Magnificent Mansion is a wonderful spell 5000 square feet of luxury for up to 100 people. But what about something more humble? Something for a wizard who can't afford their own tower in the big city or travels a lot. What level should this spell be? (And what modifications would you make?)
Spell level ??? Conjuration
Casting time: 1 min
Range: touch
Duration 24 hours
Components: VSM (an ornate key worth at least 50 GP)
When the casting of this spell finishes, You press the Key into a wall or other vertical surface at least 10 feet high and 5 feet wide and a door appears on that surface around the key that leads to an extradimensional dwelling for the duration.
The door has a lock that matches the key used when casting the spell and any copy of the key may unlock the door once it has been summoned (no minimum GP value). The door can be locked and unlocked from the inside without a key. The door itself offers no special protection. The lock can be picked by a character proficient with thieves' tools (DC 13) or broken down with a strength check (DC 16).
On the other side of the door is a modest home consisting of 3 rooms each filling a 10 ft cube. The rooms can be arranged in the order you wish. The temperature inside is comfortable. The first room contains a wood burning stove, a table, and four chairs. The second room contains a bed and a chest of drawers. The third room is empty. Any of the objects created by the spell disappear in a puff of smoke if removed.
The spell may be cast again on the same location while active to reset the duration. If the spell ends, is cast on a different location, or the surface the spell is cast on is destroyed, creatures and objects inside the extra dimensional space are expelled harmlessly into the nearest unoccupied space and the door disappears.
(Maybe add longer duration for higher level spell slots)
TLDR, take mordenkainen's Magnificent mansion and
•reduce area by 94%
•no feast
•no servants
•limited furnishings
• but you can re-cast to reset the duration if you are sticking around the same place for a while. Use it as temporary storage or other creative things as long as you aren't gone for more than the duration.
