With 250 or 150 square feet of space, you may have to settle for off street parking, but this playhouse will be a dream for that special little someone, and look great next to your own home. In the same spirit as our girl's Wishful Wendy model, the 12x12 and 10x10 Humble Abode playhouse plans were designed as a compact and kid sized gabled Ell folk house that's superb for both boys and girls and would look snazzy anywhere it's constructed.
Featuring two stories, bay window and a pergola, it's perfect for the kid who has the definitive will to move on up, but without the income to make it happen. Download your copy and get started on building your child their own luxury playhouse!
