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.

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.
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.
Ahhh yes. I remember it well. It was a little box dug underground as the sort of main room, but I put all my time and effort instead into making a giant dirt tower thing as high as I could go. I can't remember what it was for, but I could say I had a giant dirt tower thing. Then I built cobblestone walls around the tower and the underground room, added battlements, felt accomplished. Then I turned the difficulty to normal, and the first that happened was a skeleton killing me by standing on a hill overlooking the wall.
I had a little cobblestone shack by a hole or something. Yeah, I had help with all of the crafting and stuff, so I had cobblestone by nightfall.
I set up on a beautiful beach that had a wonderful seaside view and surrounded myself with those little tiki-torches. I felt safe and sound even at night, until a swimming creeper made me homeless 
I wanted to be a bit different, so I built a pyramid of dirt, then dug under and hollowed it out fromt he inside. then I made it so it had a door.
Heh, I got it completely wrong and got stuck at the top of a mountain at night - instead of tunnelling, I carefully fortified the mountain top... well, ok, I ran around in circles spamming torches and punching creepers in the face screaming 'why?!', but by sunrise that mountain-top was encircled by a 2 block high wall of dirt and covered in feathers and bones from the dead. That was a good first nightoplinger said:
These days I've been getting a decent mining bunker, complete with front door, set up in the first day - aiming to get glazing around the door sharpish for security. It takes a surprisingly small amount of time to get the first steps done - especially if there's an exposed coal seam nearby!
started off as a dug out in the side of a small island. I later flattened the whole island down and turned it into a castle with a lighthouse and on-roof farm.
Later added a dock for my boat, and expanded the island so i could walk to the mainland etc.
