Curtailed Condo Clubhouse Plan

The Curtailed Condo Clubhouse Plan puts a charming twist on classic backyard playhouses with its tall, cottage inspired design and a unique inset second level balcony. Its slightly altered proportions give it a distinct, almost storybook appearance while still maintaining the familiar gable roofed aesthetic seen across the Paul’s Playhouses collection. With a full covered porch below and a cozy loft space above, it invites kids into a world of imagination, adventure, and open ended play.

This design is both practical and playful, offering room to add swings, slides, or climbing features if desired. Thoughtful details, like generous window placement for natural light and an inviting two story layout, make this playhouse feel like a true home away from home. Whether tucked into a corner of the yard or standing tall as a centerpiece, the Curtailed Condo brings personality and presence to any outdoor space, and is perfect for kids who love a little extra height and a whole lot of charm.
