Where Does Tom Nook Live?

[Raccoon Goon]

I'm the type of gamer who's always interested in the little background details of games, and this "little" detail (or rather, plot hole? Nintendo Logic?) has puzzled me ever since I got the Resident Services building.

I know neither Tom Nook nor Isabelle appear to actually sleep in the game, Resident Services is always open and they're always there. And yet Isabelle goes on about TV shows she watched last night and all... how??? When??? And if she has a place to stay, then surely there has to be SOME place where Tom lives, also? Where does the door next to Isabelle lead to? The second floor of Resident Services doesn't look very "apartment-ish"? I mean Timmy and Tommy probably live upstairs from Nook's Cranny, there are stairs behind the counter that lead up to the second floor. Blathers simply sleeps right there in the hallway of the museum. But what does Tom do? Does he live above Nook's Cranny as well? Or does he have a secret cloaked building somewhere on the island? How? Where? I kinda need answers. lol

i wouldn't be surprised if he lived with his nephews above nook's, it makes sense since the nooklings seem kinda young to me

He sleeps in the seaplane

There is a back room in Residential Services. He probably lives there.

I believe they're more like his adopted sons than his nephews (although people seem to argue about this all the time for some reason, the games seem to first state that they're his employees and then later villagers seem to say that he has adopted them), but yes, that's a very likely option for me as well.

OMG I hadn't thought of that! lol Right now I'm imaginging going off on an island tour while he sleeps in the back of the plane.

Yes, that would make sense to me as well. I mean he's Tom Nook, he always stays close to his workplace in all the games, so it would make sense for him to stay close in NH as well.
