library also contains a reading chair chained to the ceiling by a fishing hook, a huge pipe organ, a fireplace, a porthole window, and a spare closet.

Closet

There is also a closet in the room, in which SpongeBob stores his pants.

The season 5 episode "Night Light" shows that there is another bathroom attached to the bedroom.

There is also an escape hatch to the grassy roof of the house, which is seen in "Jellyfish Jam," "Something Smells," "That Sinking Feeling," "Love That Squid," and "Gary's New Toy." This terrace is hidden by the leaves atop the pineapple.

In several of the early tie-in video games such as Operation Krabby Patty, SpongeBob's bedroom is on the first floor as SpongeBob's house appears to only have one floor in those video games.

Roof

SpongeBob's third floor contains an escape hatch to the roof. Most of the time, SpongeBob climbs onto his roof to avoid various types of danger, although he also runs up his wall to the roof in, "Best Day Ever" where Gary is revealed to be at the top of. The roof contains one unfurnished room with no ceiling, and the wall is made out of the green crown of the pineapple.

Intelligence

Just like Squidward's house, SpongeBob's house has shown sentience and has come alive on a few occasions.

• "Procrastination" - SpongeBob's house can be seen on fire during SpongeBob's dream. It asks why it was set on fire, before then telling SpongeBob to stop wasting time and actually do his essay. In this appearance, the door simulates a mouth, while the upper window represents an eye (although the first floor window is not used as an eye).

• "Truth or Square" - SpongeBob's house can be seen sentient in the "Rubber Hose Rag" song in Patchy the Pirate's World of Rare and Rejected SpongeBob Clips.

• "Unreal Estate" - SpongeBob's house can be seen sentient during SpongeBob's flashbacks. It can be seen going down the slide with SpongeBob (crushing him in the process), taking photos in a photo booth, and playing pillow fight with SpongeBob. Although it has limbs like in "Truth or Square," this iteration of his house has no facial features.
• The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run - When SpongeBob finds out that Gary went missing, the house becomes sentient and shouts his name. Its appearance here has no facial features besides the giant mouth.
