New Fork, New York

A few weeks ago we reported on a doghouse fit for a human, now we've come across a treehouse fit for aristocracy.

Renowned as one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in Manhattan, the Upper East Side still shows its roots on occasion. A historic 1866 clapboard home is now on the market for just over AU$10M, offering buyers - among other luxuries like a wood panelled library, elevator and wine cellar - a 48' back garden with a clapboard tree house, fashioned in the same design as the historic house itself, the NY Post reported recently.

In a city where residents seem to grow up too quickly, it's nice to see there are still places for children to be children.
