In my opinion the "best" house is in Windhelm however its spaced out over 2 floors. In my opinion the "most well organized and best located" house is in Whiterun, 2 steps from the fast travel destination, all crafting tools next door, but wheres the nearest Arcane Enchanter?

I am going for the cheap one at Whiterun next time. It is close to a Fast Travel point, an excellent Smith and other good shops, and has functional storage (plenty of it, but not pretty). IMHO its only disadvantage is that the Enchant Workbench isnt very close. I dont like the more expensive ones I have tried, they seem like mazes with little or at least inconvenient storage.

every house except the one in Whiterun can have an enchanting table. the closest one that I can recall in Whiterun is up in Dragonreach with the Jarls Wizard.
Now, if you are on a PC, there is a mod that replaces the alchemy table and the table next to it with one big table with an alchemy station and enchanting station on it. It also includes another satchel that I use to put all my soul gems.
The home in Markrath is not to bad and sort of close to the fast travel point. It's right above a store too. Down side is that the blacksmiths are across town.
It has both tables in it, four useable bookshelves that hold 18 books each, a lot of storage containers, one manniquin, a bunch of weapon plaques, two weapon racks that hold 2 weapons each, four small display cases, cook area, and two big dinning tables. Probably a few other things but I'm doing this from memory at work

The arch-mages quarters has an enchanting table and an alchemy lab, and a crap-load of storage. Unfortunently, lots of loading screens to get there.
Whiterun while small and lacking an enchanter may be the best house. Its got a ton of storage, has a forge next door, Lydia and is right at the fast travel spot and in a central city for those that dont ft.
I use it as my home base. Its got 4 npcs who buy wepons (5 if you are married). My smithing cloths and gear goes in the first chest, ingredients in the chest by the lab. Wepons in the hall way, armor in the bedroom chest and misc crap in the other dressers. It kinda bugs me that Im able to cram 5 sets of armor in a night stand.
The only thing I cant keep there is my book collection which is in Marakath. The house in Marakath may be the best layed out, but the city blows. Who really wants to live in a cave carved into cliff with a fancy door? Where does the smoke from the fireplace go? I imagine that its always cold, damp and smells like a locker room. Nick, the bed sheets must always feel wet.

haha, I can see your point and hadn't thought of it in that way. lol
In the whiterun house, you could put you ingredients in the satchel on th alchemy table and then use the chest for books or potions.

Just want to let you know, the Arch mage quarters is NOT a safe place to store items. The chests and barrals there will reset and any loot you wanted to hold on to will be gone. The only safe places to drop items off that you wish to hold on to are any houses you bye and the Students room at the college.

Actually one of the biggest downers in Skyrim i must admit.
you should be able to buy a dragon as a mount, or somehow capture alduin and make him your biatchh

Buying the first, cheapest home in Whiterun is the best choice for starter characters simply due to the price/available storage. Its the only house I have bought, even though I am the Arch Mage, Harbinger, and Nightingale I always return to a Stormcloak run Whiterun.
I want to be a dark elf with a Mohawk riding around the forests with my frostsaber.
