It first appears in the episode "Late for Breakfast." This location also makes appearances in the SpongeBob SquarePants episodes "A Skin Wrinkle in Time," "FUN-Believable," and "Sheldon SquarePants."

Description
The house resembles a coffee pot, which is yellow with purple trim, with a TV-like stage set next to it, where Patrick hosts The Patrick Show! It is the main location of the series, serving as a backdrop for nearly every episode. The house is connected to a single street, from which passers-by can watch Patrick's show.
In "The Prehistoric Patrick Star Show," the coffee pot is replaced with a volcano. In "Mid-Season Finale," GrandPat uses the house as a vehicle to fight Granny Tentacles, who is piloting her own house.
Rooms
Living room
The living room is the entry point of the house, and it connects to the upstairs, the downstairs bathroom, and the kitchen. It houses the couch, which resembles a comb, and a TV. Another chair takes the form of a large flip-phone that displays "HELLO." There is an impossible trident resting against the wall.
Patrick's room
Patrick's room is one of the most frequently appearing parts of the house. It is used to host episodes for The Patrick Show!, contains the time closet, and is where Patrick and Ouchie sleep. In "House Hunting," it is shown that the room has a "mobile studio" mode, and that it can detach from the house and be used as a vehicle.

Bunny and Cecil sleep in the same room. It is known to have a bamboo bed, an oddly-shaped dresser, a side table with a lamp and alarm, and a framed picture of a pickle near the entrance.
GrandPat's room
GrandPat's room connects to the house's coffee pot. Much of the decor is themed after rocks and bones. It contains its own bathroom, a grandfather clock, a bookshelf, and a vanity. GrandPat's bed is a slab of rock, placed in an alcove decorated with cave paintings.
Kitchen
The house's kitchen is seen frequently. There are many irregularly-shaped cabinets, and the fridge is diagonally split in two. The window near the table is shaped like an oven door. It also has a sink, a window, and a fork hanging on the wall. The dining table has a purple tablecloth and five chairs surrounding it.

Basement
The basement is first seen in the episode "X Marks the Pot." It is accessed through a trapdoor in the living room, and a staircase leads outside. It is full of miscellaneous objects, such as a Big Mouth Billy Bass, unlabeled boxes, and a large battery. There is a tool shelf and a worn-out couch.
Attic
The house's attic first appears in the episode "Tying the Klop-Knot." Many miscellaneous items are piled in it. Bunny goes here to look for a wedding dress for her second wedding.
Man Ray's lair
As shown in "X Marks the Pot," the Star house was built on top of Man Ray's evil lair while he was in prison. It is a cavernous area built over a lava pit. The lair is full of Man Ray's costumes, tools, and memorabilia from his adventures.
Stache Stash
Appearing only in "Dad's Stache Stash," the Stache Stash is where various mustaches, mainly belonging to the Star family men, are stored. It is a grand hall with a checkered floor and mustache-themed decor. It is unknown where the Stache Stash is located in relation to the rest of the house.
Residents
Destruction
- "Mid-Season Finale" - The house was destroyed when Granny Tentacles wins the battle with her house but was later rebuilt.
- "The Drooling Fool" - Patrick's drool causes a flood that makes the house explode.
- "The Starry Awards" - Granny Tentacles smuggles a bomb into one of Patrick's awards, which explodes the entire house.
Intelligence
Just like SpongeBob and Squidward's houses, the Star house has shown sentience and has come alive on a few occasions.
- "House Hunting": The house grows chicken legs and runs away from its normal spot.
- "A Space Affair to Remember": At the start of the episode, it is shown snoring.
- "Fun & Done!": The house has a robot arm that it uses to pour Andrew Fishman's fun out.
Trivia
- The majority of title cards for The Patrick Star Show start out with a shot of this location.
- The house coming to life by growing chicken legs is likely a reference to the enchanted home mentioned in the folktales concerning the Slavic witch Baba Yaga which also had her house spring to life by growing chicken legs.
- Although it is called the "Star house" in the credits of "Backpay Payback" and "House Hunting," it is called the "Star home" in the credits of "The Patterfly Effect" and "A Space Affair to Remember."[3]
