That 450k you spent was actually the Estate Hall permit that "builds" the house. You would have had to pay that regardless of what exterior you want. I still don't understand why SE doesn't roll that into the price of the plot and give the owner a choice of default skins to select at the time they purchase the plot.

Mix and match of the Glade/Oasis/Riviera/Hingan exterior fixtures is a good way to go. They're either inexpensive to make (ask a friend since you don't craft) or cheap because quick ventures have flooded the marketboard with pieces. You should be able to at least the mandatory fixtures (wall, roof, door window) for under 100k if not the others (except fence) as well. Don't forget that some of the exterior fixtures can be dyed if different colors would make what you do have more bearable.
