Yes, it is!!! Wow, its going to take quite a lot of work to get done, I hate to see it in this state and hope someone takes care of it! Of all my dollhouses, my Glen Cove Villa is my favorite! (And most $$$ one to get!)

This one was floating around Facebook Marketplace for about a year and then they reduced the price! Nice, very nice, even though I prefer the Nob Hill.

Great deal!!!!!! I just purchased a Walmer Nob for 700, but hey, i am not complaining!!!! Every time someone compliments it I’ll do a Monica and say “I know!”

It’s interesting how many dollhouses/minis I have seen that are the same models and condition and the wide range of prices!!!! I have seen a Rosedawn Plantation for 10,000 and then the same model, fully furnished for 1,300. I bought four sets of dolls for 30 all together and then found another seller that just was selling them “each” for 120. Sometimes when I see outrageous prices I think maybe they are just aiming high and will lower it as soon as the hagglers start. The biggest letdown I have ever experienced was when at an auction a Lawbre Chesterfield sold for 250 when its priced at over eight thousand! (I saw it after the fact) I always tell newbies to shop around, and look at prices so they know not to overpay for someone they can find much more affordable.

So she basically tried to sell you the Lawbre Shadowcliff dollhouse (which I have) and then said it was just a picture, that’s appalling, I am more of an ebay person and know that ebay has very strict rules on frauds and jump right in when someone tries to cheats you out of your money. I really do hope you get your money back and am so sorry. How much did you pay her, if its ok to ask????

I would LOVE to buy it and take it off your hands if we lived closer, I am in Pennsylvania. How much are you thinking of selling it for and is to there I link to another site where I could see it please? .

Suzi!!! So so happy you wrote back, I was worried you’d never see my message...well the house arrived yesterday, and I take it you have seen it personally? Words cannot describe this house, its not only huge but absolutely breathtaking! I can’t stop looking at it. It must have taken years to build, I have never seen a dollhouse so lifelike and intricate before. Its a very interesting story how I “met’ Liz. I reside in Greece during the winter months and one night, as I was enduring a red-eye all nighter while caring for my terminally ill grandmother in the hospital, I stumble upon Liz and her estate sale of dollhouses. That was back in January and she graciously kept it throughout the entire Covid crisis until I was ready to come back home.I already own seven Greenleaf and three Lawbres and The Elliot Bay immediately caught my eye. I kept pacing the hospital so excited and the prospect of actually owning it made the entire ordeal easier. After eight months of taking care of my grandmother, her passing, and Covid restrictions, I finally have it!!!! But seeing it in a picture and actually seeing it 3 d is a different realm altogether. I have to see if the lighting is intact and re-pack it again for the trip to Greece where it will be the pride and joy of the entire residence (besides my lovely ten year old daughter of course!) I am absolutely thrilled with it! Please post interior pics of your own when you get a chance. Are you on any facebook dollhouse sites?

Thanks so much ladies!! I am absolutely thrilled with it, and it is larger than I thought! The nuns are not mine, these are stock photos before I bought the dollhouse. Never have a seen a more elaborate dollhouse, it is, and I kid you not, a mini version of a real house, and I will post more pics soon. For anyone else interested, here is another article about these houses!https://www.deseret.com/1988/12/11/18787633/have-yourself-a-little-merry-christmas

Okay Everyone, please share. What is a dollhouse(es) that you absolutely fell in love with, had to have, but for some reason or the other (lose a bid, seller gave it to someone else, or simply it was too expensive or too far) never acquired it? One of mine was an absolutely gorgeous yellow Garfield aptly named “The Yellow Rose Inn” that was fully and very beautifully furnished for a very reasonable 500. However I was out of the country and begged the seller to keep it for me for a few weeks until I got back, even offering her more money. Sadly she needed to clear the room of it pronto and sold it to someone else. Sigh.....my unrequited dollhouse love ❤️

I have been incredibly lucky and blessed that I have acquired quite a collection... a custom built Beacon Hill, a Garfield, a Willowcrest, a Lily, Brimbles’ Mechantile, The Lawbre Glen Cove Villa (my favorite, along with my Beacon Hill) The Lawbre Shadowcliff, The Lawbre French Country House, plus an original Elliot Bay house by Ron Clanton. Plus, I have three Jubilee English shoppes.I must admit though, the only house I really really want to put the finishing touch to my collection is...drumroll please...The Grosvenor!!! But its incredibly hard to find here in the United States. Island-Shack, they had a Rosedawn Plantation a few weeks ago on ebay starting bid 999, and it went to 2050, I believe.

The interior is “so” realistic. hardware floors, lighting, and a built in laundry room. The seller was a complete doll, added extras such as chandeliers and curtains as well!

Wow, finally got the hang of this! And yes, the tree and zoo animals were included in the sale too :-)

Here is another one from another angle....

I think I have figured it out, here it is!!!

Averyfinewoman, I am terribly sorry I have not responded back, but I cannot, for the life of me, paste and post my Elliot Bay House by Ron Clanton on this page, despite my efforts! (I cant “respond” under your comment either, lots to still learn on this site!) I think we are talking about the same gal in Utah, because it was she who sold me the dollhouse, and as a matter of fact it is finally being shipped out, I am supposed to get it this week!!! I was out of the country and she very graciously kept it for me all these Covid months while I finally made it back. I am trying to post it now for you, its absolutely gorgeous (but so is yours!)
