When a reader sent in the listing for this 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom house on a 50 x 146.83 foot lot at 173 Lawrence Avenue East in Lawrence Park last August...

My first reaction when I saw the photos was...

Because I have never seen anything like it.

Here is the front window/tree window...

The fireplace...

The kitchen...

And some tile...

In my first post, I thought it looked like it was inspired by The Friendly Giant...

Or maybe Mr. Dressup...

(who is more annoying?)

But come to think of it, I think it's more like the Tiny Tots Family Tree House...

 That I mentioned in the post for the waterfront house at 2888 Panoramic Drive in Vancouver.

When this house was on the market last August, the asking price was $2,188,000.

Surprisingly...

It didn't sell and it was back on the market in April for the same price.

In June, the price was dropped to $2,149,000.

Then to $2,095,000 last week.

And now $1,995,000.
