For a million dollars, you can get a four-bedroom house in the suburbs, a swanky, but small, condo in Manhattan – or the raddest tree house ever.
The layout can be found at cartoonnetwork.com, which is selling the tree house as part of its “ultimate holiday wish list” promotion.
It’s a complete replica of the tree house on the Cartoon Network show Codename: Kids Next Door, complete with five rooms: an airplane bedroom, a ship bedroom, a covered deck, a kitchen/game room and an entertainment center.
And, of course, the totally unreal price of $1 million.
The house – built 42 feet in the air in a reinforced steel “tree” -has plumbing, electrical and phone wires. It features super-cool accessories like a foosball table, a PlayStation, a 50″ Sony plasma television and an Orion AstroView 120mm EQ Refractor Telescope.
But there aren’t any bathrooms – because presumably only adults need them.
“This is just the start of everyone wanting a tree house, not just kids,” says Codename: KND’s creator, Tom Warburton, who prefers to be known as “Mr. Warburton.” “People are going to realize that tree houses are the wave of the future.”
Sadly, only one tree house will be constructed by the folks at Cartoon Network, who are also marketing a Powerpuff Girls bedroom ($99,995), a Dexter’s Laboratory bedroom ($99,995) and a Space Ghost executive desk and chair – replete with a mini-fridge and pop-up television ($39,995).
But by far the most popular item has been the tree house, says Greg Heanue, the senior marketing director at the network.
“A few people have been interested, but when we call them back, for assorted reasons the funding fell through,” says Heane. Of course, he adds, the prospective buyers – so far – have been 10-year-olds.
