THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS PRESENT

Children’s playhouse which is an exact replica of designer’s home goes up for sale for £35k

The company has built 12 playhouses for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and aim to donate one playhouse for every 10 they sell

THIS playhouse, built to match the homeowner’s existing home, could be every child’s ultimate Christmas gift - but it’ll cost you £35,000.

Incredible images show the exterior of the miniature house with a porch and attached play area with a rock climbing wall and 10 foot slide.

Other stunning shots show the 10x12foot living area, a screened sand box area to keep mosquitoes out and plenty of storage space with sofas to relax on.

The fantasy playhouse was built by special order by Wish to Play, but they can put together a modular playhouse for £6,500 to £8,000.

“This playhouse was designed to similarly match the homeowner’s existing home and guest house,” said Brian Grossman.

“The customer has two grandchildren and thought this would be a great place for them to play outside yet not be an eyesore for the neighbourhood and blend into the existing decor around the property.

“The living area is roughly 10’x12’ and includes pre-finished ship lap siding, electrical, HVAC, insulation, hardwood floors and tongue & groove decking on exposed rafters.

The wall height is six foot tall but since the ceiling is vaulted, when you walk in, it feels very large.

“These stairs also go the opposite direction of the pergola over to a smaller five foot slide for smaller kids.

There is also a large “A” frame swing set attached to one of the columns of the pergola with three swings attached.

“We ran some trees up through the pergola to the second floor to give it a tree house feel.

“We added cedar siding with stain to match the house, cultured stone and brick to imitate the existing house as well. I designed and built this structure in about six weeks.”

The company has also built 12 playhouses for the Make-A-Wish Foundation at no cost and aim to donate one playhouse to the charity for every 10 modular playhouses or five customer playhouses they sell.

“This company was built and designed to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation because we could see the lives it has changed and wanted to do more,” added Brian.

“It is like the Tom’s Shoes model but with playhouses, a company for a cause. We are actually only about three or four months in on this company.

“The modular playhouses are 8’x12’ and come in 18 pieces that are prefinished in our shop ready for install.”
